In-house Tooling Board Production for ebalta

ebalta are pleased to announce that from the beginning of 2010 they have switched to in-house production for all tooling boards with density >1 kg/l. The new, improved product range of boards has been thoroughly tested in the market and is now available for sale. The in-house production not only provides an improved level of choice and service for customers, but the enhanced range has also strengthened ebalta's offering for mould and model making applications.

ebaboard PW 920 new, for model making, core boxes, pattern plates and jigs was introduced by ebalta to the market during Q1 2010. Compared to the former long-time proven green boards, ebaboard PW 920 new, features much improved abrasion resistance as well as higher impact strength and flexural strength.

Moreover, ebalta have been able to reduce the coefficient of linear expansion by about 22% resulting in easier machining of the materials and much greater dimensional stability.

The ebaboard PW920 new board does not contain any abrasive fillers and can be milled very well without the formation of any dust. This results in models and moulds with a perfect surface, distinguished by this exceptional level of quality.

For optimum machining, new milling parameters and recommendations for seven different types of milling cutters are available on request or via www.ebalta.co.uk.

The new service concept from ebalta also includes the additional range of ebablock® materials. This means that ebalta can offer the total ebaboard material portfolio with density >1 kg/l cast to individual dimensions, according to pattern plates.

ebalta also supply a complete range of colour matched adhesives, repair compounds as well as casting compounds for each ebaboard and ebablock product, with corresponding material characteristics.

Alongside ebaboard PW920 new, the product range of materials with density >1 kg/l also includes ebaboard LX-1, ebaboard 1200, ebaboard 140 and ebaboard W. All of these products are also available as ebablock cast-to-size materials.

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.
