Surface-Measuring Systems Target Production Areas

Mahr has expanded its range of surface-measuring systems with the Marsurf M 400 skidless instrument, which enables highly precise measurements to be carried out in the production area. Building on the success of the M 300 system, the M 400 features the same Bluetooth interface, making this mobile instrument optionally cable-free and mains-independent with long-life batteries.

Designed with usability in mind, as well as performance, the M 400 enables the user to access and probe difficult-to-reach surfaces without compromising measurement quality. However, if required, it can be expanded quickly and easily to a small stationery workstation using components from the Mahr range of accessories, such as the ST-G measuring stand. The drive unit provides free measurement with a highly precise probe system and offers 26mm of tracing length with a measurement speed of 1mm/s.

Furthermore, the drive unit features the BFW 250 magnetic probe-arm mounting system, which allows quick and trouble-free changeover while reducing the risk of damage. To add to the M 400's ease of operation, only a few seconds of setting time are needed, due to the motorised height adjustment of the drive unit and automatic zero positioning. The evaluation unit features a brilliant colour display and a simple menu structure.

All common surface-measurement parameters are available as per DIN/ISO, JIS and ASME standards, as well as many integrated languages. The integral thermo printer allows results to be made available instantly, although the onboard memory means that up to 40,000 results and up to 30 profiles can be stored for later evaluation. Mahr's Workstation Software is optionally available, allowing results to be stored and evaluated on a separate PC.

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.
