1. The role of the armature


The Relay Armature is a very important component of the electromagnetic relay. Its role is to convert the electromagnetic force generated in the electromagnetic relay coil into mechanical power. When the coil of the electromagnetic relay is energized, a magnetic field will be generated around the coil. The magnetic field acts on the armature, causing the armature to generate magnetic attraction, thereby completing the action of opening and closing the contacts.

2. The principle of the armature


The principle of the Relay Terminal Armature is based on the principles of magnetism and mechanics. When the coil of the electromagnetic relay is energized, the magnetic field generated by the coil will act on the armature to generate magnetization, forming a magnetic core. Since the magnetic lines of force have a magnetic path, when the coil is energized, the magnetic lines of force on the armature will flow along the path, adsorbing the armature on the electromagnetic core, and generating mechanical power at the same time, causing the armature to perform the closing or disconnecting action of the contacts.

 

The material of the Electrician Pure Iron Armature is usually a ferromagnetic material with high magnetic permeability and magnetic saturation strength, such as ferrite, silicon steel plate, etc. In addition, the shape and size of the armature will also affect its mechanical and electromagnetic properties. Common armature shapes include U-type, H-type, C-type, etc., and their size also needs to be designed according to the requirements of the electromagnetic relay.

Conclusion


The Armature Plate Terminal in the electromagnetic relay plays an important role in converting electromagnetic force into mechanical power and is the guarantee of the reliability and stability of the electromagnetic relay. By selecting and designing the material and size of the armature, the purpose of meeting the action requirements of the electromagnetic relay can be achieved.
