Electromechanical
Electrical Components
SolenoidsElectromagnetic devices that generate linear motion or force when an electrical current passes through them. Used in applications like door locks, valves, and automotive systems.
Relays
Electromechanical switches that use an electromagnetic coil to control the switching of electrical circuits. Commonly used for automation, control systems, and power distribution.
Switches
- Toggle Switches: Mechanical switches with a lever for manual control.
- Pushbutton Switches: Activated by pushing a button.
- Limit Switches: Activated by the motion of an object or machine part.
Convert electrical signals into audible sound. Found in alarms, electronic devices, and communication systems.
Electromagnetic Locks
Locking systems that use an electromagnet to control the locking mechanism. Commonly used in access control and security applications.
Contactors
Used in electrical systems to control the power flow to electrical loads. It is essentially a high-capacity relay that is designed for switching electric power circuits. Contactors are commonly used in various applications, including industrial machinery, HVAC systems, lighting controls, and more.
