LHPEw-10/2-BSL(R)-S Pull-wire Switch

LHPEw-10/2-BSL(R)-S Pull-wire Switch
(one-sided)

Functions

It makes emergency stopping of a conveyor belt possible from every place, on its full-length. The maximum length of a wire is 50 m. It assures work safety near a conveyor belt according to the harmonized EU norms:

EN 1050:1999 “Safety of machinery. Principles of risk assessment."
EN 954-1:2001 „Safety of machinery, Safety-related parts of control systems "
EN 418: "Safety of machinery. Emergency stop equipment, functional aspects ”

Application

Pull-wire switches are required where people have an access to conveyor belts. According to safety norms’ restrictions, the possibility of stopping belt from every place along its length must be secured. In the case of a belt more than a couple meters long, STOP switch near its drive does not fulfill these criteria.

LHPE switches are especially recommended for heavy industry and technological lines in the open air conditions, where temperatures’ changes disqualify simple switches of other producers.

Description

LHPEw-10/2-BSL(R) pull-wire switches are equipped with a lever fastened to the inner spring mechanism. The lever, to which an emergency wire is fastened, could be in the three different positions. In the neutral position, the lever is situated vertically (balanced). After pulling the wire, switch of the control contacts and simultaneous lever’s blockade take place. The return to neutral connection is only possible by manual reset (blue switch). If the wire is broken (cut) when the lever is in neutral position, the activation of contacts also takes place as the result of spring mechanism operation. Also in a very improbable case of inner spring’s damage or contacts’ damage by short circuit, there is an automatic switching-off.

The characteristic feature of the LHPE switches is durability, which, together with IP 67 casing, enables to use LHPE switches in typical industrial, difficult conditions. The device has been designed in a way that it fulfills current harmonized EU norms’ restrictions. It is; inter alia, connected with automatically generated signal of the wire’s breaking, durability to exterior conditions – vibrations, temperature, humidity and other, manual resetting and with other essential aspects that influences work’s reliability.
