Description
Slack rope switch for slack rope safety device
Safety-relevant switch for monitoring cable tension on electrically operated gates. Detects decreasing cable tension and stops the motor immediately – for maximum personal and occupational safety.
Product overview
The slack rope switch is installed on a floor fitting with rope adjustment and monitors the rope tension on gate systems. If the rope tension decreases (for example, due to slack, misadjustment, or rope breakage), the switch triggers a signal that reliably stops the motor. This prevents uncontrolled gate movements and reduces consequential damage.

Application and assembly
The slack rope switch is mounted on the floor fitting unit with rope adjustment. During operation, it monitors the defined rope tension. If the tension is lost, a shutdown signal is sent to the control unit and the motor stops.
Practical example
In a workshop with frequent gate operation, a slack cable switch was retrofitted to minimize the risk associated with cable wear. Since then, the drive stops immediately upon loss of voltage, significantly reducing downtime and damage.
