OKW MEDITEC Instrument Enclosures For Medical Electronics

Rapid advances in medical technology are creating an ever-growing market for OKW’s MEDITEC instrument enclosures.

Burgeoning demand for more versatile solutions in medical electronics augers well for OKW’s modern MEDITEC range.

MEDITEC desktop enclosures are aimed primarily at the medical, laboratory and wellness sectors.

They are also ideal for housing contemporary electronics across a wide range of applications including control units, communications devices, peripheral equipment and test and measurement systems.

MEDITEC PCB enclosures can be specified with a sloping control panel for ergonomic operation of the controls and viewing of LCD/LED displays.

A panel can also be fitted under the sloping panel on taller units to allow mounting of connectors for probes or data cables.

And the MEDITEC Portable variant comes with a bail arm/carry handle that also enables the unit to be angled when it is being used on a desktop.

MEDITEC electronic enclosures are available in four plan sizes from 6.30” x 7.87” mm to 11.42” x 10.24” and two standard heights, 2.90” and 4.88”.

Heights can be increased in increments of 1.97” by fitting one or a series of infill panels on either side of the case.

The robust construction of MEDITEC plastic electronic enclosures is achieved through strengthening ribs in the top and base moldings.

MEDITEC ABS enclosures (UL 94 HB) come in the standard color Off-white (RAL 9002) with the side trims offered in a choice of either Off-white or Lagoon Green. Special colors can be molded on request for a minimum order quantity of 250 pieces. Prices for the cases start at $42.

Accessories for MEDITEC plastic enclosures include ABS front panels, stacking feet and side panel connectors.

Optional brackets enable them to be used as wall mount enclosures, making them even more versatile.

OKW offers electronics designers a full custom enclosures service for the MEDITEC range with CNC milling, silk-screen printing and much more – providing a fully finished housing ready for the electronic components.

OKW Enclosures Vice President, Sales, Sean Bailey said: “Today’s medical and laboratory devices have to be more versatile than ever – and with pressure on budgets, they also have to be more affordable.

“By choosing standard enclosures designed specifically for the medical sector, designers can specify high quality housings and still keep project costs down,” he added.

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.
