Ensure that your guard-locking system is complete with the 440G-A27163 Sliding Bolt Actuator from Allen Bradley Guardmaster.

The 440G-A27163 unit is a Sliding Bolt Actuator which is suitable for use with the TLS-GD2 Safety Interlock Switch. This reliable actuator is manually operated and can be extended to work with an interlock switch. When retracted it can be locked off with up to 3 padlocks, offering dependable security. It is also made of tough stainless-steel to ensure superior durability, and the housing is comprised of aluminium. It has 4 x M5 fixings. This actuator should be permanently attached to the guard door.

Dimensions: 3.3in (length) X 1.57in (width) X 5.51in (height)

This actuator is used with a safety interlock switch to provide safe-access to machinery and hazardous areas, offering greater protection for personnel and equipment.

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.
