Parker to Show Maintenance and Safety Technologies

Parker Hannifin will showcase its latest integrated maintenance and safety technologies for demanding applications at this year's Maintec event on 29-31 March 2011 at the NEC in Birmingham. According to the company, which will be found on Stand C5, its products, systems and services increase efficiency and improve performance to deliver bottom-line benefits. Parker specialises in the development, prototyping and manufacture of components and systems, including a range of fluid power, electromechanical, instrumentation, filtration and condition monitoring products for demanding applications.

The company will also showcase its range of compressed-air treatment technologies, global FRL products, connectors and hoses, as well as hydraulics maintenance solutions such as the Classic Laser LCM particle detection and the Service Master Plus diagnostic equipment. Attendees can learn about Parker's Transair pipework system, which is designed to provide optimal flow performance, increase efficiency and boost profitability. This compact and lightweight system ensures a leak-free mechanical connection without the need for crimping, gluing or welding and offers flexibility in use as all components are interchangeable and completely reusable.

Also on show will be Parker's latest high-performance safety technology, such as its Moduflex Airguard compressed-air fuses, designed to comply with the latest regulations including the Corporate Manslaughter Act and EN ISO 4414, and its hydraulic accumulator safety blocks. In addition, the company will exhibit its system and maintenance engineering capabilities that deliver tested and standards-compliant solutions, along with its worldwide Parkerstore network that enables customers to increase the performance of their businesses.

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.
