Timing Pulleys Suited for Positioning Applications

Misumi has added products to its range of timing pulleys, belts and keyless bushings, which are used in the design and assembly of rugged factory automation and motion control machinery and systems. This high-torque series includes four types of rugged, round-tooth-profile timing pulleys (2GT, 3GT, 5GT and 8YU), built to deliver durable performance in high-accuracy positioning applications, with minimal backlash. Each product type comes in a variety of styles and a range of sizes.

For the 3GT, 5GT and 8YU versions, users can select construction material options that include 2017 aluminum alloy (Duralumin), 1045 carbon steel or 1045 carbon steel with black oxide finish. The 2GT version comes in 2017 aluminum alloy (Duralumin) with 5052 aluminum alloy flange and clear anodised finish. They can also specify shaft bore machining options, such as location and configuration. Misumi offers a range of GT Series Timing Belts for use with the GT Timing Pulleys.

Misumi now offers inch-based shaft bore machining options - in addition to metric - for many of its most popular lines of timing pulleys. These include: MXL, XL, L and H types - conventional trapezoidal timing pulleys for standard torque applications; S2M, S3M, S5M and S8M Types - circular-arc timing pulleys for high-torque applications; T types - trapezoidal toothed timing pulleys for conveyance of light loads and transmissions; AT types - heavy-duty timing pulleys offering 1.3 more allowable tension than T types to facilitate heavy-load conveyance.

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...

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...

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.
