Hydraulic Clamping Elements for Clamping of Workpieces

Highest flexibility offers the proved swing clamp line with sturdy swing mechanism that ROEMHELD continues now with again improved product characteristics. Different design changes have been made that lead to significant performance enhancing compared with the previous models.

The variant with flange at the top often used on the market is available in four sizes and enables high clamping forces with relatively low oil pressures. Also a use under difficult operating conditions is possible without any problems: Due to the sturdy swing mechanism without overload protection device the angle position of the clamping arm remains the same after a slight collision with the workpiece during loading or unloading. Also a collision during the clamping process is not critical.

Five different possibilities for position monitoring
Very advantageous for the universal use are the five different possibilities for position monitoring, a feature that is not offered by any other competitor. The complete control is made via the integrated pneumatic ports in the flange or - according to the request - by additional position monitoring possibilities that are available as accessories.

Due to this flexibility the double-acting swing clamps are especially suitable for the use in clamping fixtures with workpiece change by handling systems, in transfer lines, automatic manufacturing systems or special machine tools. This applies also to complete test systems for motors, gears or axes.

High process safety due to sturdy design
For high flow rates the swing speed of the new swing clamp is limited by installed throttle points. Due to the sturdy design and a strengthening of the material, now also operating pressures of max. 350 bar are possible.

Beside the standard FKM wiper at the piston rod, which has a high chemical resistance against aggressive cutting fluids, the swing clamp can be equipped with a metallic wiper. The metallic wiper protects the FKM wiper against mechanical damage especially in the case of heavy cutting operations.

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.
