In industry, resistors must operate reliably for many years under harsh environmental conditions. In addition to the permissible temperature range, chemical exposure represents a limitation on use. This refers to resistance to pollutants such as vapors, gases, coal dust, oil, or brake abrasion. Furthermore, to ensure reliable operation, the ingress of moisture and minute foreign particles must be prevented, and physical impacts such as vibrations or oscillations must not have a negative influence.
The REOhm resistors of the BW 15X series have been specifically designed for these environmental conditions. Their special design ensures maximum protection against mechanical, chemical, or biological influences, enabling high operational reliability and a long service life with simultaneously low-noise operation.
