New UV Curing Adhesives Bond in Seconds, not ‘Light Years’

Techsil is pleased to add Devcon’s new range of high performance structural adhesives to its existing portfolio of epoxy and methacrylate adhesives for industry. Now companies needing to bond difficult substrates such as glass, plastics and dissimilar metals can do so in seconds without environmental and safety hazards by utilising Devcon’s new range of UV light-curing adhesives.
Devcon is well known for its special methacrylate and epoxy adhesives which are designed to bond metals, plastics and wood-based components such as signs, external lights and aircraft seats. These adhesives have been growing in popularity since their introduction to Europe 25 years ago and recently new products have been added to the range. Two part polyurethane adhesives are very fast setting and will bond unprimed ABS, steel, aluminium and composites.

Says Devcon’s UK/ROW Business Manager Gareth Lewis ‘These products offer customers specific advantages over ordinary products. What is very different is once the adhesive is applied the parts can be left for hours if necessary before the bond is formed but once UV light is applied to the glue line, the bond is cured within a few seconds. We have developed one of the products to bond some difficult plastics such as ABS, acrylic and polycarbonates’.

Andy Briars Sales Director of Techsil Ltd. says, “We are looking forward to presenting these new products from ITW Devcon to the marketplace.”

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.
