Gates Corporation Offers Expanded Water Pump Product Line Coverage

Coverage Includes Hybrid Vehicles and Back Housing Applications.

Gates Corporation today announced that its water pump product line now offers over 800 SKUs providing coverage for more than 250 million import and domestic vehicles in the U.S. and Canada. With more than 97% coverage of the growing hybrid market, Gates offers water pumps for the Toyota Prius, Honda Civic, Ford Escape, Nissan Altima, Saturn VUE, Toyota Highlander and Toyota Camry.

Other popular applications include water pumps with back housings that allow for replacement of the entire assembly with one unit, reducing installation time and ensuring trouble-free operation with fewer warranty claims and customer comebacks. With 24 SKUs covering over 16 million vehicles in operation, Gates offers more water pumps with back housings than any other manufacturer.

Since 2006, Gates has been producing water pumps at its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Yantai, China. New, precision engineered water pumps are designed and manufactured utilizing Gates 3D finite element analysis (FEA) technology, premium casting alloys and advanced CNC machining procedures.

In addition, all Gates water pumps are manufactured new and are 100% production line quality tested. Gates water pumps feature:

  • 100% fully tested unitized bearings/seals
  • Computerized machined surfaces for proper fit and sealing
  • Precisely balanced impeller for OE fit and function
  • Quality packaging for intact delivery of components
  • Limited lifetime warranty

Gates holds water pump manufacturing and production certifications in ISO/TS16949, ISO14001 and OHSAS18001. As one of the largest water pump manufacturers and exporters in China, Gates distributes automotive and heavy duty pumps to the Americas, European and Asian markets. Globally, Gates has 52 manufacturing facilities that directly support original equipment and aftermarket customers.

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.
