Small. Smaller. DIMENSION CP5 At only 32 mm wide, the CP5.241 is the slimmest 24V, 5A DIN rail power supply on the market. It is on average 30% narrower than its competitors.

Industrial power supply systems are increasingly moving towards decentralised units. The 102 mm depth allows the CP5 to be easily installed in smaller protective housings closer to the load.

In addition to its space-saving design, the CP5 also has an impressively long lifetime of 166,000 hours and a high level of 94.3% efficiency.

A total of five different variants of the CP5 are available, including versions with push-in terminals, conformal coating and extended DC-input.

SIMPLICITY AT ITS LEVEL BEST! The LPM level switch is reliable, robust and has been constructed to control the storage of dusts, granules and solid products.

The LPM system is composed of a rotating shaft driven by a synchronous gear motor at low speed. When a material stops the rotation of the blades, this will cut off the power supply to the geared motor and an electric changeover contact is actuated.

• An alarm signal can be applied when conveyor belts stop suddenly • Control of powder or granular material • Stainless steel shaft with sealed self-lubricating bearings • Flanged or threaded connection • Housing in aluminium or stainless steel • IP65 protection For more information Contact: Jon Vanham 0116 214 5267 Email: jon.vanham@oem.co.uk

Low pressure differential gauge

The PFD WinAIR from Winters is a resistance free, low pressure, differential gauge suitable for air and non-corrosive gas installations to detect positive, vacuum or differential pressure.

Applications include industrial air driers, dust collection, fume hoods, filters, blowers, air handlers and clean rooms.

The PFD has a large 100 mm diameter and simple access to the re-zero screw on the front dial. The case is made from industrial grade die-cast aluminium to withstand shock and vibration whilst also offering a broad temperature range able to handle ambient temperatures as low -40°C. The pressure range starts at 0.25” H2O and goes up to 150” H2O including other pressure scale options such as mm H2O, psi and pascal. Two sets of pressure inlets are located on the side and back of the case making installation easy for existing or new equipment.

Are you satisfied with your pushbuttons?

Baco pushbuttons with customised markings were recently used to solve a customer satisfaction feedback application.

Different coloured pushbuttons were printed with the now familiar smiley faces and installed in a standard 3 hole control station along with the contact blocks.

Baco can custom mark many of their devices including pushbuttons, mushroom heads and control stations. There is almost no limit as to what can be printed. Text can be used but symbols are often easier to understand internationally regardless of language, ideal if your equipment is exported outside the UK. We don’t impose large minimum order quantities and can offer a relatively quick lead time on customised specials. Please contact us with your ideas and we will help you find the best solution.

Rope pull switches with patented tensioner/gripper IDEM Guardian Line safety rope pull switches are designed to be mounted on machines and sections of conveyors which cannot be protected by guards.

In contrast to traditional mushroom head emergency stop buttons, safety rope pull switches can initiate the emergency stop command from any point along the installed rope length.

This provides robust emergency stop rope pull protection for the entire length of the exposed conveyor or machine.

The Guardian Line can also be supplied with the following options: • Mushroom type emergency stop button • Bi-Colour high visibility LED to show status from long distance • • Reset button • Stainless steel IP69K versions •Explosion proof versions • Low temperature versions (-40° C) •

Reset button The blue button must be pushed to reset the switch following activation by pulling or slackening of the rope

Indicator LED Can be wired to flash RED in the event of the rope being pulled - switch activated or illuminate steady GREEN to indicate a reset switch in machine ’RUN’ state. Visible from long distances

Tension indicator Ensures the system is easy to set up and maintain the correct rope tension

Mushroom type emergency stop button Can be installed or repositioned left or right after installation

LOOKING FOR A BETTER FIT? The new KDS-FP flange plate provides a flexible, cost-effective and convenient IP66 cable entry system solution for up to 120 pre-wired cables.

It can be used on machine and switchgear cabinets and has the flexibility to accommodate

any updated wiring requirements at any time.

This eliminates the need to stock enclosures with different cut-out configurations; instead your products can be prepared with the flange plate and then adapted to your specific cabling or tubing needs.

1 Flange plate The flange plate is available in 2 variants; KDS-FP-2x10/24 (up to 20 feed-through openings) KDS-FP-3x10/24 (up to 30 feed-through openings) By screwing the flange plate on the outside of the cabinet, the break-out is completely sealed according to IP66.

On the closed flange plates, there are two or three cover segments with pre-determined breaking points; these can be pushed out (without tools) which then opens up a 40 x 110 mm feed-through opening.

The click-in KDSClick frame inlays can be used to subdivide this opening in up to ten appropriately sized frame openings.

2 Inlays The click-in inlays enable you to configure the number and type of cable entries to match various requirements (for cables, lines, tubing, pneumatic and hydraulic lines).

3 Seals The conical shape of the seal makes it easy to press in. This also reliably seals the gaps to IP66 and ensures strain relief in accordance with DIN EN 62444. Their wave-cut profile makes them easy to install and ensures a perfect fit around the cables. There are currently over 90 different seals that can be used for sealing cables of various diameters and sizes.
