ROEMHELD Compact Clamp Opens Clamping Lever by 90 Degrees

That's really ingenious – the patented system of the ROEMHELD compact clamp enables loading of the workpiece into the fixture independently of the lever length. A clamping recess in the workpiece a little bit wider than the clamping lever is sufficient as clamping surface.

Generally compact clamps are designed for application in hydraulic clamping fixtures where oil supply is effected through drilled channels in the fixture body. With the patented ROEMHELD system, the compact clamp requires only minimum space and is therefore particularly suited for clamping fixtures that allow only little space for the installation of hydraulic clamping elements.

Unimpeded loading and unloading of the clamping fixture
The hydraulic double-acting compact clamp, designed for a maximum operating pressure of 250 bar, is the only hinge clamp on the market that opens the lever by 90 degrees. In unclamping position the clamping lever is swung up so that the workpiece can be easily unloaded. Therewith the target of unimpeded loading and unloading of the clamping fixture is met.

Due to a defined vertical stroke, workpiece clamping without side loads is possible thus significantly increasing the process safety for the machining of clamped workpieces. That applies especially to test systems for motors and gears or the use in assembly lines.

Two different standard clamping levers are designed. Long clamping levers are adaptable to the workpiece.

The version with cover is inserted into open bore holes and enables the smallest possible building height. For versions without cover, a closed pocket hole is required. The respective pneumatic clamping monitoring of the clamping position is already a standard feature - just as the metallic wiper edge for the piston rod.

Four different sizes from 2.5 kN to 10.5 kN are available. Any mounting position of the compact clamps is possible. If special versions are required, the extensive process know-how as well as the long-time experience of the ROEMHELD experts are at the users' disposal in order to combine the different variants for individual applications.

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.
