Hepcomotion Exhibits SBD Actuator At Mach 2010

At Mach 2010 Hepcomotion will be exhibiting its SBD sealed-belt-drive linear actuator, whose main features will the subject of a range of video displays on the company's stand. Designed for high-duty applications, these products are said to provide a clean linear solution. The small-size addition to the range, SBD 15-60, is based on a linear ball guide and is supplied in increments of 60 to 6,000mm in one piece.

Unlimited lengths can be achieved by joining the beams. Hepcomotion offers stainless steel as a standard choice in all its ranges. The SBD 15-60 is also fully compatible with the company's MCS Machine Construction System, allowing it to be incorporated into any bespoke automation system or machine. The creation of an X-Y-Z system will also be a focus at Mach 2010. Hepcomotion's X-Y-Z systems use a different actuator in each axis, which is said to result in greater overall efficiency, problem-free production and a long service life.

In a typical Hepcomotion system, the X-axis would be a PDU2 linear actuator with ultra-high performance Herculane wheel technology, while the Y-axis would be the high-moment-load version of the same product - the PDU2M. The enhanced linear force and higher gearing needs of the Z-axis are met by the stainless-steel lead-screw-driven PSD80 - another product that uses Herculane wheels. All units fit together using standard components and are easily integrated into frames or more complex machines.

The system can be specified as individual parts, in kit form or fully assembled, and Hepcomotion also provides a complete turnkey service. Also on display, the company's Machine Fencing System provides economical, protective barriers for use around machine installations, gantries and robot systems. This maintenance-free system is simple to construct and provides a low-cost alternative to steel-fence frameworks.

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.
