Since Bestact, a hermetically sealed glass contat power reed switch, was placed in service over 15 million have been used worldwide in rolling stocks, electric power equipment, elevators and control devices in the steel industry. Their adoption in 1982 by Japanese National Railways for Shinkansen "Bullet" trains, it has grown along with the success of the trains themselves, and is exclusively used ...

Currently the smallest Reed Switch with terminal leads in the world is now available from MEDER electronic. A glass length of only 4mm makes the KSK-1A04 Series the smallest Reed Switch with terminal leads presently on the market. Its flat contact terminals make it suitable for all SMD layouts and for automatic assembly. Typical applications for this Reed Switch are contactless sensors for po...

Schaltbau snap-action switches have made themselves a name through wide-spread recognition of their suitability for all safety-related applications. This is due to the special switch design. It ensures high operational reliability under severe conditions. The new mini sized S880 is as well equipped, technically, as its big brothers. It features the same wiping contacts and the same mechanism that f...

The company Georg Schlegel has now complemented their design awarded series Rontron-R-Juwel by integrated USB and RJ45 panel jacks. These are ideal for mounting in panels and enclosures, especially in cases where the quality demands for design and technology are high. Together with the stylish protection caps out of the Schlegel product range, an IP67 assembly can be realized. The standard produ...

The comprehensive range of Schlegel emergency stops has been expanded by two monobloc emergency stops with integrated contact blocks for mounting diameter 22,3mm. They require only a mounting depth of 0.9 mm behind the panel; the actuator is compact and elegant although large enough to ensure quick and safe operation. Due to the special design of mushroom and housing, a blocking of the button, e....

Belt-alignment switches are integrated in many bulk goods conveyors as important and easy-to-install monitoring systems. A roller connected to a switch sweeps the conveyor belt. If the conveyor belt is off-track, the roller will be moved sideways, actuating the switching element of the alignment switch. A warning signal can then be transmitted to a control room, for example; or the belt can be swit...

Dust, frost, damp and severe mechanical wear and tear: extreme conditions confronting switching devices used in the raw materials and extraction industries. Examples are conveyor and processing plants in quarries or the recycling industry. Here explosion protection requirements often need to be met, too, with organic dust becoming explosive in a certain ratio to atmospheric oxygen. For all these re...
