NEW MOTORS EXTEND SERVO DRIVE SYSTEM RANGE SIEMENS IS ADDING NEW SERVO motors to its Sinamics S210 singlecable servo drive system. All motors of the servo system are connected via a single cable that combines power wires, encoder signal and brake in one line. Aimed specifically for use in the pharmaceutical and food industries, the Simotics S-1FS2 is a motor version with a stainless-steel housing and a protection rating of IP67/IP69, and high-resolution 22-bit absolute multiturn encoders. The servo motor meets all hygienic conditions and can be used for mixing and stirring, air conditioning and ventilating, dosing and filling, as well as conveying, packaging and storing a wide variety of end products in the food and beverage sector and in the pharmaceutical industry. The Simotics S-1FK2 servo planetary gearmotors complement the Sinamics S210 drive system. They are used when high cycle rates need to be achieved with a lightweight and low-inertia gear design, or when inertia matching is required to move heavy loads precisely.
The motors are ready mounted and as a unit are available in a range of gear ratios and sizes. Thermal dimensioning is achieved via the digital twin in the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Selection Tool. Finally, with the Simotics S-1FT2, Siemens is launching a servo motor that offers a range of different options for
the Sinamics S210 servo drive system. For example, encoders with a resolution of up to 26 bits improve system accuracy, and the IP67 protection rating and various motor coatings make the solution suitable for use in harsh environments. new.siemens.com/
PARTIAL DISCHARGE SENSOR ADDED TO CONDITION MONITORING SUITE THE LIFEVIEW CONDITION monitoring solution from Quartzteq, part of the Quartelec Group, offers a flexible and modular approach to evaluating the health of rotating electrical assets. Offering both online and offline monitoring options, with an assortment of sensors and modules that measure multiple parameters, the range has been enhanced further with the QRC40 sensor ATEX, IECEx and UKCA certified, for partial discharge monitoring. For high voltage machines in an Ex environment, where typical terminations are HV power cables and bushings and where partial discharge monitoring is a fundamental requirement – the LIFEVIEW sensor of choice would be the QRC Rogowski Coil.
Quarter 3 2021
Quartzteq’s QRC85 Rogowski Coil was developed to fit on machines with Euromold Terminals or around a cable with diameters of up to 85mm and to measure Partial Discharge from motor or generator windings. The new QRC40 sensor has been introduced to fit around smaller cables – with a diameter of up to 40mm. Designed for continuous use, up to 2000 A rms on the primary supply side, the QRC40 and the QRC85 both acquire the high current pulses generated by Partial Discharge from high voltage rotating machines. Each comprises two wound coils potted into aluminium casings with the casings being secured together to create a full circle enabling them to be installed around in-situ high voltage power cables and bushing, including Euromold connectors. As well as being ATEX and IECEx certified for
use in hazardous areas, both sensors have also received UKCA Certification in line with regulations post-Brexit. www.quartzelec.com
