 Desk Stations for Ergonomic Handheld Enclosures
OKW has added a range of desk stations to the Smart-Case series of handheld enclosures. Handheld electronics often require frequent battery charging and connection to a PC or machine for data transfer. OKW 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 molded 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 have a natural organic design which is contoured to fit comfortably in the hand. The cases are available in four standard sizes ranging from 2.268 by 1.398 by 0.748 inches to 6.614 by 2.929 by 1.394 inches, and are molded in off-white or black ABS, or infra-red permeable PMMA (UL 94 HB).
For outdoor applications, the cases can be fitted with an IP65 (NEMA 4) sealing kit. Other options include battery compartments for 1.5 V AAA, 1.5 V AA or 9 V cells, belt/pocket clips and wall holders.
Hoffman’s Fusion G7 Enclosure Allows Scalable Component Mounting, Easy Modifications
Hoffman has released its Fusion G7 global wall-mount enclosures. Featuring a scalable design with a host of internal component mounting provisions and options, Fusion G7 offers the functionality needed to provide a wall-mount enclosure solution for a broad range of industries and applications worldwide.
Fusion G7 enclosures are available in 30 standard metric sizes ranging from 300 by 300 by 225 mm to 1,500 by 900 by 425 mm. Enclosures include a galvanized back panel and easy-to-install removable bottom gland plate that facilitates easy cable entry modifications and wire installation.
Fusion G7 incorporates an optional internal grid system that allows multiple internal panel and component configurations, increasing the mounting area capacity within a smaller footprint allotted. An array of flexible internal mounting accessories designed for ease of installation and flexibility include full and half-height back and side panels, front to back side-mount brackets, DIN rail adapter brackets and swing-out panels. all installed without drilling holes through the enclosure walls. In addition, the standard right-hand hinged door is easily reversible with pre-punched and sealed holes, creating easy access to component.
Compact, 2–Stage EMC Filters for 3-Phase Systems up to 520 VAC
Schurter has announced the latest in its family of 3-phase power line filters. The compact filters, FMBC NEO and FMBD NEO, offer cost savings and broader choices in form, fit and function. The filters protect against interference voltage from the mains, providing very high attenuation performance.
The FMBC NEO 2-stage, 3-phase filter has an operating voltage of 3 X 277/480 VAC and 3x300/520 VAC with a current range from 7 A to 180 A. Its lengthwise design allows for installation in tight control panel spaces. The filter housing is designed for screw mounting. Connections for three phases and ground are made using screw clamp terminals.
The FMBD NEO with neutral conductor is intended for use in four wire systems or three phases, neutral conductor and ground. The operating voltage is set up for 3 X 300/520 VAC installations and is available in currents ranging from 8 A to 200 A. It combines exceptional attenuation with a low leakage rating of <1 mA.
The NEO series is designed for frequency converter based applications such as drive systems, stepper motor drives, inverters and UPS systems. The relatively low leakage current of the FMBD NEO may even be used for some medical devices.
Meggitt Sensing Systems Introduces the Endevco Model 7268C Miniature Triaxial Shock Accelerometer
Meggitt Sensing Systems has announced the global market introduction of the Endevco model 7268C, a miniature triaxial piezoresistive accelerometer designed for high-reliability measurement of short duration shock across three axes and in three orthogonal directions.
Housed within a package size measuring just 12.7 by 10.7 by 13.7 mm, the Endevco model 7268C is offered in ranges of 500 g, rugged to 5,000 g shock with 17 k Hz resonant frequency; and 2,000 g, rugged to 10,000 g shock with 26 k Hz resonant frequency. Sensor frequency response is 0 to 3,000 Hz on the Z-axis and 0 to 1,500 Hz on the X&Y axes.
The combined non-linearity and hysteresis error of the model 7268C is less than 1 percent FSO, making it one of the most accurate sensors of its kind on the market today. The sensor also incorporates integral mechanical stops for added ruggedness and over-range protection, with two fixed resistors, enabling shunt calibration on each axis. Units are supplied with integral cable and customer capability to select both excitation voltage and cable length.
PEM Self-Clinching Prevailing Locknuts Prevent Mating Hardware from Loosening
PEM self-clinching prevailing torque locknuts provide solutions to prevent mating hardware from loosening in service due to vibration or other application-related factors. This growing family of fasteners includes a variety of types and different locking-feature styles to satisfy a wide range of applications.
PEMHEX locknuts integrate a nylon hexagonal element to create a reusable, non-metallic prevailing torque thread lock that eliminates possible galling and any need for lubricant. TRI-DENT locknuts achieve prevailing locking torque using an indenting process that deforms the top thread. PEMFLEX locknuts feature two rugged, semicircular flexing jaws that prevent loosening of mating hardware in especially severe service applications. Miniature locknuts and floating types develop prevailing locking torque through a process that elliptically squeezes the tops of the fasteners. All PEM clinch locknuts install permanently in thin metal sheets.
Depending on type, PEM locknuts demonstrate thread-locking performance equivalent to applicable NASM25027 specifications or meet relevant IFI or ANSI torque requirements. Versions are available in steel, stainless steel, or aluminum and in thread sizes from #2-56 and M2.5 through #10-32 and M5. |
