TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION ADVERTORIAL


New icotek FDA-compliant cable entry plates available from Foremost Electronics


KEL-DPZ-HD has been specially developed for the use in the food and pharmaceutical industries F New resources to


emphasise the importance of thread locking


assemblies against vibrational self-loosening and has released a powerful new video and education guide to support this initiative. There are several different methods of addressing the


H


problem of self-loosening and most of them include the use of mechanical devices to lock threads and maintain the desired clamp load. Common solutions are a double nut that increases contact through more thread interface, a spring washer to increase bolt tension through its spring action or a nylon insert which creates interference between itself and the bolt threads. The limitation of all these methods is that none tackle


the gap that exists between the threads of the bolt and nut. To download a copy go to: https://bit.ly/38EMLOa

oremost Electronics, the engineering- led Essex based importer and specialist


distributor of electromechanical components announces the availability of the new icotek KEL-DPZ-HD which has been specially developed for the use in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Working within the Hygienic Design


(EHEDG) guidelines, icotek have taken great care to make the surface very smooth, avoiding any dirt-collecting recesses on the visible side. The outer contour radius of 6mm, rather than the required minimum of 3mm, exceeds the EHEDG specifications. The KEL-DPZ-HD uses an FDA-compliant material in accordance with food approval 1935/2004 / EG and (EU) 10/2011. The new KEL-DPZ-HD are manufactured in the


signal colour blue providing users with clear visual colour recognition and are free of halogen and silicone. They have high resistance to aromatic solvents, oils, greases, mineral products, are corrosion proof and maintenance free,.


Cables and hoses with a diameter range from 3.2mm to 22.2mm are routed and sealed to IP65/66/67/68.


Depending on the version, up to 35 cables can be routed. The clamping area has a flexibility of up to 7mm and offers flexible options even during the assembly. The plates are initially available with a metric thread in sizes M32, M40, M50 and M63. A major advantage over conventional cable glands is the significantly greater packing density. Fixing the cable entry plate with a lock nut is also an option. To complete its Hygienic Design System, icotek developed detectable KB-HDD cable ties and KBH-HDD cable tie


holders. icotek also offers ST-B-HD plugs to provide a detachable version, in order to seal any pierced cable entry membranes which are no longer in use.

New PULS 40A DC UPS controller offers maximum reliability and flexibility


T


he PULS Power, UB40.241 is a new 40A rated DIN-


Rail mounted controller for uninterruptible power supply systems. The new model is now the most powerful UPS controller in PULS’s range which already includes a variety of models currently providing up to 20A capacity. In combination with a 24Vdc power supply and an external battery pack it enables the reliable bridging of power failures and voltage fluctuations. This can prevent system damage, costly downtime, time-consuming restarts, and the loss of critical data.


Applications include SMART buildings and factories, Industry 4.0, security and CCTV, instrumentation and


measuring systems. While the system power supply provides sufficient voltage the DC-UPS controller will charge the battery bank. Should


the supply voltage suddenly fail, the energy stored in the battery is released to the DC bus in a regulated process. A unique feature of the UB series is the PULS 1-Battery concept. To ensure the longest possible battery life, each


12V battery is charged and monitored separately. This smart function eliminates the need to match batteries. The UB40.241 allows precise charging, testing and optimised usage of the battery capacity. The UB40.241 has various battery diagnostic functions including an early pre-warning signal when the battery is


low. This ensures safe and reliable operation of the entire system. Battery charging is temperature-controlled which also has a positive effect on the battery life. It also features a selectable buffer time limiter as well as signal contacts for system "Ready", "Buffering" and "Replace battery". For safety and maintenance reasons, an inhibit- input signal is included to enable phases without enforced buffering.
