Mclennan Expands Range of Brushless DC Motors

Mclennan has expanded its range of precision brushless DC motors with the introduction of a five-wire version of the 24mm-diameter Kinetix 24 EB from Allied Motion Technologies. Previously available with two-wire brushless control in separate clockwise and counter-clockwise versions, the new motor includes speed adjustment and direction reversal inputs plus an 18-pulse-per-revolution speed monitoring output.

With a nominal length of just 26mm, the compact motor design includes a low-cog outer rotor with an iron core for particularly smooth speed performance while robust precision bearings enable high radial shaft loads. Available in 6VDC, 12VDC or 24VDC versions with a rated power output of up to 2.7W, the motor specification includes a continuous torque output of up to 6mNm at a nominal speed of 4,300rev/min. The new Kinetix 24 EB complements a range of larger integrated drive-equipped brushless motors from Allied Motion.

The complete range now covers diameters of 24mm, 32mm, 54mm and 68mm, in two- and five-wire control versions, that provide precision speed control for medical dispensing, laser scanning, high-performance fans and pumps and other exacting applications where fine motion control, long life and high reliability are essential.

The brushless and contact-free construction of the Kinetix 24 EB ensures a long working life and the drive electronics include reverse-polarity and over-current protection. For lower speed and higher output torque, Mclennan can supply this motor with a choice of spur or planetary gearboxes to suit application requirements. Further options include customised shafts, mounting flanges and winding and connector configurations.

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.
