Why Choose the Lovato RS131310 Rope-Pull Emergency Limit Switch?
The Lovato RS131310 is a rope-pull safety limit switch for emergency stopping, designed to provide accessible emergency-stop control along machinery and conveyor installations. It features a rope-pull lever, front manual RESET button, 1NO+1NC contacts and a 25 N operating force.
Designed in accordance with ISO 13850 emergency-stop principles, the RS131310 allows an emergency command to be initiated by pulling a connected rope rather than requiring access to a single local pushbutton. Following actuation, the switch remains in its emergency condition until it is intentionally restored using the reset button, helping prevent unintended automatic restart.
The RS131310 uses a durable polymer thermoplastic housing, self-releasing screw terminals and a PG11 cable entry. With a 10 A conventional thermal current, 250 V rated insulation voltage and mechanical endurance of 100,000 cycles, it provides a practical safety switching solution for industrial machinery and material-handling systems.

Rope-Pull Emergency Stopping for Industrial Machinery
Rope-pull safety switches provide an effective emergency-stop solution where personnel need access to a stopping command along an extended section of machinery. Instead of relying on a single fixed emergency-stop pushbutton, the Lovato RS131310 can be connected to a suitably designed rope system so an emergency command can be initiated from accessible positions along the protected area.
The 1NO+1NC contact arrangement allows the RS131310 to interface with appropriate machine-control and safety circuits, while the manual reset mechanism requires deliberate intervention following operation. This combination makes the switch particularly suitable for conveyors, material-handling equipment and other machinery where emergency-stop accessibility is required over an extended operating area.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor emergency-stop systems.
- Material handling equipment.
- Industrial production lines.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- Machinery requiring extended emergency-stop access.
- Industrial machine safety systems.
