Torque Screwdrivers Suit Space-Restricted Assembly

Mountz has introduced the Flexpower line of cordless screwdrivers, designed for high torque control and durability and built around the 10.8V and 14.4V high-capacity lithium-ion battery platforms. These rugged assembly tools increase productivity and enhance product quality through precision torque control and user comfort. They are suitable for applications where air or electric power is not easily accessible.

The cordless torque screwdrivers automatically stop when the preset torque has been reached. In demanding fastening applications, where speed and manoeuvrability are key assembly requirements, the cordless tools operate at lengthy periods between charges and are flexible for tight-space applications. The Flexpower screwdrivers feature an ergonomic hand grip that is designed to improve control and reduce fatigue in long-run applications. The cordless screwdrivers are built with LED indicators that provide an audible and visual alarm signal for the operator as he/she achieves the preset torque value.

The LEDs will provide a signal to the operator if the preset torque was not achieved, as well as provide an early warning of a low battery. Mountz has improved the technology of cordless screwdrivers with a unique mechanism designed to automatically shut-off the tool when the battery has less than 25 per cent of the charge, ensuring the quality of the fastening torque. The Flexpower cordless screwdrivers are offered in a pistol-style configuration as well as a right-angle style, with various models covering a torque range of 8.8-265.5 inch-pounds.

The right-angle Flexpower cordless screwdriver models feature a high-performance brushless motor design that provides durability and reduces the standard maintenance costs. All the cordless torque screwdrivers feature a LED light for applications with dark operating areas. Mountz cordless torque screwdrivers are designed for precision torque control, which is essential for companies to ensure their product's quality, safety and reliability isn't compromised.

The failure of a three-cent fastener that isn't properly tightened can lead to catastrophic or latent failures. Fasteners that are insufficiently torqued can vibrate loose and excessive torque can strip threaded fasteners. Using a quality cordless torque screwdriver is therefore important for many companies, to ensure that proper torque is being applied and maintains gauge requirements associated with the ISO 9001 Quality Standard.

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.
