Armature Stop

Armature stops are components found in relays and solenoids, which are part of the supply class "Relays And Solenoids" in the supply group "Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components."

An armature stop is a mechanical device that limits the movement of the armature in a relay or solenoid. It is designed to prevent the armature from moving beyond a certain point, ensuring proper operation and preventing damage to the device.

The armature is the moving part of a relay or solenoid that is attracted or repelled by the magnetic field generated by the coil. When the coil is energized, it creates a magnetic field that pulls the armature towards it, causing the contacts to close or open, depending on the design.

However, in some cases, it is necessary to limit the movement of the armature to a specific range. This is where the armature stop comes into play. It is typically a physical stopper or bumper that prevents the armature from moving beyond a certain point, ensuring that it stays within the desired range of motion.

Armature stops are important for maintaining the proper functioning of relays and solenoids. They help prevent excessive movement that could lead to mechanical failure or damage to the device. By limiting the range of motion, armature stops ensure that the contacts of the relay or solenoid are properly aligned and that the device operates reliably.

In summary, armature stops are mechanical devices used in relays and solenoids to limit the movement of the armature. They are part of the supply class "Relays And Solenoids" in the supply group "Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components."
