Allen Bradley Guardmaster 440N Series Magnetic Non-Contact Safety Switch, 24V dc, Plastic Housing, NC, 6m Cable

Maximise protection for equipment and machine operators by using the 440N-G02082 Ferrogard Non-Contact Safety Switch by Allen Bradley Guardmaster. This switch offers superior guard-locking due to its high tolerance to door misalignment, combined with the reliability of contact-free switches.

This unit is a magnetically actuated non-contact interlock switch which is designed to be installed on a machine guard door. When the safety barrier is opened the magnetic actuator is withdrawn from the switch, which opens the NC safety contact and isolates power to the machine. This ensures that operators cannot access a hazardous area where machinery is in motion, minimising risk of injury and downtime. It is perfectly suited for use with hinged, sliding, and lift-off doors.

The 440N-G02082 Ferrogard safety switch has 1NC (Normally Closed) safety contact and a 6m cable. The safety contact switching capability is 24 V dc at 1 A current. The operating distance for this magnetic safety switch is 12mm (make), 23mm (break). The FRS 9 housing is comprised of resilient moulded ABS plastic, which is red for easier visibility. The enclosure is sealed to IP67 (NEMA 6P), ensuring that this unit is dust-tight and water-resistant. The Ferrogard safety switches also have protected safety contacts to ensure that they do not fail to danger.

• High tolerance to guard door misalignment
• Less wear-and-tear and longer service life due to non-contact actuation
• Internal non-resettable overload protection on the safety contact
• Ideally suited for use in wash-down environments due to IP67 rating
• Two active sensing faces and narrow housing allow flexible mounting

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.

Non-contact safety switches are highly reliable and durable. They take less wear and tear and are low-maintenance, as well as resistant to shocks and vibrations. They cannot be easily manipulated or tampered with and are ideal for use with machine guards and doors to restrict access to unsafe areas. They are often used in industrial environments, such as in factory production lines.
