5320 SERIES - EXTREME ENVIRONMENT PANEL POTENTIOMETER WITH IP66 AND IP67 RATINGS

Duncan Electronics, a division of BEI Technologies, Inc., has developed a fully sealed, harsh environment panel potentiometer. This shaft driven sensor can be used in both position feedback and operator input (panel) applications. The device is rated to meet the requirements of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 529 for Enclosure Protection IP66 AND IP67.

This new generation sensor assembly offers very slim design with low electrical noise performance using a new proprietary “LN” conductive plastic “ink” formulation. The unit can withstand over 1 million full rotation cycles. Additionally, the device is fully sealed and is impervious to contamination and moisture. The sensor can withstand storage temperatures as high as 150ºC and offers continuous operation to 125ºC. The device is ideally suited for use in the harshest industrial, commercial and off highway environments.

BEI Duncan has identified an increasing need for small, high performance sensor packages to meet the demanding requirements in new position feedback and panel control applications. With housing dimensions measuring only 15.9mm wide (0.63”) x 17.7mm (0.7”) high and featuring a slim depth of only 11.6mm (.46”), the 5320 is one of the smallest, fully sealed panel pots in the industry. Additionally, the 5320 Series offers numerous standard and custom options including detent functions, various electrical/mechanical angles, continuous mechanic rotation, shaft configurations, shaft and bushing diameters/lengths, resistance values, etc.

The performance features coupled with the flexibility of the 5320 series design allows it to be easily integrated or re-packaged into a wide variety of existing and new applications. Pricing starts at under $7.00 each in 1,000 piece quantities.

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.
