Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does a slack rope switch work?
It monitors the rope tension mechanically. If the rope tension is relieved or breaks, the roller/lever mechanism activates a contact (normally closed/normally closed) and reports the fault to the control system – for example, for immediate shutdown.
Which standards apply to slack rope switches?
Our models comply with DIN EN 60947-5-5 (safety switchgear) and meet the requirements of common machinery directives. Data sheets contain the permissible switching currents, protection classes , and temperature ranges .
What are normally closed/normally closed contacts useful for?
Normally closed (NC): Closed when energized – more secure against wire breakage. Normally open (NO): Signals when triggered. Many devices offer changeover contacts for flexible connection.
How are slack rope switches installed and adjusted?
Mount on a stable surface near the rope deflection, adjust the rope guide, and set the pretension according to the data sheet. Check the release travel and perform a functional test with the rope laid down.
What types of protection and operating conditions are common?
Depending on the model , IP54–IP67 , temperature and vibration resistant. For outdoor applications, ensure corrosion-resistant housings.
Are there versions with a reset button or lock?
Yes – optionally with manual reset (reset button) or locking function. This prevents automatic restart without visual inspection.
