RS PRO Enables Industrial Maintenance Without the Markup
October 14, 2025
RS offers a comprehensive selection of high-quality, cost-effective, and installation-ready RS PRO maintenance solutions designed to meet the needs of today’s busy industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals and arrive on time and under budget.
Industrial maintenance is essential for ensuring regulatory compliance and personnel and equipment safety in the discrete and process manufacturing, energy and utilities, and facilities and intralogistics industries, and — depending on the approach — can deliver a host of other valuable benefits as well. Scheduled preventative maintenance also minimizes downtime, improves operating efficiency, extends equipment lifespans, and reduces operating costs, and data-driven predictive maintenance does the same — but with greater impact— and additionally optimizes resources.
The extensive portfolio of RS PRO maintenance solutions satisfies the needs of reactive, preventative, and predictive maintenance approaches with products ranging from across-the-board essentials, like tools, to replaceable components, like batteries and fuses, and smart solutions, like sensors, that provide you with real-time insights into your equipment and processes and help you optimize your asset performance, futureproof your productivity, and find and fix faults before they become expensive failures.
RS PRO maintenance solutions also satisfy the needs of industrial MRO technicians in virtually every industry, offering rigorously tested quality and safety, reliable performance, versatility, cost savings without compromise, and convenience, including easy access, fast shipping, user-friendly installation, and expert technical support.
The RS PRO portfolio of industrial maintenance solutions contains thousands of ready, reliable, easy to buy, quick to ship, and hard to break MRO products designed to enable essential improvements and optimize MRO budgets and workflows, including more than:
- 4,700 connectors and other connectivity solutions that support the reliable transmission of power, signal, and data, ranging from terminals, lugs, and ferrules, M8 and M12 cordsets, and network and Ethernet cables to cable ties, cable trays, wire ducts, and raceways.
- 11,400 switches that enable the control of electronic devices and machinery, ranging from electrical switches that create or break electrical connections to allow or prevent the flow of current or data — including pushbutton switches, limit switches, float switches, disconnect switches, and emergency stop switches — to networking switches, like Ethernet switches, that connect multiple devices within a local area network (LAN).
- 10,300 fasteners designed to join various objects, ranging from screws, bolts, pins, nuts, and washers to retainer springs, circular clips, and stud mounts.
- 5,200 tools that make it safe, quick, easy to manipulate machinery, devices, and materials, ranging from screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches, wire strippers, hammers, files, chisels, cutters, and tweezers to measuring, power, and air tools.
- 4,200 relays that protect electrical systems and connected equipment from over-current and over-voltage conditions.
- 3,500 sensors that convert and transmit accurate, quantifiable data in real-time and enable remote monitoring, including proximity, photoelectric, pressure, and temperature sensors.
- 3,100 electronic and electrical enclosures engineered to protect your components and devices against a range of environmental hazards, including standing, wall-mounted, and compact handheld enclosures, as well as junction boxes.
- 1,100 test and measurement products that allow users to simulate input signals in the system or device under test for troubleshooting or validation purposes, ranging from test equipment accessories, meters, testers, thermometers, and oscilloscopes to signal generators, data loggers and acquisition systems, thermal imagers, calibrators, and analyzers.
- 1,000 fuses that protect electrical circuits from excessive current, preventing equipment damage and fire hazards.
- 900 batteries for primary and backup power.
- 800 warning, status and panel-mount indicators that visually communicate machine and process statuses.
- 40 DIN Rail Power Supplies that convert AC inputs into stable DC outputs to power industrial devices ranging from sensors to PLCs.
