ABB's complete range of safety components make protection systems easier to build. Designed for machine safety applications, AFS contactors come with fixed front auxiliary contact blocks, making them ideal for monitoring and controlling circuits. Mechanically linked and mirror contacts help make your system safer. A Safety and protection Safety in all things ABB's AFS contactors can be easily integrated in machine manufacturer's systems complying with main safety standards EN ISO 13849 and EN 62061 guaranteeing the safe use of your machinery and equipment. The AFS contactor range is an integral part of ABB's comprehensive range of safety products. CS? Continuous operation Secure uptime The AFS contactor secures system uptime. It allows direct control by safety PLCs or safety relays to ensure the safety performance customers require, for contactors up to 38 A. A low energy auxiliary contact guarantees PLC feedback. Speed up your projects Simplify design Perfect design makes integration easier. ABB's distinctive yellow auxiliary contact block makes identifying the right product quicker. By reducing the contactor coil's power consumption, panels can also be made smaller and transformers more compact. In addition, all the safety data for the contactors are readily available using safety design tools.

AFS CONTACTORS FOR SAFET Y APPLIC ATIONS — AFS contactors with front-mounted auxiliary contact blocks Dedicated for safety applications Easy safety chain identification The yellow housing of ABB’s AFS contactors makes identifying the safety product in your panel quicker. During routine maintenance work, ABB’s intuitive design saves valuable time. Prevent unexpected operations Front-mounted contact blocks are permanently fixed to protect devices against accidental misuse and operation. A factory-fitted transparent cover shields the contactor status indicator, providing additional protection. Simplify...

Control by safety PLCs or safety relays ABB’s AFS contactors can be controlled directly by safety PLCs or safety relays. The low energy auxiliary contacts feature a minimum switching capacity 12 V / 3 mA. They guarantee system status feedback, making the system safe and reliable. Fast response for increased safety With fast opening times less than 30 ms for selected variants, AFS09 ... AFS38 respond quickly when a dangerous failure is detected. Safety is enhanced and the safety distances of installations can be significantly shorter. Panel size reduction By reducing coil energy consumption by...
