Discover unparalleled benefits when adopting the Omron K8 series of precision measuring and monitoring relays for protecting motors and transformers. Meticulously crafted for motor protection, temperature monitoring, and liquid control, they provide robust solutions for diverse industrial applications.
Superior Protection with Omron K8 Series
The Omron K8 series monitoring relays offer an extensive array of benefits for equipment protection, including:
- Detecting overcurrent and undercurrent (single-phase)
- Identifying phase-loss
- Monitoring overvoltage and undervoltage
- Ensuring over temperature and phase-sequence detection
- Addressing voltage asymmetry conditions
With over twenty-five devices in the range, control panel builders can enjoy a unified range of coordinated products. Options include the K8AK for standard needs, the K8DS for cost efficiency, and the K8DT compact models for enhanced space savings.
Adding real value for control system builders
Challenges facing control systems builders include meeting tight deliveries, dealing with multiple component suppliers, and price competition. Adopting new products, wiring techniques and technologies in control panel design can significantly streamline the manufacturing process, resulting in a major leap forward in efficiency.
This not only benefits panel builders but also the end users or machine builders by enhancing production facility performance. According to Omron customers, they see up to 20% faster wiring, 30% faster construction time, and 20% reduction in panel sizes. Furthermore, they also saw reductions of up to 25% in machine development time.
Designed for harmony: The Value Design Panel Concept
Omron’s Value Design Panel concept creates new value for control panel customers through standardised specifications for products used within control panels. Combining many products that share this concept further amplifies the value provided. Moreover, the harmonised offering provides solutions for equipment protection and safety while meeting global standards.
Space-Saving Solutions
The K8 series enables side-by-side mounting due to reduced power consumption and minimal heat generation, even at ambient temperatures of 55°C. This efficient design allows the mounting of more devices in the same control panel space, enhancing functionality without wasting space.
Improved Airflow
When compared with relays from assorted makers, components with a uniform height improve airflow to help heat dissipation. Temperature management increases product reliability, decreases failure rates, and prolongs the life expectancy of the equipment. Additionally, it reduces the dead space above and below the relays for more compact control panel designs.
Faster Cabling with Push-In Plus Technology
Omron K8 series Push-In Plus technology simplifies wiring using reliable cable insertion to reduce the time and effort required for wiring. The terminal mechanism design holds the screwdriver in place, allowing the installer to use both hands to insert the front-facing cable entry point.
Despite the lower insertion force needed, the clamps hold the cables securely in place. Omron’s advanced mechanism design ensures high pull-out force while the clamp spring pressure keeps the ferrule or wire secure. Thus, eliminating issues related to screws loosening from vibration and heating. Wiring is possible with stranded and solid wires, as well as with ferrules, and all cable entries face forward for easy insertion and release.
Vibration Resistance
Using Push-In Plus technology terminals, you can construct robust control panels capable of withstanding vibrations during both shipping and operation. This innovation ensures durability and reliability.
