SIM drive couplings are now available in our line of mechanical power transmission products. SIM drive couplings are used to couple the shafts of various mechanical devices, often of different sizes and to compensate for shaft misalignment. Styles include: Jaw/Spider couplings that offer a wide range of fitment and higher torque; Oldham couplings for higher speed ratings and that allow for a higher misalignment of mated shafts; servo beam style couplings add a significant increase to speed rating and have zero backlash; high-gain couplings offer the highest speed ratings, excellent vibration absorption, and zero backlash. These SIM drive couplings have a 1-year warranty.

Thermal Edge | Why Custom Often Isn’t Necessary for an Electrical Enclosure Cooling System

6/16/2021

The market for custom cabinet or enclosure air conditioners is growing as applications become more unique, such as pole mounted heavily loaded electrical cabinets, mobile equipment, and electrical control panels in dusty areas with intense solar radiation.

The use of customized cabinet cooling systems sometimes leads to a number of issues including reliability. The assumption that a customized electrical cabinet needs a custom cabinet cooling solution is not necessarily correct.

New ProSense multi-mode and off-delay timer relays offer the flexible programmability of a multi-function and multi-range time delay relay together with a universal input voltage. The TRM series multi-mode timer relays provide an easy way to select time delay functions and time range options. Available models offer timing functions up to 10,230 hours, with various power supply ratings. The TRS-TD series off-delay timer relay replaces the functionality of bulky, costly and inaccurate pneumatic time-delay relays and does not require a trigger switch or application of continuous input voltage. The onboard power source keeps the logic circuit and relay energized during the off-delay period. Available models provide up to eight selectable timing modes up to 30 minutes.

AutomationDirect has added more choices to our offering of Murrplastik cable entry systems. The addition of the KDL/D MONO series cable entry system provides the same benefits as the existing KDL/D series in a round frame form. This series allows a cable to be installed through an enclosure or other bulkhead surfaces, with the added benefit that pre-made, terminated cables can be installed without disassembling the connectors. The newly added KDP/X cable entry system allows for a high density of non-terminated cables to be installed through a small area of an enclosure or other bulkhead surfaces.
