The Pilz PSSU BS-R 2/8 C (part number 312655) is a robust component within the Pilz I/O systems portfolio, designed to deliver reliability, stability, and safety for industrial automation applications. Engineered with high-quality materials and thoughtful construction, this unit ensures long-term performance even in demanding operating conditions.

The housing of the PSSU BS-R 2/8 C has been specifically developed to withstand the stresses of industrial environments. Its lower section is manufactured from polyamide (PA), a material renowned for its toughness, dimensional stability, and resistance to wear. The upper part is constructed from polycarbonate (PC), which offers superior impact resistance and a high degree of electrical insulation. Together, these materials provide a durable and safe enclosure that safeguards the electronic components within, ensuring reliability over an extended service life.

Connection integrity is another core strength of this unit. The cage clamp terminal design provides secure, maintenance-free connections that are resistant to loosening under vibration or mechanical stress. This ensures stable operation across a wide range of applications, from machine automation to process control. The fixed terminal style further enhances reliability by eliminating moving parts within the terminal design, thereby reducing the risk of connection failures or the need for frequent adjustments.

With a height dimension of 129 mm, the PSSU BS-R 2/8 C is compact enough for efficient use of space within control cabinets, making it suitable for installations where optimisation of layout and wiring is a priority. Despite its modest size, the unit is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of safety-critical systems, reflecting Pilz’s longstanding expertise in automation safety and control.

This part is particularly well-suited for applications where dependable signal handling and robust mechanical design are essential. Whether integrated into modular control systems, decentralised I/O architectures, or safety-oriented installations, the PSSU BS-R 2/8 C delivers consistent performance. It supports streamlined wiring practices, lowers the risk of downtime caused by poor connections, and ensures compliance with high standards of industrial safety.

In summary, the Pilz PSSU BS-R 2/8 C is a reliable and durable component that combines rugged housing materials, secure connection technology, and a compact form factor. These attributes make it a practical choice for engineers and system designers seeking dependable I/O system solutions that align with both performance and safety requirements.
