Eaton introduces Push-in technology on PKZ motor protection switches and DIL contactors

Eaton's full range of motor protection switches, contactors and motor starter combinations has been expanded to include a portfolio of components with Push-in connections. Current formats have been taken into account by keeping the new range almost identical in size. The new range therefore offers nothing but advantages.

Advantages Push-In technology

The ever-evolving automation within the industrial sector is giving the trend towards Push-in connections an extra boost through automated wiring systems.

Push-in technology also makes it possible to wire manually, without tools. It offers 50% time savings in connection time compared to screw terminals and 40% time savings in connection time compared to spring terminals. It also provides more reliable and vibration-resistant connections.

Advantages that make Eaton's PKZ/DIL with Push-in technology so special

While the integration of Push-in technology in many products often comes at the expense of component compactness, Eaton's new PKZ/DIL Push-in components remain small and compact. The contactors even have an identical footprint to the models with screw terminals.

A combined Push-in/screw solution is also available with the PKZ motor circuit breakers, for use with a comb rail on the power supply side. That said, all the old accessories from the older models can be connected to the new models with Push-in technology.

Finally, all components enjoy IEC & UL/CSA certification (UL Type E) for worldwide use.

All the advantages of PKZ/DIL with Push-in technology at a glance

1) Tools are no longer required for the installation of the components.
2) You save 40% to 50% of your wiring time.
3) The components enjoy IEC & UL/CSA certification (UL Type E).
4) The Push-in connection ensures 100% reliable and vibration-free connections without the need for extra work after transport.
5) Kamrails can supply the various motor protection switches.
6) Contactors with Push-in technology have 1:1 the same footprint as those with screw terminals.

Siemens SIPLUS

The availability of machines and plants is a basic requirement for productivity. In order to minimize unplanned downtimes, it is necessary to detect the sources of error at an early stage. This is exactly where SIPLUS CMS Condition Monitoring Systems come in: they continuously monitor the condition of mechanical components of your machines – even throughout the entire plant. SIPLUS CMS therefore represents an important step toward the digital factory, where all the players including machines, products and people along the value chain will be networked. SIPLUS CMS working together with MindSphere – the cloud-based, open IoT operating system from Siemens – opens up completely new possibilities. The powerful cloud platform is designed for analyzing large quantities of data and enables machine parks all over the world to be monitored for service purposes in order to reduce their downtimes.

Phoenix Contact Axioline

The modular station communicates with a PROFINET controller, e.g., a distributed control system, via a bus coupler. As an option, up to eight PROFIBUS PA segments can be connected to the individual proxy outlets in a compact way. To ensure the individual segments are immune to interference, appropriate shield connection technology is available.
