Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0860848A2] An electromagnetic safety relay (90) comprising a coil (10) wound about a core, a metal frame (20), a movable armature (30) secured to the frame (20) and used to operate an assembly of contact carrier strips (50) consisting of fixed strips (5F) and mobile strips (5M), an actuator (40) guiding the movement of the strips (50), and a return spring (80) positioned below the frame (20) such that the system of active forces (given by the movable armature (30)) and of reactive forces (given by the return spring (80)) is asymmetric, ie is applied on the same side of the actuator (40). This constructional arrangement enables the fixed contact carrier strips (5F) to be given sufficient rigidity and enables a single compact and robust actuator model (40) to be used for the various configurations of the electrical contacts (70) of the relay (90). Moreover, differential malfunctions between the two sides of the assembly of electrical contacts (70) are prevented and it becomes possible to determine and indicate anomalies in the case of breakage of the actuator (40) with the relay (90) energized. <IMAGE>
