DC Contactor Relay

A contactor is an automatic switcher that is used to connect or disconnect the AC and DC main circuits or large-capacity control circuits with loads. The contactor is to control the motor and it is also used for other electrical loads, such as electric heaters, electric welding machines, lighting equipment. Contactors are very important device in industrial field, especially the high voltage DC contactors. They can not only connect and cut off the circuit, but also have a low voltage release protection.

The contactor has a large control capacity, is well suitable for frequent operation and long-distance control and is one of the important components in the automatic control system.

The DC contactor relay is generally used to control the DC electrical equipment. The coil is supplied with DC current. The working principle and structure of the DC contactor are basically the same as that of the AC contactor.

What is the working principle of a DC contactor? When the contactor coil is energized, a magnetic field will be generated by the coil current, which makes the static iron core generate electromagnetic attraction to attract the moving iron core and makes the contact act.

The normally closed contact is disconnected, the normally open contact is closed and both are linked. When the coil is powered off, the electromagnetic attraction disappears and the armature is released under the action of the release spring, so that the contacts are restored: the normally open contacts are disconnected and the normally closed contacts are closed.

Peaco Support DC contactors have a wide selection of current and coil voltages to choose, including 12V DC contactor, 24V DC contactor and 48V DC contactor.

Advantages of Brushless DC Motors

Brushless DC motor is one of synchronous motors, whose rotor speed is affected by the speed of the rotating magnetic field of its stator and the number of poles of the rotor. Brushless DC motors not only have a series of advantages of AC motors, such as simple structure, reliable operation and convenient maintenance but also have features such as high operating efficiency and good speed regulation performance of DC motors. The most important part of a brushless DC motor is its control structure, whose driver can control the rotor to maintain a certain speed, and its performance is more stable. Brushless DC motor is a low-power motor that uses electronic commutation and is widely used in modern production equipment, instrumentation and household appliances. Peaco Support brushless DC motors have many advantages. 1. High efficiency The efficiency of a traditional DC motor is generally about 75%, while the efficiency of a general brushless DC motor can reach more than 96%. With high effi...

Why My Torque Sensor Reading is Unstable?

Torque sensors often have unstable output signals during use. But the torque sensor testing is qualified after the production. What is the reason for this? In fact, there are many reasons for the unstable signal of the torque sensor during use and the common ones mainly include the following three aspects. The torque sensor is not installed properly and the axis is not parallel, which will cause the signal output to be unstable. The torque sensor is easy to be damaged if it is in this state for a long time. The power supply voltage is unstable. Our torque sensors are generally powered by a dual voltage of plus and minus 15V and 24V or other voltages. Unstable power supply voltage will also cause unstable output signals. Interference from other machines next to the torque sensor. For example, if there is a frequency converter next to the torque sensor, it is easy to cause the output signal to be unstable. The solution is to add a 1:1 isolation transformer in front of the power supply of...

Electric Linear Actuator

How does an electric linear actuator work? Here is the working principle of electric linear actuator. The electric motor drives a pair of screw nuts after gear deceleration. The rotary motion of the motor is turned into linear motion, and the actuator action is completed with the help of forward and reverse rotation of the motor. Such mechanisms can complete the rotation, shaking and other complex actions. By changing the length of the lever force arm, the stroke can be increased. Electric linear actuator is a general-purpose auxiliary drive device, which can be widely used in medical, furniture, home, electronics, electric power, machinery, metallurgy, transportation, mining, petroleum, chemical, lifting, transportation, construction, grain and feed processing and other industries. The linear actuator features energy-saving and environmental protection, reliable performance, sensitive action, smooth operation, same push and pull force, good environmental adaptability, etc. Additional...
