Emergency Stop Devices/Rope Pull Switches Rope pull switches Task of rope pull switches In the field of safety engineering, rope pull switches belong to the category of “Emergency stop devices with mechanical latching” according to EN ISO 13850. The required emergency stop function must be available and functional at all times irrespective of the operating mode. After operation of the actuating element, the emergency stop device must automatically prevent or reduce the hazard in the best possible way. The trip range is much larger than for switches with an emergency stop pushbutton, since operation...

Emergency Stop Devices/Rope Pull Switches-11

Emergency Stop Devices/Rope Pull Switches In order to achieve this, the rope pull switch has one center position and two switch-off positions. The switch is in center position during machine operation. If the safety rope is pulled or breaks, the switch moves from the center position to one of the switch-off positions and the machine is stopped. Rope pull switches from EUCHNER have a window which allows the switch position to be seen. State on delivery and position in the event of a rope break/tear Correct rope tension, switch active/can be activated Installation and rope attachment Installation...

Emergency Stop Devices/Rope Pull Switches Temperature dependence When planning safety installations with rope pull switches, it is necessary to take into account the temperature dependence of the installation and the safety rope so that the switch is not tripped as a result of a change in temperature. To do this, the possible rope lengths must be determined and the trip point must be readjusted regularly. The following graph shows the relationship between rope length and temperature. Installation should take place at a temperature of 20 °C. Recommended rope length depending on the ambient temperature...
