Cherry Sensor Can Be Used With A Splined Geartooth

ZF Electronics has developed the Cherry SD1012 series Hall-effect geartooth speed and direction sensor that suits the rigorous demands found in harsh automotive environments. In modern vehicles, engine transmission is controlled by a large number of different sensors and controllers - for example, sensors are used on the transfer gears or on the output shaft to measure direction, speed and change of speed. Typically, a gear sensor will have only a speed and direction output.

The Cherry SD1012 series from ZF Electronics has two discrete quadrature outputs, allowing it to be used with a splined geartooth. The two outputs provide a better resolution for measurement in such applications. As the SD101201 sensor has near-zero speed sensing capability, only minimal movement of the ferrous geartooth targets is required prior to recognition. Capable of more than 8,000Hz target speed, this rugged sensor also features a locating mark to ensure correct rotational alignment. Moreover, 10-bit dynamic threshold detection offers an automatically adjusting magnetic range and is self-compensating to target geometry and immune to target run out.

The Cherry SD101201 geartooth speed and direction sensor is available in a durable and robust flange-mount plastic housing, which suits harsh automotive environments and is qualified to an operating temperature range of -40C to 125C. Although a low-cost package suitable for high-volume automotive applications, it also meets IEC60529 IP67 for dust and water protection. ZF Electronics also offers OEM end customers a mapping capability - the customer can send in their target to be analysed with a Cherry speed or speed and direction sensor for best application results.

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.
