Static Control - Newson Gale Products

As illustrated in the image below, our static control products are divided into three flexible product categories that are specified for customers depending on the required level of control over static hazards:

- Cen Stat 
- Bond Rite
- Earth Rite 

Cen-Stat products provide entry-level control over static hazards and are ideal for hazardous area operators who need to rely on small clips or earthing clamps. Cen-Stat products are single circuit applications which require high strength mechanical circuits to dissipate the electrostatic charge from various equipment.

Newson Gale’s range of Cen Stat products are pole clamps, earthing clamps, cables, reels and various types of testing equipment which are all FM & ATEX certified. If you would like to read more about Cen-Stat products, click here.

Bond-Rite products are self testing earthing clamps with green flashing LEDs which confirm positive connection to equipment. These products offer a higher level of static control and are perfect for applications where no control switches or PLCs are available for output contacts. Using Newson-Gale’s Bond Rite range of products offers a high level of safety when working with applications which have the potential to create static electricity hazards.

Earth-Rite products offer maximized level of static control because they are ground monitoring systems with interlocking control for manufacturing processes which can generate static hazards. Earth Rite products are suitable for flammable or combustible environments where there is a real danger of conductive plant equipment or materials which can be charged with static electricity. If you would like to read more about Newson-Gale's range of Earth-Rite products, please click here.

Depending on the country specification, our equipment carries ATEX, FM, IECEx and CSA hazardous area approvals and certifications and are fully compliant with internationally recognised Best Practice standards for controlling static electricity.  Functional Safety is also assured to SIL2 Safety Integrity Level.
