Blue Diamond Expands Automotive Aftermarket Range

Blue Diamond has expanded its range of high-quality components for the automotive aftermarket. Blue Diamond is now manufacturing bolts and fixings, nuts and locknuts, gaskets and static seals, springs, 'O' rings, circlips, oil seals, multi-component kits and many other aftermarket components. Items being supplied are reverse engineered from original equipment samples to ensure dimensional, material and performance specifications of matching quality.

To measure complex engineering components to a high accuracy, Blue Diamond has invested in the latest multi-sensor co-ordinate vision system. This system produces 2D engineering drawings used for manufacturing. A desktop spectrometer incorporating the latest multi-element CCD array detector is used to analyse the metal content of any part and replicate it - allowing a complete manufacturing specification to be originated. Kits of parts - for example seals, circlips and bolts - can be provided and are available boxed and packed complete, if desired, with the customer's branding and logo.

An added benefit is that Blue Diamond can arrange order scheduling, packaging/labelling and stockholding of products. By choosing appropriate companies from its quality-assessed suppliers, Blue Diamond can match the quantity requirements to the capacity available. So whether the need is for a small quantity, or larger production runs, Blue Diamond can respond by providing a highly competitive and flexible source. Quality is guaranteed by Blue Diamond's Quality Management System, which complies with the requirements of ISO 9001:2008.

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.
