Control Relays
Control relays are electrical devices that control and switch electrical circuits in industrial automation and control systems. These relays act as electromechanical switches, allowing a low-power control signal to control a higher-power circuit. Control relays are commonly used to control motors, solenoids, lights, and other electrical loads. They provide reliable and efficient control by isolating the control circuit from the higher-voltage or higher-current circuits. Control relays are available in various configurations, such as electromechanical and solid-state relays, offering different features and capabilities. They play a crucial role in automating processes, ensuring proper sequencing, and enhancing the safety and reliability of control systems.

Set to trip on either an increasing or decreasing control signal, the Mite 70 will vent one port to atmosphere while it locks up the pressure in a second line. The tripped position is then held indefinitely until the control signal is restored and a manual reset button is pushed. The trip point is adjustable from 1 to 100 psi with a simple screw stem. The Mite 70 can also be tripped on demand from a separate remote signal. Use the Mite 70 to open safety valves in emergency situations, trigger an alarm while locking up a valve or actuate diaphragm motor valves, air cylinders or other pneumatic actuators. The Mite 73 is similar in design and function to the Mite 70. A sensitive line monitoring diaphragm and up to four inputs allow even more versatility. When tripped by either an increasing or decreasing signal, one output is vented to atmosphere while the other is locked up. The Mite 73 can be tripped by remote and is also capable of being reset pneumatically for fully automated control.

The Mite 85 allows you to establish two adjustable trip points that control flow through a 3-way valve. An increasing signal that exceeds the high trip point will open “I†port to “Hâ€. A decreasing signal pressure that drops below the low trip point will vent port “Hâ€. This switching action is reversible and repeatable without having to manually reset. Use the Mite 85 to passively switch to a secondary controller in case the primary system fails.

High pass or low pass pneumatic selecting relay. The Super Mite 71 will automatically select the higher or lower of two pneumatic inputs and pass it downstream while blocking the other. Capable of almost instantaneous selection, the Super Mite 71 can separate pressure differentials as low as a tenth of a psi. Although ordered as either high or low pass, the Super Mite 71 can easily be converted in the field from one to the other. The Super Mite 71 can be relied on to open or close valves when a signal pressure drops or rises past a determined value. They can also be used to prevent a valve from opening or closing beyond a critical point.

FAQS
- A contactor is an electrically operated switch that opens and closes the power circuit to a motor. A motor starter is a contactor combined with an overload relay — the contactor handles switching while the overload relay monitors current and trips the circuit if the motor draws excessive current for a sustained period. A contactor alone provides no overload protection; pairing it with an overload relay creates a complete motor starter. For any motor application where protection against overheating and overload is required — which is nearly all of them — a full motor starter is the correct specification, not a bare contactor.
- A variable frequency drive controls motor speed by varying the frequency and voltage supplied to the motor. This allows precise speed adjustment throughout the operating cycle rather than simply switching the motor on and off at full speed. VFDs are the right choice when the process requires variable speed — conveyors, pumps, fans, compressors — or when energy savings are a priority, since reducing fan or pump speed even modestly cuts power consumption dramatically due to the cubic relationship between speed and power. They also provide smooth acceleration, reducing mechanical stress on couplings, belts, and driven equipment at startup.
- An overload relay protects a motor from damage caused by sustained overcurrent — the kind that occurs when a motor is overloaded, stalls, or loses a phase. It monitors motor current continuously and trips the circuit if current exceeds the motor's full-load rating for longer than the relay's time-delay allows. Without overload protection, a motor running in an overloaded condition will overheat, degrading winding insulation and eventually burning out the motor. Overload relays are available in thermal and electronic versions — electronic types offer more precise protection, adjustable trip classes, and diagnostic feedback, making them the preferred choice for critical or variable-load applications.
