Safety Relay & Glass Relays

Safety relays are devices which generally implement protection functions. In the event of a hazard, the task of such a safety function is to use appropriate measures to reduce the existing risk to an acceptable level.

Notes :

If required, a ventilation hole can be made in the cover, reducing the protection type from IP67 to IP30.

If an outer contact (20) should weld, then the forced operated inner contact (12) driven by the actuator remains open. The rotating armature remains free to move. The unaffected contact pairs can operate normally, (i. e. their function to make or break remains unaffected).

If an inner contact should weld (12) then the movement of the rotating armature is blocked via the operator. Open contacts of all four contact pairs remain open. This arrangement corresponds to conventional, force-guided operation.
