Acromag’s new BusWorks NT series remote I/O modules provide an Ethernet interface for analog, discrete and temperature signals. NTE Ethernet I/O models have dual RJ45 ports and a webserver with Modbus TCP/IP communication to monitor or control the internal I/O channels. An integrated DIN rail bus allows connection of up to three NTX expansion I/O modules.
New IDEM non-contact magnetic coded switches use force-guided contacts and have an internal monitoring system so that they are stand-alone, not requiring the use of a separate safety relay. The wide 14mm sensing range provides a high tolerance to misalignment. Models are available that support automatic reset or manual reset, as well as a selectable auto/manual reset.
Hygienic Design includes the design principles for the avoidance of design weaknesses, which could favor hygiene-related hazards. The cleaning capability of materials, surfaces and structural elements are regarded as the central points of Hygienic Design. No dirt of any kind may accumulate or be permanently deposited, or must be easily removed.
Companies can prepare their production facilities for more demanding, data-intensive networking with the new high-performance, all-gigabit Allen-Bradley Stratix 5800 managed industrial Ethernet switch . The switch supports layer 2 access switching and layer 3 routing for use in multiple layers of the architecture. Robust security capabilities and ISA/IEC 62443-4-2 certification help enhance network security.
Recently, C&K was proud to reintroduce the RK series of tactile switches with new and improved actuation forces and a variety of sizes to fit your specific application. RKA2 is a low profile switch that is perfect for applications where height is a large consideration and is available with four different actuation forces. RKB2 is a switch that is the most robust in the lineup of the RK series which offers three actuation forces.
RAFI is expanding its rugged RAFIX 22 FSR control component range with a signal lamp featuring a stainless steel collar with IP65, IP67 and IP69 degree of protection to the front side. The integrated red/green LED can indicate three signal statuses. The translucent indicator is a neutral white in standby mode, green indicates regular operating condition, and red signals faults.
The easiest way to control the speed directly on the machine is to use an analog potentiometer. However, wearing gloves in dusty or humid environments, for example, makes operation more difficult. Therefore, the use of the robust SIRIUS ACT ID key-operated switch as a digital potentiometer is particularly suitable under these environmental conditions. This alternative with freely programmable IO-Link electronic module enables precise and fine-grained speed adjustment due to its tactile detent positions.
Emerson has launched a range of two-way and three-way solenoid valves that support original equipment manufacturers’ (OEMs) need to develop more compact machines and equipment without compromising on fluid control performance. The optimized body design and internal flow path of the new ASCO Series 256/356 not only provides a smaller footprint, but also reduced power consumption and increased pressure ratings critical in industrial and commercial applications.
Following the launch of the 3D configurator for Emergency Stop Switches, EAO already has an exciting new update: Digital products can now be positioned into real settings via mobile device and thus tested before purchase. EAO’s Emergency Stop Configurator helps customers assemble the right switch from a wide range of components, and visualize it in various virtual 3D spaces.
C&K has done it again – first introducing the revolutionary KSC Tireless Endurance (KSC TE) with 10 million cycles at 1.6N, the highest in the industry. Now C&K has launched a 5 million cycle version with higher actuation forces at 2.8N and 4N – again making these miniature tactile switches the highest lifecycle switches available in a 6mm x 6mm form factor in the industry.
SCHURTER announces its new TA36 thermal circuit breaker, improving on an already successful series TA35. The new series boasts a modern sculpted rocker switch and bezel, while sporting a host of contemporary colors to choose from. Equipment designers have become increasingly aware of the need to create products that are not only superior in functionality, but also present compelling aesthetics.
EAO has extended the robust and attractive Series 82 with an overmoulded option and M12 connector. The new version is available for selected illuminated pushbuttons within the Series 82 and offers fast mounting as well as complete front and rear IP67 protection. It is common to expose actuators and indicators to extremely harsh operating conditions. For example in the food & beverage industry, where alkaline cleaning agents and corrosion severely affect HMIs.
Rockwell Automation has recently released a new line of IEC industrial relays that save energy and simplify selection. The new Allen-Bradley Bulletin 700-EF control relays offer universal wide-range coils. Four coil options cover control voltages from 24V to 500V, 50 to 60 Hz DC, making selection easier.
SCHURTER’s proven power entry module, series DD11, provides a high level of functional integration in the most minimal of package dimensions. The power entry module is ideally suited for equipment with low profile panels. Consisting of an IEC appliance inlet (C14), which is compatible with cord retention, 1- or 2-pole fuseholder, and power ON/OFF switch, the DD11 is now available with side mounting flanges in addition to the existing model with top and bottom flanges.
The SMART-Net Relay is a compact, multichannel line-voltage relay solution that will save you time and money on installation.
Instantly control machinery or electronic devices with our pushbutton switches. Our range includes durable and reliable options from trusted brands. Choose from industrial-size models as well as compact designs. Look out for helpful features like LED lights, which will let you see the switch in low lighting. Pushbutton switches are useful for both residential and commercial purposes, including repairing appliances and controlling machines such as garage doors.
