Misumi USA to present new configurable components at 2011 Automation Technology Expo Canada

MISUMI USA, Inc., a subsidiary of MISUMI Corporation, part of MISUMI Group, Inc.(TOKYO:9962),will highlight a host of new mechanical components for motion control, assembly and factory automation applications at this year’s Automation Technology Expo Canada, June 21-23, 2011 inToronto. Machine building OEMs and automation system design engineers can learn more about thenew products at MISUMI Booth Number 939.

Samplings of the new MISUMI components include:

  • New Low Cost positioning solutions includingStandard Precision Positioning Stages and Simplified Adjustment Units.
  • LX Series Linear Actuator line extensions, to include Actuators with Reverse Parallel Motor or Motor Wrap (for space-saving requirements). No design time required – can be configured to precise specifications and standardized for fast, easy reordering.
  • KU Series Actuator line extensions, including nine new standardized types of Precision ClassSingle Axis KU Actuators.
  • Miniature Conveyors,including a new space-saving Flat Belt Single Track Mini Conveyor (70mm) with built-in motor drive, and a Dual Track Mini Conveyor (57mm), End Shaft Driven, which features a rugged carbon steel sprocket and Polyacetal plastic chain for ease of maintenance.
  • ConfigurableAutomotive Style Locating Pins and Holders, in six different styles, developed specifically for leading automotive industry OEMs.
  • Gates PowerGrip GT Belt Series, an additionto MISUMI’s line of Timing Pulleys and Belts. Offers shaft bore machining and surface treating options, yet ships in only six days!
  • Compact and cost-saving On-Off Switchable Magnet Blocks with Three-Sided Attraction.Used primarily in assembly applications, the Magnet Blocks are about one-third the size of competitive units – at a fraction of the price.
  • Factory Frame Joints in five new styles, a significant line expansion for easy assembly of MISUMI’s highly popular Aluminum Extrusions, which are available in large array of profiles, styles and sizes.
  • New accessories designed for use in assembling factory floor carts, pallets and/or shelving built with MISUMI Aluminum Extrusions, include Adjustable Height Floor Stoppers and Skidproof Nuts.

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.
