Relays may appear as simple black boxes, but they are the silent conductors powering the complex operations of industrial vehicles. This speech will uncover the science and engineering behind these vital components, from the magnetic fields that drive their motion to the intense arcs that forge their connections. It will showcase a range of relays we supply, such as heavy-duty power relays for hydraulic pumps, miniature relays for power steering and weather-sealed units for harsh environments, demonstrating how each is meticulously designed to meet the rigorous demands of forklifts, trucks and other industrial vehicles. Discover why the relay is anything but ordinary.
