Flomotion Pumps Hard-to-Handle Chemicals with the SMV

Flomotion Systems develops and manufactures unique seal-less peristaltic pumps that eliminate loss-of-prime failures in chemical feed applications. Typical markets served include water & wastewater treatment, chemical, food & dairy, pharmaceutical, pulp & paper, energy management, power and irrigation.

A long-time user of the Lenze drives, Flomotion incorporated the economical, compact and lightweight SMVector in the design of their 2001HEC Series pumps. The Flomotion 2001HEC Series are rugged, reliable and cost effective industrial hose pumps built to succeed in harsh industrial environments. Several features of the SMVector make it a perfect fit for the job, including a removable terminal cover, easy access for control and power wiring and the fact that it can handle a wide range of operating temperatures from -10 to 55ºC. Last but not least, according to Flomotion, the SMVector offers better protection against electrical shock than any other NEMA 1 controller on the market.

Mounting the SMVector controller directly to the pump allows Flomotion to optimize precious panel space and offer its customers outstanding convenience. The unique Electronic Programmable Module (EPM) stores the drive’s parameter configuration, greatly simplifying initial setup.

Centrifugal and pumping applications, especially those moving fluids or a mixture of wet and dry ingredients, present a challenge because the speed is affected by the load. Fluid moving applications require "variable speed" - a drive and motor that can produce the necessary horsepower to move the load at a constant speed. The motor will draw from the drive the amount of current it needs to 'do the job'. The SMVector drive works well in this type of application because the speed can be controlled tightly in vector mode (more torque/less speed) or loosely in V/Hz mode to determine just the right amount of speed.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to
