Relay solution is still simply the best Releco is the original and still the best fully featured relay brand available on the market today!

Neil Bailey Business Area Manager, Pressure and Flow

Welcome As the name suggests the Pressure & Flow business area supplies a broad range of instrumentation primarily concerned with the metering and control of liquids and gases.

Product ranges include pressure switches and sensors, temperature and force sensors, level control, solenoid valves, flow indicators, switches, sensors and a full range of Industrial DIN connectors and systems.

We represent in the UK some of the most respected European manufacturers in Industry. These include Suco for pressure control; Tecsis with their range of pressure, temperature and force instruments; Valco for level control and Honsberg, part of the GHM group, for flow products.

For many years Releco were pioneers and truly lead the way in the development of innovative industrial relay solutions. Many competitors have tried to imitate but some features are still unique. The product range remains one of the best available thanks to their enhanced features, worldwide approvals, high quality & long lifetime.

All sockets come complete with built in retaining clip Optional coil LED & built in suppression components Plug in timer module

Compact and low-maintenance The new SR060E generation of slip rings has been developed especially for the packaging industry.

Their smooth and straight surfaces allow easy cleaning and therefore meet the requirements of the food processing industry.

Thanks to innovative contact materials, a particularly long life is ensured with up to 500 million revelations. The new material also does not require any form of oiling unlike other slip rings on the market.

Slip rings are generally used for transmitting power, signals or data from a stationary to a rotating platform and are suitable in the following applications: • Packaging • Textile machinery • Robots and handling equipment • Video surveillance equipment (CCTV) • Bottling plants • Swivel table

Features: • Compact dimensions 60x98 mm • Power 240 V AC/DC 16 A, Signal 48 V AC/DC 2 A max • IP 64 • Lifetime 500 million revolutions • Transfer of the 3 power and 2 data

One size fits all The S50 series offers all optical functions within a standard M18 tubular housing, with all universal sensing functions of proximity, polarised retro reflex and through beam as well as the more advanced functions of background suppression, contrast and luminescence.

The S50 really is one housing for all applications. The setting is carried out either by potentiometer or using the patented EASY touchTM push-button teach system, which gives rapid and precise automatic setting of the switching points.

The performance, versatility and extensive optical sensing options, positions the S50 series as the new bench mark for customers focused on the evolution of technology and development of standards.

Record breaking power supply is reduced in size again!

This latest 10A rated 24Vdc power supply from Puls is setting new records in both efficiency and size.

When Puls first launched their Silverline series back in 1997 a 10A unit was 120mm wide. By 2005 the Dimension series was half that size at 60mm wide. Today the CP10 delivers the same power in a unit that is only 39mm wide!

By using the latest cutting edge technology and a sophisticated thermal design they have achieved an incredible, record breaking efficiency of 95.2%! This means less heat is generated allowing a smaller housing which leads to cost savings through lower energy consumption, increased component reliability and a much longer lifetime.

1997 120mm wide

2005 60mm wide

2015 39mm wide

Do you have a reliable cable screen connection?

In many industrial applications signal

interference immunity is often achieved through the use of screened/shielded cables. Good termination of the cable screen to ground is essential and this can be problematic to achieve using standard terminals or lugs!

With this in mind, Contaclip has developed a wide range of screen connection clips that offer a neat, reliable clamping system whilst maintaining a low resistance termination which is critical to keeping noise to a minimum.

Various mounting and connection options are available for cables up to 35mm and all provide a quick, easy, professional looking solution. The SAB series is the ideal choice for not only the energy sector, but in general industry where growing emc guidelines need to be adhered to.

Simple spring loaded clamps that are quick to terminate and available for mounting on bus bar, DIN rail or direct mount.
