KG in Berg near Ravensburg offers two individual redundant normally closed contacts for the Emergency-Stop function and now also a normally open contact for localisation. This additional normally open contact of the RAFIX 22 FS Emergency-Stop Plus 1 is used, for example, to inform a monitor or additional s...

In a word, it is because Bestact has a very large switching capacity. Conventional reed switches have a switching capacity of only around 50VA(resistive) at the most. Consequently they frequently suffer from contact welding - due to the electrostatic storage (capacitive) capacity of long cable runs or contact sticking the inrush current of inductive loads, which is due to insufficient repulsive for...

Vouvry, Switzerland – March 1, 2009 A lot of limit switch applications are under harsh conditions or outdoor use, which may damage the switch and require a maintenance exchange. As the series MP700 limit switches are IP67 sealed, an exchange also implies changing the wiring. This could mean on outdoor equipment changing several meters of cable. In order to facilitate the maintenance, Microprecis...

For those who want to export machines and plant to the USA, there is often no way round the requirement for "NFPA 79" approval. This standard, which originated in the field of building construction prohibits the use of some AWM cables (UL Recognized) in machines. Due to the very high fire-resistance requirement, NFPA 79 restricts the selection of cable materials used to PVC. For this reason, ene...
