7S Series, Safety Relays

The safety relay category comprises a range of device types that provide enhanced safety features or accommodate human safety concerns in some way. This category includes several standard relay types with force-guided contacts, industrial automation safety relay products that offer verification of contact state, and relays specifically designed to facilitate electrical interfacing between hazardous and non-hazardous areas within a working environment. Standard relay types with force-guided contacts are designed with a specific mechanism that ensures the safety of human operators. These relays have contacts that are linked together mechanically so that they move in unison. This ensures that all contacts either open or close simultaneously, preventing any hazardous situations that may arise from partial contact switching. Industrial automation safety relay products are designed to verify the contact state of the switching device accurately. These relays can detect faults in the switching device's contact state and respond accordingly, ensuring that the system is safe and reliable. Relays designed to accommodate electrical interfacing between hazardous and non-hazardous areas within a working environment are essential for ensuring worker safety. These relays allow for the safe transfer of electrical signals or power between areas with different levels of hazard. This helps prevent accidents caused by electrical shorts or sparking, which could lead to fires or explosions in potentially flammable or explosive atmospheres. As a result, safety relays are commonly used in various industries where safety is a top priority, such as manufacturing, mining, and oil and gas production. They are also used in other applications where human safety is paramount, such as medical devices or transportation systems. In summary, products in the safety relay category comprise a range of device types that provide enhanced safety features or accommodate human safety concerns. These include standard relay types with force-guided contacts, industrial automation safety relay products that offer contact state verification, and relays designed to facilitate electrical interfacing between hazardous and non-hazardous areas in a working environment. Safety relays find widespread use in various industries where safety is a top priority and in other applications where human safety is paramount.
