A pull cord switch is a switch used for emergency stopping in the vicinity of belt conveyors and transporting machinery when accidents occur.
The installation of emergency stop switches involves placing them in appropriate locations and tensioning a pull cord. Activating the switch by pulling the cord triggers an emergency stop, a crucial safety measure mandated by occupational safety and health regulations, especially around conveyors and transporting machinery.
The emergency stop switch serves two vital functions: first, it halts machinery in case of accidents, and second, it functions as an alarm, notifying the surrounding area of the emergency stop. To prevent personal accidents, proper installation is essential, requiring the switch to be positioned within 3 meters around the conveyor. Moreover, careful consideration should be given to the pull cord's placement to ensure easy access for the conveyor operator.
