The new safety rope pull switch RPS-M
The new RPS-M from EUCHNER expands the range of safety rope pull switches by a version with metal housing.

It is used as an emergency stop device especially in long and expansive machine installations that cannot be protected with safety covers. The emergency stop function can be triggered at any point of the pre-tensioned rope pull system by pulling the rope/tearing of the rope or directly at the rope pull switch. Reset is performed by pulling on the emergency stop device. The stable and robust metal housing and the high degree of protection IP 67 allow the RPS-M to be used in both indoor and outdoor areas, even under difficult climatic conditions. Its handling couldn't be simpler. Thanks to the fast-action clamping head, mounting is rapid and simple. The connection space and the possibility of three cable entries ensure flexible handling and installation.

The RPS-M features easily readable switching-state displays permitting correct setting and checking of the rope tension. Optionally, the RPS-M is available with an electronic pre-failure monitoring. This permits early detection of a change in the rope tension and prevents unintentional triggering of the emergency stop device.

EUCHNER – More than safety.
