Allen-Bradley 440E Lifeline Series Cable-Pull Safety Switches: Reliable Emergency Stop Solutions

Introduction

In industrial automation, safety is critical to protect personnel and equipment. The Allen-Bradley 440E Lifeline Series Cable-Pull Safety Switches are engineered to provide reliable emergency stop functionality across conveyor systems and machinery. These switches ensure that operators can stop equipment quickly and safely, meeting international safety standards while enhancing workplace productivity.

What Are 440E Lifeline Cable-Pull Safety Switches?

The 440E Lifeline Series is a family of cable-operated safety switches designed to detect emergency stop commands along the entire length of a machine or conveyor line. Unlike standard E-stop buttons, which are limited to specific points, cable-pull switches offer continuous protection across extended distances.

With rugged housings and IP67-rated environmental protection, the Lifeline 440E series withstands demanding industrial conditions such as dust, moisture, and vibration.
