Silicone Mounts for Isolating Electronic Equipment

A new series of silicone gel mounts from Advanced Antivibration Components (AAC) is suitable for applications such as speaker systems, turntables and camera mounts. The silicone gel mounts are said to be highly effective for isolating electronic equipment. The mounts isolate vibration in low-frequency applications with loads ranging from 0.11lbf to 17.64lbf per mount.

The five mounts, identified as the V10Z61MA and V10Z61MB series, have a collar ID of 3mm to 4mm. The bushings are made of silicone gel and the collar is brass. The operating temperature range is -40C to +200C (-40F to +392F). AAC stocks a range of shock and vibration isolation products, including stud- and nut-type mounts, baseplate-fastened mounts, wheels, levelling and foot mounts, suspension mounts, spring, steel mesh and cable mounts, bumpers, channel mounts, bushings and grommets, pads and tapes and couplings.

These products are stocked in materials such as rubber, neoprene, urethane, Sorbothane, stainless steel mesh and springs. Many are suitable for use in extreme environmental conditions. The company can provide a complete selection of silicone gel stud mounts, pads, foam sheets and paste- and sheet-type thermal gel.

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.
