Transportation
Maintaining your facilities and keeping you on the move.
Key needs for Transportation Industry
Often operating in harsh environments, the transportation industry covers many sectors including Rail, Automotive and Aerospace, but generally have common maintenance requirements for your facilities to keep your transport on the move.
• Managing costs and efficiencies in inventory – maintaining your infrastructure across multiple sites, with a wide variety of machinery can be expensive. RS can help improve your efficiency and inventory costs through our vast stocked range and fast delivery services.
• Energy management – knowing how much energy is being consumed by different parts of your processes will enable efficiency to be implemented. At RS we can provide both the products to monitor the consumption from power meters and data loggers, to comprehensive energy efficient solutions such as IE3 motors, variable speed drives and low energy lighting.
• Reducing downtime – unplanned downtime due to equipment failure can be very costly in terms of both lost time and meeting service levels. To ensure reliable services it’s essential that preventative maintenance is carried out at the optimum time.
Rail Industry
The rail industry operates in harsh and demanding environments, so not only do the products need to be highly reliable and to a high quality standard, but safety is also a priority for both the products, as often they are installed in confined spaces (which therefore means they may need to adhere to specific regulations), but also personal safety due to the hazardous nature of the industry.
Safety Interlock Switches & Components
Machine guarding accessories are all the component parts and extras that are used in the effective protection of equipment and personnel. Machine guarding provides the first line of defence when it comes to worker safety.
Power Relays
Power relays are a type of switch used within PCBs to open or close the circuit. Power relays are designed to handle higher voltages and higher currents. However, they can also be used with low voltages too.
Circular Connectors
Circular connectors are made of multi-pin interconnects paired with cylindrical housing containing a contact interface. They can be made of plastic, metal, or a combination of both.
Coated Conduit - Low Fire Hazard (LFH)
LFHU conduit is helically wound flexible steel conduit with a black Low Fire Hazard (LFH) coating. Typical applications include public and commercial buildings and tunnels. This low fire hazard conduit is approved by Lloyds Register and the UK London underground transport system.

Automotive Industry
Today’s automotive production industry is highly automated and very complex, with each vehicle leaving the production line having thousands of customised possibilities, so no two vehicles are the same. It is essential the production is kept running and operating smoothly at all times, as any hold-up or unexpected down-time would cause a high financial impact. At RS we stock a huge range of high quality and reliable products that can help maintain your facilities from automation products.

Proximity Sensors
A proximity sensor is a component which is designed to detect the absence or presence of an object without the need for physical contact. They are non-contact devices, highly useful for working with delicate or unstable objects.
Safety Interlock Switches
Safety rated interlock switches are safeguarding measures designed to improve safety in situations where guards or gates are used around hazardous machinery or equipment.
Motion Control Sensors
Motion Control Sensors, also known as Position Sensors or Rotary Encoders, detect movement from a nearby object and return an electrical signal to the detector which converts it into a readable signal for digital devices.

LED Bulbs
LED bulbs are frequently used in domestic, commercial and industrial areas as they are much more reliable than halogen, filament or incandescent lamps. LED light bulbs on average use 90% less power compared to incandescent bulbs as LEDs are more efficient in converting energy into light.
Coaxial Cable
Coaxial cables are a type of electrical cable that has an inner conductor surrounded by a tubular insulating layer, surrounded by a tubular conducting shield. Coax cables are durable, easy to install and are designed to carry signals over long distances.
Signal Conditioners
A signal conditioner is a device that converts one type of electronic signal into another type of signal, to prepare it for processing. Signal conditioners are used to convert a signal that may be difficult to read by conventional instrumentation.
