Brake-Motor Assemblies Made with Theatre in Mind

Through a joint venture with Gamak Motors, Mayr Transmissions is able to supply complete brake-motor assemblies in sizes ranging from IEC 71 through to IEC 132 frame. The 'silent' (less than 50dB(A)) double-braked motors have been designed with the stage and theatre industry in mind, but are suitable for any lifting or winching application where double security and low operating noise is required.

Motors can be either flange or foot mounted and be fitted with either single or double brakes, all of which are available with a variety of options such as hand releases, wear/release monitoring switches, encoder shafts and the full range of coil voltages. Smaller motors (up to 1.5KW 90 Frame) can be supplied with Mayr's new cost-effective ROBA-secustop brakes, while larger motors are supplied with the industry-standard ROBA-stop-silenzio brakes.

Both brake types are approved for EN81 and BGV C1 applications, and feature Mayr's patented noise-damping technology, ensuring consistently quiet switching. Mayr will be displaying the brake motors at the ABTT show (15-16 June 2011) at London's Royal Horticultural Halls, along with other products from its range of torque limiters, shaft couplings and safety brakes.

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.
