Rotary Relay
Item Name Code (INC) 03890
 |
A relay whose contact arm may rotate through 360 degrees but not in one operation. Includes rotary relays which automatically reset. For an item having the dual functions of a switch and a relay assembled together on a common mounting, see RELAY-SWITCH. Excludes SWITCH, ROTARY; SWITCH, STEPPING; and SWITCH, TELEPHONE (as modified).
Additional Information for Rotary Relay
Rotary relays are a type of relay that use a rotating mechanism to switch electrical circuits on and off. They are commonly used in applications where multiple circuits need to be controlled or switched simultaneously.
Rotary relays consist of a rotor, which is a rotating part that carries the electrical contacts, and a stator, which is a stationary part that houses the coil and provides the magnetic field. When the coil is energized, it creates a magnetic field that attracts the rotor, causing it to rotate and make contact with the appropriate terminals.
These relays are often used in industrial automation, control systems, and electrical distribution panels. They are known for their durability, reliability, and ability to handle high currents and voltages. Rotary relays can be found in various configurations, including single-pole, double-pole, and multi-pole versions, depending on the specific application requirements.
In summary, rotary relays are a type of relay that use a rotating mechanism to switch electrical circuits. They are commonly used in industrial applications and are known for their durability and reliability.
