Neuhaus Manipulator Has 250kg Lifting Capacity

The Profi 025 Ti hoist unit is equipped as a manipulator to facilitate single-handed operation for load lifting, lowering, positioning and manual traversing (when used with an overhead trolley). This unit has a lift capacity of 250kg at 6 bar air pressure, with a driving mechanism group M4 (1Am) designed for 800 hours operation at full load conditions.

The manipulator hoist features a hand controller that is permanently fitted adjacent to the lifting hook, ideally situated for where loads need to be moved with precision, positioned with accuracy and otherwise handled with total safety. The general rugged construction, combined with a drive mechanism which is insensitive to dust, humidity and environmental temperatures of -20C to +70C, means that the manipulator is suitable for heavy-duty operation.

Typical applications include foundries, sawmills and general industries. The compressed air power source, unlike conventional electric power, does not produce an ignition risk. The manipulator has an Ex rating II 2 GD IIA T4(X) / II 3 GD IIB T4(X) as standard for operation in hazardous areas. With increased spark protection also available (to explosion group IIC), operation in areas where there is a danger from combustible atmospheres can also be undertaken, which includes chemical plants, refineries, offshore and even pyrotechnics manufacture.

The Profi manipulator is strong, fast, compact and silent in operation, while designed for easy, lubrication-free operation with low maintenance. It offers a sensitive, infinitely variable lift/lower speed control, with an integrated emergency stop, and with load chain and hooks rated at five times the nominal load. A well-proven motor-brake system is utilised, with a fail-safe starting, low-maintenance vane motor designed for oil-free operation.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
