440G-A07180

The 440G-A07180 Atlas 5 is a positive mode, tongue operated guard locking interlock switch that locks a machine guard closed until power is isolated and ensures that it remains isolated while the guard is open. The guard may only be opened when a signal is applied to the internal solenoid which releases the lock mechanism. A heavy-duty switch, the 440G-A07180 locking mechanism withstands forces up to 5500N (1236lbs.) and the die-cast alloy housing is ideal for use in harsh environments. A unique feature of the Atlas 5 440G-A07180 is its patented selfaligning head that tolerates actuator or guard misalignment, making it particularly useful for heavy machine guards.

The Atlas 5 440G-A07180 is designed for machines that do not stop immediately or where premature interruption of the machine could cause damage to tooling and components or cause an additional hazard. With 2 safety (N.C.) contacts and 2 auxiliary (N.O.) contact, Atlas 5 440G-A07180 is ideal for PLC controlled machines.
