Q. What exactly is a pull cord switch?

If an emergency ought to occur on the belt conveyor the operator may simply pull the cord to immediately halt the machine. The Pull Cord Switch has activated from anywhere along the belt conveyor thanks to its design which calls for its installation on the side of the conveyor and the mounting of the pull cord along its length. Installing a Pull Cord Switch on a belt conveyor in Japan is required under the country's Industrial Safety and Health Regulations. The emergency stop button is included within the Detector allowing a user to immediately halt the mechanical equipment without having to draw on the wire rope.
