Proximity switch
Proximity switches (inductive, optical or capacitive) change their switching state when bodies or liquids approach. They are predominantly equipped with semiconductor outputs.
Rated voltage
The rated voltage of a relay is the voltage for which the winding, including additional built-in components, is rated and designated and to which the other characteristics refer.
Emergency stop
Emergency stop is switching off the corresponding energy supply with electromechanical switching devices (stop category 0). If stop category 0 is not permissible for the machine, other measures...
Emergency stop device
