Allen Bradley Guardmaster Flat Actuator for Use with TLS-GD2 Interlock Safety Switch

A range of accessories for Allen-Bradley safety switches.

Ensure that your guard-locking safety system is complete with the 440K-A11112 Actuator by Allen Bradley Guardmaster and ensure total protection for your guard door and personnel.

The 440K-A11112 unit is a Flat Actuator which is made of tough stainless-steel. It is suitable for use with the Trojan/440G-MT/TLSGD2/MT-GD2 safety interlock switches and can be used on sliding, hinged, and lift-off safety guards. This specially-profiled actuator must be permanently attached to the door, where it can then be inserted into the interlock switch. The flat actuator is mounted on small rubber blocks, which allows for some play when the guard closes.

This actuator helps to establish secure safe-access to machinery when combined with the safety interlock switch.

• Flat Actuator
• Made of stainless-steel – highly reliable and durable
• For use with Trojan/440G-MT/TLSGD2/MT-GD2 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.

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.
