Allen Bradley 440K-A11144 Semi FLEX Actuator & Guide

Product Details

Allen Bradley Guardmaster 440K-A11144 Semi-Flexible Actuator with Alignment Guide

Establish safe-access to machinery by using the 440K-A11144 Semi-Flexible Actuator by Allen Bradley Guardmaster with your Trojan switch.
The 440K-A11144 unit is a Semi-Flexible Actuator with Alignment Guide which is designed for use with the Trojan 5 & 6 safety interlock switches. It is made of stainless-steel to provide optimal durability and reliability.
Semi-Flexible actuators can be used in operations where the actuator enters the switch at an angle and are highly suitable for use with tight angles. The angle can be adjusted on the actuator to suit your requirements. Semi-Flexible actuators move in a single plan direction only. The Semi-Flexible key also allows the safety switch to be used on smaller radii doors.
This specially profiled actuator can be used with a safety switch to offer dependable and secure guard-locking which protects personnel and equipment. It should be permanently fixed to the safety guard, where it can then be inserted into the safety interlock switch.

Features and Benefits:

Semi-Flexible Actuator with Alignment Guide – ideal for tight angles
For use with Trojan 5 and Trojan 6 safety interlock switches
Made of robust stainless-steel
Perfect for smaller radii guards

Applications:

Sliding
Hinged
Lift-off guards

Certifications:

CCC certified
C/US UL listed

What are Safety Interlock Switches?

Safety Interlock Switches are locking devices which can be used to monitor the position of a machine guard door and turn off the power supply when the safety barrier is released. They can also be used to keep a guard securely locked when machinery is running. This helps to prevent personnel from accessing a hazardous area where machinery may be in motion and minimises risk of injury or equipment damage. Interlock switches are often used for industrial applications.

What is a Safety Interlock Actuator?

The actuator is a separate component which is usually inserted into the switch to enable the locking mechanism to work. It forms a key part of the overall safety interlock unit. Different types include: 90º, Flat, Standard, Semi-Flexible, Fully Flexible, and Specialty.
Rockwell Automation is a global leader in industrial automation and digital transformation, and brings smart manufacturing to life. With a long legacy of creating Allen-Bradley integrated control and information solutions, we help make you as productive as possible. Our portfolio of sensing, safety and motor control products can support your move towards smart machine applications. Allen-Bradley IO-Link sensors are data-enabled and communicate with all field buses, providing diagnostic and health information about the device before a machine stops, and enabling quick production changeovers through fast parameter downloads from PLCs into the device. This reduces machine downtime and increases manufacturing OEE. For safety components, products with built-in diagnostics simplify the set-up of the smart device, and reduce maintenance, leading to a more efficient, machine data-driven approach.
