Brown And Holmes To Showcase Forkardt Chuck Ranges

Brown And Holmesis to launch three Forkardt chuck ranges at Mach 2010: the tool grind chuck; diaphragm chucks and the high-precision chucking system. The Forkardt 6TGC precision tool grind chucks are said to be ideal for any tool-grinding or hard-turning operation that requires both a wide gripping range and micrometer accuracy. As well as incorporating a highly precise blade arbor with clamping fingers and axial fixed-end stop, an internal air purge system eliminates contamination, the company said.

The pneumatically operated 6VMCHP high-precision diaphragm chucks are designed for a range of grinding applications. Workpieces can be gripped with both high precision and a cyclic testing repetition accuracy of <=0.002mm as the retracting effect of the diaphragm pulls workpieces back on the end stop. The retractable, compensating 3OVEKAV 180 high-precision chucking system is said to be ideal for use when hard turning and grinding takes place on the same machine.

Hydraulically front-end actuated with a 35mm axial chuck retraction, it offers a gripping force of up to 2000daN and a maximum clamping pressure of 50 bar. Brown and Holmes will also showcase a full selection of Forkardt standard and special rotary power chucks, expanding mandrels and steady rest packages available. There will also be information on the technical support and installation services on offer from Brown and Holmes to help with incorporation or retrofitting of any of the components.

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.
