C&K Expands Soft Feedback Tact Switch Family with Ultra-Low Sound Version
Ideal for automotive interiors, the TLS Series tact switch combines low sound with soft feedback.
Ideal for automotive interiors, the TLS Series tact switch combines low sound with soft feedback.
More transducers and switches have been added to the AutomationDirect sensors lineup. ATCH series adaptive true RMS current transducers ($169.00) are designed to monitor electric heat zero-crossing burst fired SCR controllers. These transducers provide faster response than temperature sensors and are a simplified method to monitor pulsed waveforms and are ideal for electrical heater applications.
The operating mode selection and access permission system PITmode combines safety and security functions in one system. The devices enable functionally safe operating mode selection and the control of access permissions on plant and machinery. PITmode devices can be used on plant and machinery in which you must switch between a range of control sequences and operating modes. Each employee can be issued machine enables and permissions that correspond to his or her skills using coded transponder keys with RFID technology.
USDK656 is a modern signal & power slip ring system, using Mersen premium carbon brush grades to transmit signal, data and power. Mersen premium carbon grades are based on tribological experience with low wear rate, which translates to less dusting, reliable data transfer, power and extended life of the component.
Designed for automotive applications, the sealed ZMW Series snap-acting switch from C&K features a long stroke for highly reliable actuation.
Timing relays are used in automation technology in order to compensate for errors caused by high clock rates. Short pulses are extended and are reliably identified by downstream control components. Various timing functions such as switch on and off delays, clock generator, and star/delta switch are available to users.
ABB has recently announced the release of a new digital switchgear portfolio that offers a significant reduction in total cost of ownership as compared to conventional switchgear. Additionally, there are specific advantages in terms of safety, space savings, simplicity of design and increased flexibility in protection and control. ABB is a manufacturer of UL certified ANSI digital switchgear.
In cooperation with aconno GmbH, the Schmersal Group has developed prototypes of an Industry 4.0 switch capable of wireless data transmission over distances of several kilometres for use with extended conveyor systems. The integrated wireless transmitter in the HDS series switches transmits status data for each individual switchgear unit via a common wireless mesh network to a cloud system. The prototypes are currently undergoing practical tests.
The C&K ATP Family is a series of high-strength and lightweight switches which are designed to withstand attempts at tampering and abuse, whether that is intended physical attack or accidental impact. The IP67 rating guarantees they’ll survive dusty and wet conditions, while the IK10 rated actuators with stainless steel or aluminum alloy housing ensures they’re highly resilient to vandalism.
CARLO GAVAZZI has recently launched the RM1D Series, a comprehensive family of DC switching solid state relays. The RM1D Series is designed for applications that demand critical response times, rapid cycling, and high reliability. They are ideal for use in transportation, off-grid and renewable energy systems that run off batteries, as well as DC heaters, solenoids, valves, fans, and other equipment that requires DC switching.
As the big brother of the safety switch PSENmech, the safe mechanical safety gate system PSENmech with guard locking offers an economical solution for safe monitoring of movable guards. The safety gate is securely locked until the hazardous machine movement has stopped. Any unintended restart of the hazardous movement is prevented.
WAGO adds two new switches that are tailored to substation automation to its growing product range. The 852-1505/000-001 Switches are designed for “Power over ETHERNET” (PoE), which provides power supply and data transfer together through just one ETHERNET cable. This streamlined wiring configuration offers significant potential savings for installation and operating costs while taking up significantly less space.
Rockwell Automation has recently introduced an updated version of its Industrial Data Center (IDC). The latest generation IDC offers increased physical security with the addition of a badge scanner to the front and back door for monitored access. A new switch platform also helps improve reliability and maintainability.
Designed for harsh applications, the sealed ZMW Series snap-acting switch features a long stroke for highly reliable actuation.
Introducing the iSmart Intelligent Relay from IMO, a new relay system used for several applications.
Automation engineers can create leaner, more efficient applications with the new FL SWITCH 1000 family. Phoenix Contact has added a new series of unmanaged switches with a compact form factor, gigabit speeds, automation protocol traffic prioritization, and flexible installation options.
