Fenner Publishes Power-Transmission Product Guide

The extended and revised 2010 edition of the Fenner Drive Design Manual is now available. The manual is an essential power-transmission reference tool for design and maintenance engineers. The latest version features more than 100 pages of new products and technical know-how, including many new energy-saving solutions. The 400-page manual is being issued free to customers globally, either direct from Fenner in the UK or via other approved distributors.

New to this year's product range are: Fenner FM series motors in both premium and standard efficiency; Fenner Plus roller chain and sprockets; the Fenner QD (Quickdrive) Inverters, which include: energy-saving HVAC inverters (QD:VT), high torque flux vector inverters (QD:CT Plus) and the QD:IP55 and QD:IP66 water- and dust-protected inverters for aggressive environments and wash-down applications. Other innovative new products include a high-shock, overload resistant, high-reduction cycloidal gearbox range.

The Fenner Cyclo is available in foot, flange and face-mount configurations and torque ratings up to 68,000Nm. A re-engineered Fenner Series F gearbox is also available, with up-rated bearings; combined seals and precision internals deliver a longer service life in harsh conditions and extended torque-range coverage. Also new this year are additions to the Fenner range of maintenance and installation tools, including an essential laser-alignment tool that allows the precise set-up of gearboxes, indirect open drives and many other power-transmission components, extending wear-life and improving operational efficiency.

In all, the Fenner Drive Design Manual extends to eight specific sections that all offer comprehensive product lists and specifications. Alongside the product information is detailed technical advice and reference material for the specification, fitting and maintenance of all these products. Section headings include: Chain Drives, Friction Belt Drives, Synchronous Belt Drives, Couplings, Shaft Fixings, Motors, Inverters and Gearboxes. Visit Fenner's website for a copy of the manual.

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.
