Stainless Steel General-Purpose AC Motors Added to IronHorse Line
The IronHorse™ general purpose AC motor line now includes stainless steel three-phase motors available in horsepower ranges from 0.33 to 2 hp. Motors are available in speeds of 1800 and 3600 RPM and are electrically reversible.
The three-phase industrial duty 56C-frame TEFC motors, priced from $275, feature 304 stainless steel frames and stainless steel shafts. IP56-rated, they are equipped with a large easy-to-wire junction box with fluorinated silicone rubber gasket and include a pre-installed IP66 gland. These NEMA design B motors are available with or without mounting feet and can be mounted in any orientation, horizontal or vertical, as long as the drain plugs are installed in the two lower locations. The stainless steel series is CSA-certified, and is designed for washdown applications as well as being ideal for applications such as conveyors, fans, gear reducers, and pumps.
The new IronHorse stainless steel motors are available for same-day shipping and are backed by a one-year warranty. View the IronHorse stainless steel motors now
Our ultrasonic sensor offering now includes additional18mm round plastic DC models. The UK1 series are IP67 rated sensors with a 15 to 30VDC operating range and are fitted with an M12 quick-disconnect. The UK1 series offers six different output types: single PNP, Dual PNP, 4-20 mA only, 0-10V only, PNP and 0-10V, and PNP and 4-20 mA. Models are available in four different sensing ranges: 50-400mm, 100-900mm, 150-1,600mm, and 200-2,200mm. The sensors are equipped with LED status indicators and a push-button teach feature for configuration of normally-open and normally-closed states for DC output models and for adjustable sensitivity on analog output models. Backed with a lifetime warranty, the UK1 series is cULus, CE and RoHS approved and prices start at $99. Click here to see the full selection.
Dold safety speed relay modules have been added to our line of safety products.
The BH5932 speed monitor relay module is designed to monitor two sensor inputs that are detecting rotating targets on a motor shaft. This monitor relay features two-channel operation and can be used for standstill and overspeed monitoring of three-phase motors. When used as a standstill monitor, a switch point is set just above the "safe" or normal operating speed. When motor speed rises above this setting, the relay opens to protect against motor damage. The BH5932 relay module has an adjustable impulse-per-minute (IPM) range of 10 to 20,000 IPM, LED status indicators, two PNP sensor inputs, and two normally-open and one normally-closed positive-guided contacts. Available for 24VDC, 120VAC, and 230VAC supply voltages, prices start at $279.
The LH5946 standstill monitor relay module provides safe standstill detection on single-phase and three-phase motors (up to 690V) by monitoring remanence voltage without external sensors. The monitor relay modules are designed with broken wire detection and provide three normally-open and one normally-closed positive-guided safety contacts. Available in adjustable 20 to 400mV and 0.2 to 4V voltage response ranges, standstill monitor relay modules are equipped with LED status indicators and adjustable time delay; semi conductor outputs monitor relay state. Available for 24VDC, 120VAC, and 230VAC supply voltages, prices start at $349.
Safety speed relay modules are cULus, CE, and RoHS approved and are backed with a one-year warranty. Click here for more information.

Across the country, school is back in session for just about everyone. That means it's time to buy all the necessary supplies, clothes, etcetera, to be fully prepared for class. That also means many young men across this great land will be making that dreaded trip to get their hair trimmed.
With that in mind, I saw this recently on Facebook:
A minister's son had just gotten his driving permit. He asked his father if they could discuss the use of the car.
His father took him into his study and said, "I'll make a deal with you. You bring your grades up, study your Bible a little and get your haircut, then we'll talk about it."
About a month later, the boy came back and again asked his father if they could discuss use of the car.
Again, they went into his father's study where his father said, "Son, I've been real proud of you. You have brought your grades up and you've studied your Bible diligently. However, you haven't gotten your hair cut."
The young man paused a moment and replied, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that. You know, Samson had long hair, Moses had long hair, Noah had long hair, and even Jesus had long hair."
The boy's father replied, "Yes, and they walked everywhere they went!"
