Fuji Electric Co., Ltd.
Release of SK Series Magnetic Contactors and Magnetic Switches
Fuji Electric Co., Ltd., announces today that its subsidiary, Fuji Electric FA Components & Systems Co., Ltd., is releasing the newly designed SK series of magnetic contactors and magnetic switches.
1. Objective
Demand is growing for increasingly compact and less energy-consuming magnetic contactors and magnetic switches, which are integrated in smaller, energy-efficient industrial-use machinery and other types of equipment.
In response, Fuji Electric substantially revamped the design of its magnetic contactors and magnetic switches for the new SK series. Enhancements include the adoption of small-sized actuators, for developing products that are the smallest and lightest in the industry and achieve low power consumption. Furthermore, Fuji Electric has developed the series with specifications compatible with global standards, in response to customers that are expanding operations over the world.
