“Electromechanics for tomorrow’s world” is the motto of the Schaltbau GmbH presentation at the Hanover Trade Fair. The main emphasis is on the generation of energy from renewable sources, electro-mobility and automation for special requirements. For more information visit Hall 11, Stand D27 at the Fair, or www.schaltbau-gmbh.com.
The railway sector and floor conveyor technology have been banking on Schaltbau products for years now. But the battery contactors and charging connections in particular are also suitable for electro-mobility on the road. A further field of application for Schaltbau products is renewable energy. There is already a snap-action switch installed in the brakes of a wind park. Contactors are used in central power inverters in photovoltaic power stations. The third theme at the Hanover Fair is automation. Schaltbau products are used particularly in situations in which the safety level of a plant is high, or the operating conditions are very rugged. This includes extremes of temperature, under-water applications and very dusty surroundings. The S850 double NC snap-action switch, for instance, meets the requirements of the new Machine Directive 2006/42/EC, which came into force at the end of 2009. Plug connectors by Schaltbau, such as the DN series and the M1 Plus, are particularly suitable for use in rugged conditions. Appropriately, the M1 is installed in a sewage plant.
