Closed range


Heavy-duty safety switch manufacturer Katko has expanded its enclosed range for use when enhanced safety and security are needed.

The switches are rated to IP65 or IP66; IP67 versions are offered on request. Five entry points and large terminals allow simple cabling, while retrofit snap-on contacts enable upgrades without disturbance to the existing cables.

Smooth contact

Icore International has launched Band 8, a two-component contact band that provides a connection solution for high current applications.

Band 8 offers low resistance and insertion force. It is inserted between the mating components of a connector, where its sprung construction and high conductivity give a low contact resistance. This allows higher current ratings to be achieved with smaller connectors and reduced heat generation.

Safety switch

Euchner (UK) has introduced a range of safety switches for ATEX applications.

An extension of the firm's existing range, the new products share similar components, including actuation heads and actuators. The TZ or TP switches include guard locking; GP and NZ versions have no guard locking.

CES non-contact safety switches with uniquely coded actuators are also offered with ATEX approvals.

Energy drive

Yaskawa has launched a matrix converter ac drive.

The technology can reduce overall energy consumption in operations using variable speed drives. It generates a low level of harmonics - typically under 8% of the round wave. It is possible to arrange for drives to have a power factor close to unity, regardless of motor load.
