Walter Reduces Cost Of Thread Machining Tools

Walter GB is offering the Twin Force combination of Titex drilling and Prototyp tapping as a tooling package for thread generation at a specially reduced price. The Walter Titex X-Treme Plus drill provides machining of up to five times diameter on steel, cast iron, stainless and non-ferrous materials, with an internal coolant supply coupled with Walter Titex's Double Performance Line (DPL) double coating.

Comprising a basic coating to protect the tool and to optimise the adhesion of the special tip coating, the DPL technology enables the tool to operate at greater cutting speeds than usual while offering extended tool life at conventional cutting parameters. This is complemented by any one of three Walter Prototyp taps. The Prototyp Eco-HT tap is a universal HSS-E-PM tap with THL coating and surface treatment, capable of operation at three times diameter for use in both short and long chipping materials.

It offers process reliability without bird nesting and long tool life even at maximum cutting speeds. Prototex Eco-HT has a spiral point form for through-hole thread generation. Paradur Eco-HT has an R45 helix angle, chamfer form C, bevelled thread run-out and long flutes for blind hole threading. Walter GB is providing the off-the-shelf kits for blind and through holes - each equipped with a Titex X-Treme Plus drill and two Prototyp taps - in a range of sizes to suit varying applications.

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.
