Misumi Ball Bearings Reduce Rotational Friction

Misumi has announced ball bearings for use in machinery and equipment across the agricultural, automotive, aerospace, general industrial, medical device and packaging industries. The bearings are designed to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. The bearing products, which were introduced in Misumi's 2011 Metric Catalog of Mechanical Components, include: deep groove, double shielded - economy type; deep groove with flange - with multiple new specs; deep groove, single shielded; deep groove, double shielded with C3 clearance - radial clearance is larger than standard products.

These bearings are suitable for tight joining fit and potential temperature difference between outer and inner rings. Also on offer are deep groove, contact sealed, stainless-steel bearings - made of 440C SS with NBR (nitrile rubber) seal. This offers better moisture and dust resistance than standard open, double shielded and non-contact sealed styles. Deep groove, small, open one-way clutches feature bearings at both ends of the clutch to support radial loads. The clutch locks in one direction and free spins in the other. Misumi's self-aligning ball bearings have the ability to tolerate mounting misalignment and deflection during rotation.

They are suitable for use in drive shafts that tend to deflect, or where precise alignment of shaft and housing are difficult. Deep groove with groove bearings come in three different styles using 440C stainless steel: V-Groove, SZU U-Groove and SZG G-Groove. The selection of ball bearing styles, sizes and material will depend on each end user's design and performance requirements. Complete technical information, specifications, pricing and ordering information on Misumi's portfolio of ball bearings and ball bearings with housings are provided in the 2011 Metric Catalog.

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.
