Rockwell offers TUV-certified e-stop pushbuttons

By Rockwell Automation on 26th July 201015th December 2015

Product Details Supplier Info More products

Rockwell Automation has achieved TUV certification for the B10d Functional Safety rating on all styles of Allen-Bradley emergency-stop pushbuttons – critical components for automation systems.

This safety certification allows users to take the certified safety product data and include these products in calculating the safety level of their entire control safety systems.

This helps to improve worker safety because designers have greater insight into when components, such as e-stop pushbuttons, will need to be replaced or repaired, in order to help ensure control safety system reliability.

E-stop pushbuttons are used to cease motion in order to help prevent injury to workers or damage to machinery.

For example, in an emergency that might escalate into a hazardous situation, an operator would press the e-stop button to stop the machine or equipment, preventing further risk to the worker or the system.

The B10d rating further validates the position of the Allen-Bradley pushbutton range, which is already recognised for ingress protection sealing technology, a low-voltage switching capability and reliability.

While many companies self certify for this safety rating, the Allen-Bradley e-stop buttons were rigorously tested with evaluation, verification and confirmation by TUV Rheinland.

The TUV-certified e-stop pushbuttons are available now.

The B10d rating certification complements the range of e-stop pushbuttons, which includes the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 800F 22.5mm and Allen-Bradley Bulletin 800T/H 30.5mm.
