OKW Adds Desk Stations To Enclosure Range

OKW has added a range of desk/charging stations to the Smart-Case series of handheld enclosures for electronic devices. Handheld electronics often require frequent battery charging, or regular connection to PC or machine for data transfer. The company has provided a solution for this by developing specific desk/charging stations for the Smart-Case enclosures, which fit the cases exactly and have a common design theme. The desk stations are available in three versions to suit case sizes M, L and XL, and are moulded in off-white or black ABS.

A contoured aperture is provided in the top for inserting the case, and knockouts on the underside cater for the data/power cable. Connections between the station and case are provided by gold-plated male and female contacts. Smart-Case enclosures are said to have a natural organic design, which is contoured to fit comfortably in the hand. The cases are available in four standard sizes ranging from 58 x 36 x 19mm to 168 x 74 x 35mm, and are moulded in off-white or black ABS, or infrared permeable PMMA (UL 94 HB). The smallest size XS has a key-ring loop and the larger sizes have a recessed top section for fitting a membrane keypad.

For outdoor applications, the cases can be fitted with an IP65 sealing kit. Other options include battery compartments for 1.5V AAA, 1.5V AA or 9V cells, belt/pocket clips and wall holders. OKW can supply these enclosures with additional holes for the push-buttons, connectors and displays and so on plus silk-screen printed legends and logos, and EMC shielding.

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.
