Banner Engineering Next Generation Sensors for Predictive Maintenance

Banner's QM30VT Series vibration and temperature sensors offer exceptional levels of accuracy and are housed in heavy-duty, ultracompact enclosures. They detect potential problems on motors, fans, pumps, and similar equipment by measuring temperature and a variety of vibration characteristics. Paired with a MultiHop Modbus Radio or 1-Wire Serial Node, these sensors will communicate health and performance data over a Sure Cross® wireless network to a DXM Series wireless controller.

FEATURES

Superior Design & Performance: QM30VT Series sensors build on the capabilities offered by the QM42VT Series sensors they replace. They maintain all the same functionality, registers, and scaling of the QM42VT Series. However, their ultracompact design (30 mm x 30 mm x 13.25 mm) and rigid metal construction reduces resonant interference, enabling superior measurement accuracy. They are available in IP67- and IP69K-rated models and are some of the smallest sensors available on the market.

Versatile Deployments: QM30VT Series sensors have an ultracompact design that fits easily in very small spaces. The thin, flexible cable and easy-to-use bracket options simplify installation, even in hard-to-access locations. They are available with an IP67-rated sealed aluminum housing for use in most industrial applications or with an IP69K-rated 316L stainless steel housing suitable for use in washdown environments.

Early Identification of Problems: Machine vibration is often caused by imbalanced, misaligned, loose, or worn parts. QM30VT Series sensors provide greater levels of accuracy in measuring RMS velocity and other vibration characteristics. They will detect even slight changes in machine performance, so potential problems can be identified early, before an issue can cause additional damage, machine failure, and costly unplanned downtime.

Telemecanique Sensors Wireless and Battery-less Limit Switches Now Available in Miniature Size

The groundbreaking wireless and battery-less limit switch technology released in 2015 by Schneider Electric Telemecanique Sensors is now available in the most compact form on the market. Available now in miniature, this cutting-edge limit switch technology continues to revolutionize detection applications. XC Wireless and battery-less Limit Switches can be used in a wide variety of applications and new usages are emerging every day. Examples include presence, position, or level detection in remote locations, rotating or moving parts of a system, and remote control applications.

Wireless 

The wireless and battery-less technology from Telemecanique Sensors simplifies machine communication where cabling is difficult, expensive, or unwanted. It is the perfect way to give mobile machines more freedom of movement. The technology also drastically reduces maintenance.When the operator pushes the button or when the limit-switch head is actuated, mechanical energy is transformed into electrical energy. This supplies the transmission of a one-time radio message to one or multiple receivers. In addition, up to 32 push buttons and/or limit-switches can be synchronized to one receiver, providing even greater mobility in any environment.

Easy to Install 

The bodies of the wireless and battery-less limit switches from Telemecanique Sensors have been designed to fit in extremely compact areas. The new, miniature version of the switch (XCMW) is compatible with proven Limit Switches like the XCKS and XCKM lines from Telemecanique Sensors. To further simplify the installation process, both the original EN50041 format and the miniature format versions come in plug-and-play kits and are offered in out-of-the-box compatible packs comprising the transmitter and a receiver.

Green and Energy Saving 

The self-powered technology of XC Wireless and battery-less Limit Switches from Telemecanique Sensors eliminates battery replacement, battery recycling, and reduces raw materials. The wireless technology of XC Wireless and battery-less Limit Switches also eliminates cables and other materials necessary to connect power to the switch. 

XC Limit Switches from Telemecanique Sensors are available with a comprehensive range of actuation heads. Pairing the transmitter to the receiver is an easy, quick, 4-step process that takes only a few minutes. Receivers are available in two types: a basic digital receiver for local control or an Ethernet TCP/IP gateway receiver for remote monitoring. 

Finally, XC Wireless and battery-less Limit Switches from Telemecanique Sensors have a 100m (328 ft.) wireless communication range. That range can be doubled with a dedicated antenna.

Phoenix Contact UBAL Series

Introducing Phoenix Contact's UBAL terminal series: Aluminum conductors and copper wires can be used in UBAL universal terminal blocks. Pre-lubricated contact cavities simplify the connection of aluminum conductors and ensure that no maintenance is required for the screw connection. Optimum conductor connection is achieved with these blocks, as each block is equipped with Allen screws that allow for high-tightening torque to be applied to the screw. 

When connecting aluminum conductors, there are a few guidelines that must be followed. Aluminum begins oxidizing immediately when exposed to oxygen, so the oxide layer must be removed before installation, as it is very hard and non-conductive. A step-by-step preparation list can be found at the end of this document. 

For aluminum conductors, according to IEC 60228, there are only two types of wires that fall into Class 1 (solid), and Class 2 (stranded).
