Yaskawa Electric HI-12E AC Magnetic Contactor 18 Amp CNC machines HI12E

Description:

The Yaskawa HI-12E is an AC magnetic contactor designed for switching electrical loads in industrial control systems, including CNC machines such as Mori Seiki equipment. It is rated for up to 18 amps and is used to control power to motors, transformers, and other electrical devices through electromagnetic actuation. The contactor operates by energizing a coil that closes or opens the main contacts, enabling reliable remote switching and protection within control circuits.

Applications:

The Yaskawa HI-12E contactor is commonly used in CNC machinery, industrial automation systems, and motor control circuits where reliable switching of moderate electrical loads is required. Typical uses include spindle motors, coolant pumps, auxiliary equipment, and control panel switching. It is primarily used today for maintenance or replacement in legacy systems.
