Relays with Forcibly Guided Contacts
Relays with forcibly guided contacts are specialized relays designed to provide an additional level of safety and reliability in safety-critical applications. These relays feature contacts that are mechanically linked or guided in such a way that ensures they move together and remain in the same position during operation. This design prevents the possibility of contacts becoming welded or stuck in a closed or open position, which could lead to unsafe conditions or system malfunctions. By maintaining the integrity of the contact arrangement, relays with forcibly guided contacts help ensure proper switching and prevent potential faults or failures. These relays are commonly used in applications where safety is paramount, such as safety shutdown systems, emergency stop circuits, and safety interlock systems in industrial machinery, elevators, and automotive systems. The use of relays with forcibly guided contacts adds an extra layer of reliability and helps meet stringent safety standards and regulations.
