The safe sensorless standstill monitor UG 6946 from the SAFEMASTER S series detects the standstill of 3-phase and 1-phase motors independent of the direction of rotation. This means sensors such as encoders or proximity switches are not required. Access to the danger zone of a system is only possible by the enabling signal of the standstill monitor after the drive has been switched off and run down.
TE Connectivity has launched its Raychem smart RSTI-VS separable connector with voltage sensor, which can be used for grid monitoring and advanced earth fault and short circuit detection in IEC markets. Together with grid monitoring devices such as Kries’ IKI-50, distribution network operators can deploy condition monitoring, advanced fault detection and failure prediction in their networks.
Following the current trend, this space-saving IP 65/67 Industrial PC hardware with flexible mounting options is ideally suited for implementing advanced Industrie 4.0 solutions. A wide variety of onboard interfaces enables the networking of machine or plant sections in the cloud or other networks. Moreover, the integrated EtherCAT P connection offers undreamt-of possibilities for the direct connection of actuators and sensors via EtherCAT P Box modules with IP 67 protection.
In expanding their commitment to providing standard duty connections, Weidmuller was recently proud to announce the addition of a new color-coded Power Distribution Block series to their already impressive selection of IP 20 feed-through terminals. These DIN rail/direct mountable blocks are intended for distributing main power sources for low voltage (600V AC/DC, 30-310A) applications, utilizing large wire sizes, and of course, maintaining finger-safe connections.
Excelitas Technologies Corp. recently announced the LINOS d.fine HR Area Scan Module, which enables area scan applications for the company’s d.fine HR 2.4/128 3.33x High Resolution Inspection Lens. The combination of d.fine HR Lens and new Area Scan Module features a large image circle up to 82 mm and a high resolution up to 300 Lp/mm in a spectral distribution of 400 nm – 750 nm.
New connectors as well as cable-based string fuses extend the SUNCLIX product series for photovoltaic systems from Phoenix Contact. The device connectors are particularly suitable for cabling inverters and string combiner boxes. The fast screw connection saves you time and money during installation. A patented Unlock system enables smaller actual dimensions as well as convenient release without the need for a special tool.
Phoenix Contact’s protective devices in the TERMITRAB complete product family provide a high level of protection against overvoltages in a minimum amount of space. With the TTC-6-1×2-TELE devices, two new product variants are now available for fast VDSL applications with data transmission speeds up to 300 Mbps. The products are specifically tailored to the requirements for data transmission with Super Vectoring.
Stewart Connector, a Bel group company, recently announced the release of their tool-less Cat 6a Cable Splicer. Stewart Connector’s cable splicer is a time-saving solution for Ethernet connections that require field terminations. The cable splicer is designed to create easy connections between patch cables and installation cables for consolidation point applications or for end-to-end links.
SCHURTER’s prominent UMT-H surface mount ceramic fuse family now includes 40 A and 50 A current ratings with an impressive breaking capacity rating of 500 A at 125 VAC / 72 VDC. The series provides unprecedented overcurrent and short circuit protection performance in a package size of 5.3 x 16 mm. The UMT-H was originally developed to provide a smaller alternative to through-hole mounted 5 x 20 mm cartridge fuses, commonly used for primary circuit protection.
Pixus Technologies, a provider of embedded computing and enclosure solutions, has recently announced a new implementation of its ruggedized enclosure utilizing NI’s Ettus Research brand Software Defined Radio (SDR). The RX310-X03 enclosure is designed to MIL-STD-810 for shock/vibration/environmental and MIL-STD-461 for EMI. It features MIL 38999 connectors for the front and rear I/O interfaces.
The easiest way to control the speed directly on the machine is to use an analog potentiometer. However, wearing gloves in dusty or humid environments, for example, makes operation more difficult. Therefore, the use of the robust SIRIUS ACT ID key-operated switch as a digital potentiometer is particularly suitable under these environmental conditions. This alternative with freely programmable IO-Link electronic module enables precise and fine-grained speed adjustment due to its tactile detent positions.
Data Centre and Plant Managers working in small and mid-sized businesses often find themselves searching their buildings for unused space to house the company’s IT and other enclosures. Mailrooms, empty offices, janitors’ closets…all have been repurposed into data closets holding one to a few racks. This approach may be the right choice in terms of square footage needed, but when it comes to proper climate conditions for sensitive IT equipment, it could not be more wrong.
Littelfuse, Inc. recently launched an industrial manufacturing and processing web page focused on safety. “The new industrial-focused web page puts educational resources at the fingertips of safety and manufacturing professionals,” said Debra Jayson, Senior Marketing Manager, Littelfuse Industrial Business. “Worker safety is a major concern in this industry. This new page provides application information and training materials to help improve electrical safety in key areas such as shock and arc-flash protection.”
SOUTHCO has recently introduced the latest product in its successful line of magnetic catches, with a new version that combines strength and style. Constructed of corrosion resistant stainless steel, the M5 Magnetic Catch combines a highly polished finish with the holding power of rare earth magnets to provide a robust and attractive solution for keeping doors and panels open or closed.
Struggling to have proper heat distribution within your enclosure? Don’t let temperature and condensation derail your mission-critical applications. STEGO is here to help with a wide array of FAN HEATERS that are available in both AC and DC variants. These high-performance heaters are designed to distribute heating power evenly and consistently throughout the whole enclosure. This series of STEGOs heaters are ideal for enclosures where space is at a premium.
Cinch Connectivity Solutions, a Bel group company, now offers a 2.92mm Quick Connect Adapter and High Frequency SMA Quick Connect Adapters, designed to adapt from a standard threaded jack to a Quick Connect Plug. These adapters are designed to allow for rapid test connections to devices using 2.92mm and SMA connectors, resulting in a more efficient testing process by reducing the time and effort required to connect and disconnect the test cable.
