Roller Chain Features Reduced Wear And Elongation

Tsubaki has released the GT4 Winner, a fourth-generation BS/DIN standard roller chain. Tsubaki has reduced wear and chain elongation over a longer period of time - even for a standard drive roller chain. Tsubaki's BS/DIN series roller chain utilises a new production technique to manufacture a seamless bush with grooves incorporated on the inner surface.

The lube-grooved (LG) bush holds oil at the point of contact, where the chain needs it most, providing an internal reservoir for lubricant. The result is a chain that lasts longer, with lower maintenance costs over its lifetime. The Tsubaki BS/DIN series chain has a seamless bush with a precise cylindrical profile and surface finish, resulting in better surface contact between the pin and bush, along with improved lubricant retention.

The chain is easily disassembled and, in the event of the chain being overloaded, the markings on the rivet head identify pin rotation. The Ring Coined connecting link allows the chain to be specified up to its full kW rating. The typical standard slip-fit connecting link is usually much weaker than the other links. Tsubaki's Ring Coin technology has overcome that. The new BS/DIN series chain reduces CO2 emissions because of the greatly extended replacement frequency.

Supplied in a high-quality box design for the European market, GT4 Winner is available in sizes 06B to 48B as standard; larger sizes are available on request. Both simplex and duplex variants are available; a triplex variant is available to order and as a stock item later in the year. Tsubaki and many of its distribution partners will hold stock of the new GT4 Winner chain throughout Europe, making it available for next-day delivery in most areas.

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.
