ZF’s New Compact Magnet Carrier Ideal For Harsh Environments

March 25, 2021

"New compact Magnet Carrier 709-21995 for use with existing Hall-based angle sensors for precise and wear-free angle measurement".

ZF presents its new compact Magnet Carrier 709-21995 for use with existing Hall-based angle sensors for precise and wear-free angle measurement. These are ideal for harsh environments such as in the steering system of forklifts and other off-road vehicles. The combination of the new magnet carrier with the ANG angle sensor offers enormous advantages in limited space due to its small dimensions.

ZF offers several angle sensor variants that differ between the redundancy of the output signal: non-, semi or full redundancy, (primarily for safety requirements), the measuring angle and the cable connection and connector type. These variants support flexible use in individual application areas of angle detection. The ANG sensor is the newest in the ZF angle position sensing portfolio. With its length of 3.2 cm and width of 4.5 cm, it fulfills strict requirements in respect of limited space in customer applications and has an extended temperature range (-40 to 140°C), high accuracy (+/- 2% to +/- 2.5%) and is rated IP68. Depending on the desired security, the ANG angle sensor is available in a simple version with three cable outputs but without a redundant output signal, or with four cables and a semi-redundant output signal.

The brand new and extremely compact magnetic carrier from ZF is ideally suited for combination with angle sensors over a measuring range of up to 360°. It works perfectly in conjunction with the ZF Hall sensors. The plastic carrier housing contains a rare earth magnet consisting of a samarium-cobalt compound. It is equipped with two brass bushings to attach the magnet carrier to the target object reliably. The magnet carrier has primarily been designed to serve applications with limited space. It is only 2.4 cm long and 1.8 cm high.

An application example is electric steering (steer by wire) in forklifts, one that ZF sensors and magnet carriers are already well established. The target is for the precise implementation of the desired steering angle from the driver to be communicated to the vehicle. The small magnet carrier is mechanically attached to the steering axle with M3 screws and rotates without contact. It is therefore wear-free over the Hall element of the sensor.

Schurter UMT-H Fuse Family: Extension 40A and 50A

March 24, 2021

Schurter Logo1.jpg

SMD Ceramic Fuse with Very High Breaking Capacity
• 26 rated currents from 0.16 to 50 A
• International approvals
• Time-Lag T characteristic
• Impermeable to potting compound

The well introduced SMD ceramic fuses of the UMT-H family have been expanded in the form of a 40 A and a 50 A version. Schurter now offers the UMT-H with its Time-Lag T characteristic in a total of 26 rated currents between 160 mA and 50 A.

The UMT-H SMD ceramic fuse now covers a current range from 160 mA to 50 A at voltages of up to 277 VAC and 250 VDC. This makes the cuboid fuse ideal for cost-efficient automated assembly. Its large solder pads ensure excellent heat dissipation.

Applications
The UMT-H was specially developed for primary protection in industrial electronics at nominal voltages of up to 277 VAC. Additional areas of application are energy supply, medical technology and telecommunications as well as e-mobility. New market developments show that currents of 40 A and 50 A are increasingly needed for battery-powered applications.

High Inrush Currents
The UMT-H is predestined for use in applications with high inrush currents (e.g. motors) due to its Time-Lag T characteristic. But also newer applications, which increasingly rely on powerful accumulators, often require slow tripping.

Impermeable to Potting Compound
The UMT-H remains tight with most commercially available potting compounds. Therefore, this fuse is especially suitable for high demands. In addition, the high breaking capacity of 1500 A and the cap distance of >10 mm make the UMT-H the ideal choice for explosion protection.

Schurter FMBC EP 3-Phase Mains Filter

December 22, 2020

Schurter Logo1.jpg

FMBC EP 3-Phase Mains Filter
• Compact design with minimal footprint
• Double-stage filter with high attenuation
• Variants for high voltage applications
• Wide temperature range

Schurter introduces the FMBC EP double-stage filter family for 3 phase systems. Thanks to its particularly compact dimensions and high performance, the new filter series is ideally suited for the tight space conditions in today's machine and industrial plant construction. Due to versions with high nominal voltages, a particularly wide field of applications is possible.

Space is scarce in control cabinets for industrial applications in the 3-phase range. Schhurter has addressed this problem with another complete filter redesign, which is much more compact than previous generations. The new, almost cuboidal design makes optimum use of the space in the housing. Thanks to a double-stage filter and the use of the highest quality components (generously dimensioned film capacitors, chokes with highly permeable cores), the new development shines with exceptional broadband filter attenuation.

Suitable for High EMC Emissions
The double-stage filter family is therefore also appropriate for applications with particularly high EMC emissions, as is frequently encountered in industry. Typical applications include machines and systems for automatic production, motor drives and industrial plant machinery. These powerful filters are also the first choice for modern frequency inverters for motor control.

Mounting
The FMBC EP series features screw terminals for absolutely safe wiring. Thanks to the metal flange, an excellent earth connection is ensured when screwed to the chassis.

Wide Temperature and Voltage Range
The standard types can be used over a wide temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C. The filters are designed for currents from 16 A to 230 A at an ambient temperature of 50 °C. They have both ENEC and cURus approval and are recommended for applications up to 520 VAC or even 760 VAC.

Leakage Current
The standard versions are designed for industrial applications with leakage currents <4 mA. Special variants with leakage currents <1 mA are available for leakage current critical applications.

Applications
• Industrial equipment, machines
• Robotics
•Motor drive applications
•Machine tools
• Energy inverters

The completely redesigned FMBC EP models are the ideal replacement for all types of Schurter FMBC and FMBC NEO filters. They offer identical performance with significantly reduced dimensions and weight.

Sensata (Cynergy3) FSU Series Flow Detection Switch

December 14, 2020

Cynergy3_logo.jpg

Sensata is pleased to announce the Cynergy3 FSU Series Flow Detection Switch.

FSU Series switches have industry standard process connection sizes (push fit or NPT thread) that give a quick and reliable method of installation. The FSU Series of pre-set switches uses a reliable and robust reed switch design for operation. This family is NSF-61 certified and therefore meets the stringent requirements for the control of equipment that comes in contact with potable water.

These flow switches are designed for use in liquid flow systems at pressures up to 10 bar and temperatures up to 85ºC. The switches are supplied with a standard wire length and flow rate set points, but can be customized to suit customer needs.

Why the FSU?
Wherever there is a need to detect the flow of fluid there may be a requirement for a flow switch. To list all areas where this is applicable to the FSU is prohibitive. However the FSU will be used as either a process
control device or system protection device. The FSU is compact, reliable and has very little pressure drop across the switch due to its design, and more cost effective compared to its competitors.

Typical examples of usage are, heater element protection, pump run dry protection, server room cooling flow failure detection or industrial or domestic water supply leak detection.

Applications:
- Circulation pump protection
- Leak detection
- Flow sensing
- Mains water control
- Dispensing Equipment
- Cooling system for electronic equipment (Laser Heads, Welding machine, X-Ray Tubes, Semiconductor Equipment)
- Processing Equipment, Water Purifications and Filtering, Distilling
- Presses, Rotating Equipment, Conveyors, Machine Tools, Robotics

Features:
• NSF-61 approved
• Power ratings 25 VA
• Wide connection range
• Fast switching, allowing precise control
• Compact in-line design
• High life expectancy
