Misumi USA to sponsor "Go Configure" Contest at 2011 Automation Technology Expo Canada

MISUMI USA, Inc., a subsidiary of MISUMI Corporation, part of MISUMI Group, Inc. (Tokyo: 9962), will once again sponsor its highly popular “Go Configure” contest at the 2011 Automation Technology Expo Canada, scheduled for June21-23 at the Toronto Congress Centre, Toronto, Canada. A daily 3:00 p.m. drawing for an Apple iPod Nano (6th Gen) will take place at the MISUMI booth #939 on each day of the show. In addition to the daily prizes, a First Prize of an Apple iPod Touch and Grand Prize of an Apple iPad2 Wi-Fi 32GB will be awarded at the 3:00 p.m. daily drawing on the last day of the show, Thursday, June 23rd.

MISUMI’s “Go Configure” contest is co-sponsored by Design World Magazine. All show attendees are invited to enter. Contest ballots will be available at the MISUMI booth. To enter, attendees simply need to answer a few questions on the back of the ballot, provide their contact information, and have their badge swiped at the booth. At ATX Canada 2011, MISUMI will highlight a wide array of its fixed and configurable mechanical components for use in motion control, assembly and factory automation machinery and devices. MISUMI’s team of Mechanical Engineers will be available at the booth to provide information and assistance.

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.
