Versatile Photoelectrics with IP69K Rating

Carlo Gavazzi proudly launches a new generation of compact photoelectric sensors in a combination rectangular and M18 housing, for universal mounting. The versatile PH18 Series brings new features, longer sensing ranges, and new options - in a housing that fits just about anywhere!

The new housing design of PH18 allows the sensor to be mounted to a bracket using mounting holes & screws or as a traditional M18 sensor with mounting nut. In addition, a new snap mounting bracket that provides a flush mount with a single jam nut is included with every sensor. And the new PH18 is IP69K rated for high pressure/high temperature wash downs, with ECOLAB certification for food & beverage applications.

Some additional features of the new PH18 include:
  •     Diffuse sensing up to 1m
  •     Retro-reflective sensing up to 6.5m
  •     Polarized retro-reflective sensing up to 5m
  •     Through-beam sensing up to 20m
  •     All models have a potentiometer for easy adjustment of sensing range
  •     Two LEDs indicate signal quality and power and target detection
  •     Can withstand high temperatures (176°F/80°C) and high pressure (1,450 psi) cleaning
  •     Laser printing replaces labels, so key information stays intact even after cleaning
  •     Normally open and normally closed outputs in every sensor
  •     Supply voltage 10-30 VDC
  •     Connection options include 2m PVC cable, M12 quick-disconnect plug or a M12 pig-tail
The new PH18 Series is a sister product to our very popular and successful PA18 Series. Carlo Gavazzi now offers you more choices than ever before in compact photoelectric sensors – more sensor choices, more industries, more applications and more features! And all at prices that are amongst the most competitive in our industry.

In short, the PH18 and PA18 give you more …for less! And with cULus and CE approvals and ECOLAB certification, you can be confident that these sensors are high quality, safe and durable.

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.
