Cherry VN1015 Sensors Resist Moisture And Dust

ZF Electronics has introduced the Cherry VN1015 digital vane sensors, which are immune to moisture and dust. These digital sensors are magnetically operated, which means there are no mechanical contacts that can be worn out, ensuring extra-long product life and reliability. Models in the VN1015 series are available either with three-pin sink output or with 24 AWG terminations. They cope with operating and storage temperatures from -40C up to +125C, depending on the model.

VN1015 digital vane sensors have glass-filled polyester sensor bodies suitable for vane parameters with low-carbon material at least 0.040in (1.016mm) thick, which should penetrate to a depth greater than 0.120in from the bottom of the sensor slot. Open collector (sinking or NPN) outputs enable them to be used with bipolar or CMOS logic circuits with a suitable external pull-up resistor. Maximum operating speed is 25kHz. Reverse battery protection is provided to -24V DC.

Model VN101501 has a three-pin sink output with a maximum output current of 25mA. Operating voltage range is 4.5V DC to 24V DC connected to a supply current of 6mA (maximum). Operating temperature range is -40C to +85C. For higher operating and storage temperatures up to +125C, VN101502 sensors also have three-pin sink terminations and operate over a voltage range of 5V DC to 24V DC. Two three-wire sink models are available with three-wire flying lead terminations (24AWG x 150mm leads).

VN101503 has an operating voltage of 4.5V DC to 24V DC and is suitable for applications operating over a temperature range of -40C to +85C. For more extreme environments, VN101504 operates over a voltage range of 5.0V DC to 24V DC and withstands storage and operating temperatures of between -40C and +125C.

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.
