Allen-Bradley 440F-E0118S05 Safedge Safety Edge for Machine Guarding

The Allen-Bradley 440F-E0118S05 (440F-E0118S05) is a Guardmaster Safedge safety edge designed for machine guarding and personnel protection in industrial environments. Operating as a pressure-sensitive sensing edge within the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 440F product line, this safety component is used to safeguard hazardous pinch points, automated gates, moving machine beds, and automated guided vehicles. When contact or pressure is applied along the active sensing surface, the unit signals the associated safety monitoring system or safety relay to immediately halt dangerous machinery movement, preventing operator injury and equipment damage. Engineered for demanding industrial conditions, the device features a rugged profile construction capable of withstanding repetitive mechanical contact and harsh manufacturing plant atmospheres. Weighing approximately 10 kg, the 440F-E0118S05 integrates seamlessly into comprehensive industrial safety circuits alongside complementary Allen-Bradley safety controllers and monitoring relays. It is widely deployed across material handling systems, packaging machinery, robotic work cells, and automated assembly lines where reliable tactile presence sensing and edge detection are vital for maintaining workplace safety.
