The MTRJ centrifugal jet pump motors offer an economical motor solution and come in a TEFC enclosure with a 56J frame that has a threaded shaft for direct connection to a jet pump. These jet pump motors are available in 120/230 VAC from 1/3 to 2hp and in 208-230/460 VAC from 1/3 to 3hp at 3600rpm. They have a bolt-on – bolt-off base and single-phase models that include built-in thermal protection.
Nidec Corporation recently announced that it has launched for the US market SynRA (Synchronous Reluctance Motor with Aluminum Cage Rotor), the world’s first aluminum cage-equipped, high-efficiency synchronous reluctance (SR) motor that combines an SR motor with the cage-type induction motor’s basic principles. The cage-type induction motor, used as a general-purpose motor for industrial applications, can be activated when connected to a commercial power supply. In addition, the motor, which does not require an inverter (the device to control rpm), does not cost a lot to introduce, and this is why it is used in fans, pumps, compressors, cranes, elevators, and many other industrial machines
AutomationDirect has added new Captron Caneo Series10 and Series41 pushbuttons to expand their offering of capacitive pushbutton switches. Capacitive pushbuttons utilize touch control and are activated without pressure when a hand or body part nears the device’s surface.
Gems Sensors offers a variety of products to support many water tank applications. Point-level and continuous level, pressure, temperature, and flow sensors perform different functions when monitoring or controlling processes involving a water tank. Here are just a few.
In end-of-line automation in particular, robot applications are frequently used, precisely when processes such as palletizing of cartons or secondary packaging and heat sealing of pallets are involved. Personnel protection is the highest priority here and is generally provided via guards. In the event of maintenance or malfunction, it must be possible to put the machine back into operation quickly and safely, to minimize unproductive downtimes.
Yaskawa America, Inc., Drives and Motion Division, is pleased to announce the newest addition to the industrial AC drive family, the FP605 Industrial Fan and Pump Drive. Here for the long haul and helping to contribute to a healthy and sustainable environment, the FP605 is an easy to install and configure industrial fan and pump drive. It is designed for countless applications to reduce energy use, including centrifugal compressors, fans, pumps, and process control in industries such as material handling, food and beverage, chemical, rubber and plastics, textile and printing.
