Meet your needs with the expanding IEC terminal block product portfolio
High current, neutral disconnect and installation, colored push-in style center-jumpers, and inter-linked terminal block markers designed to meet your needs.
High performance in compact packages
Two new frame sizes are the latest addition to the industry-leading small frame MP-series low inertia motors product line, extending the product family by offering the same high performance in a more compact package size, and yielding a scalable solution and platform upon which to standardize your machines.
Reduce installation time with 1492 in-panel wiring systems for PowerFlex® 700H and 700S Drive control I/O
The interface capability of the bulletin 1492 in-panel wiring system has been enhanced to include the control I/O of the PowerFlex 700H and 700S drives in addition to the modular PLC I/O platforms.
Simplify installation with laser measurement sensors
Recognizing the importance of flexibility and value in your control system, Rockwell Automation continues to introduce new sensors that help make installations simpler while addressing your evolving needs. The new Allen-Bradley 45BPD and 45BRD photoelectric sensors are intended for industrial applications requiring reliable non-contact inspection.
Just the right limit switch for tight applications
Rugged and reliable 802B precision limit switches fit perfectly in tight applications. With three body styles and over thirty actuator types, there’s a switch for almost any application. LED indicators, quick disconnect connectors, and various mounting options are all available.
Improve connectivity with 1203-USB converter available
Get direct USB connectivity between a computer and any Allen-Bradley product implementing DPI™ (PowerFlex 7-Class drives), DSI™ (PowerFlex 4-Class drives), and SCANport™ (1305 drives, 1336 drives, etc.) The USB Converter can be used in virtually any type of system that uses drives, and requires direct plug-and-play USB connectivity, interoperability between drive protocols or drive communication networks, and ease-of-use for customers in virtually any type of industry.
