Winco, Inc., recently announced GN 417 Metric Size Zinc Die-Cast Indexing Plunger Latch Mechanisms with Rest Posi- tion. The RoHS compliant indexing plunger latch mechanisms are used for applications where the plunger has to stay in its retracted position. To achieve this, the knob is rotated by 90 degrees after being retracted, as a notch keeps the plunger in this position. The design of the holes / slots allows for fixed or adjustable mounting of the latch mechanism base onto Tub- ing or T-slot aluminum structures. A receptacle for the Index- ing Plunger Latch Pin with adjustable slots in the base is also available upon request.

The C80 Series CNC controller made its European public debut at the SPS IPC Drives show in Nuremberg, Germany, 22-24 No- vember, 2016 on Stand 391 in Hall 7. The most important feature of the C80 CNC CPU module and iQ-R PLC combination according to Key Account Manager Freder- ik Gesthuysen, is the facility to manage complex production lines with a single control platform. “The advantages of integrating a powerful CNC controller with our most advanced modular PLC, the iQ-R, is clearly the performance gain you get from having both devices communicating via a high speed bus; together they are able to coordinate and manage a complete production line from

the robots and machine tools to the HMIs and overhead displays. Fast data management and perfectly synchronous operation not only speeds up production, but can improve quality and allow for more operations to be packed into a smaller space, both of which will increase profitability,” he said. This is a major advantage for the end user, but the benefit for automation system designers and installers is just as great: using one programming platform and components that are designed to work together completely removes any compatibility issues with using controllers from multiple ven- dors. The C80 CNC and iQ-R PLC offer a range of benefits for automotive industry, where the original development work was carried out. Where there are other gains to be made however is with other complex automated manufacturing applications that would otherwise have employed several different CNC solutions and controllers. Configured with up to 3 CPUs (21 part systems and 48 axes) for example, the C80 is capable of controlling highly complex machines.

The bearings become one of the critical rail wagon components that influence the overall reliability of the system.” Timken recognized that the current roller bearing design could be enhanced and introduced the AP-2 Short G bearing concept. “Timken developed an AP-2 bearing design with internal geometry specifically designed to reduce bearing torque and increase bearing load rating while maintaining the same envelope space as the currently used “short” G bearing. This bearing provides greater levels of performance and reliability, while allowing operators to continue using the existing bogie, side frame, and wheelset,” Buchanan added.

RW_PTE_FullPage_round2.indd 1 4/21/13 10:43 AM FEATURE Eight Reasons to Use Air Bearings Over Mechanical Bearings PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P.

Frictionless, High Precision Motion 1.A direct-drive motor and high-resolution encoder can position a moving carriage supported by an air bearing to within nanometers in a linear application or within tenths of arc-seconds in rotational applications. The lack of friction and mechanical contact means there is minimal hysteresis or reversal error, making it highly repeatable and ideal for many inspection and manufacturing operations. Stiction is virtually eliminated, improving resolution capabilities and reducing in-position “hunting“ (limit cycling), and position repeatability can be obtained within a few fundamental encoder counts. Similar precision can be obtained by piezo flexure guided stages, however over much smaller travel ranges. Magnetic levitation is another option. Air bearings provide advantages over mechanical bearings when vibration-free motion is required.

Mechanical guiding systems, such as crossed- roller bearings, work well for most motion control applications; however, when precision, angular repeatability, and geometric performance (runout, straightness…) are critical or where submicron bearing rumble is problem- atic, air bearings are recommended. An air-bearing stage is a rotary or linear positioner that floats on a cush- ion of air, using one of several preload mechanisms, nearly eliminating mechanical contact and thus wear, friction, and hysteresis effects. Here are eight reasons why an air-bearing How planar air bearing stages work stage might be the right choice for your application: Highly Constant Velocity and High 2. Scanning Speeds The lack of mechanical bearing elements means there is nothing to get in the way of smooth, controlled velocity (sta- bility to better than 0.01 percent). Experiments and processes like inertial sensor testing, tomography, wafer scanning, and surface profiling require continuous motion at tightly controlled speeds are best served by air-bearing systems.

Low-Speed Operation Synchronous drives are especially well-suited for low-speed, high-torque applications. Their positive driving nature prevents potential slippage associ- ated with V-belt drives, and even allows significantly greater torque carrying capability. Small pitch synchronous drives operating at speeds of 50 ft/min (0.25 m/s) or less are considered to be low-speed. Care should be taken in the drive selection process as stall and peak torques can sometimes be very high. While intermittent peak torques can often be carried by synchronous drives without special considerations, high cyclic peak torque loading should be carefully reviewed. Proper belt installation tension and rigid drive bracketry and framework are essential in preventing belt tooth jumping under peak torque loads. It is also helpful to design with more than the normal minimum of six belt teeth in mesh to ensure adequate belt tooth shear strength.

Static Conductivity Small synchronous rubber or urethane belts can generate an electrical charge while operating on a drive. Factors such as humidity and operating speed influence the potential of the charge. If determined to be a problem, rubber belts can be produced in a conductive construction in order to dissipate the charge into the pulleys and to ground. This prevents the accumulation of electrical charges that might be detrimental to material handling processes or sensitive electronics.

Torque loads. Sometimes while in operation a synchronous belt will move laterally from side to side on the pulleys, rather than operating in a consistent position. While not generally considered to be a significant concern, one explanation for this is varying torque loads within the drive. Synchronous belts sometimes track differently with changing loads.

DECEMBER 2016 Power Transmission Engineering 71 TECHNICAL Baldor Basics: Motors Edward Cowern, P.E.

Beginning with this initial installment — and with the gracious permission of ABB/Baldor Electric — we are pleased to announce the beginning of a new series — Baldor Basics: Motors. This is a collection of basics- driven, motor-intensive articles authored by former Baldor engineer Edward Cowern, PE — a respected name by many in the electric motor industry. During his tenure at Baldor, Cowern — now enjoying his retirement — was tasked with producing a number of motor- and basics-related tutorials, primarily in response to a steady flow of customer questions regarding motors. Today’s customers continue to ask questions and seek answers to address their various motor-related issues. As with Cowern’s original introduction to the series, we hope you find these articles useful and would appreciate any comments or thoughts you might have for future improvements, corrections or topics. — The Editors

Capacitor motors are the most popular single-phase motors. They are used in many agricultural, commercial and industrial applications where 3-phase power is not available. Capacitor motors are available in sizes from sub-fractional to 15 HP.

This time delay, coupled with the physical location of the starting winding, causes the field around the rotor to move and start the motor. A centrifugal switch or other device disconnects the starting winding when the motor reaches approximately 75% of rated speed. The motor continues to run on normal induction motor principles. 1 1 Split-phase motors are generally available from ⁄25 to ⁄2 HP. Their main advantage is low cost. Their disadvantages are low starting torque and high starting current. These disad-

This moderately priced motor produces relatively high starting torque (225 to 400% of full-load torque) with moderate inrush current. Capacitor start motors are ideal for hard to start loads such as refrigeration compressors. Due to its other desirable characteristics, it is also used in applications where Figure 2 The split-phase motor has two separate windings in the stator.

The two-value capacitor fans, and blowers falls off dramatically as speed is reduced, motor is utilized in large horsepower (5-15 HP) single-phase speed reduction below 40% of base speed is rarely required. motors (Fig. 4). This naturally leads to the question — “What is meant by high-quality, conservative designs?” Basically, this means that the motor must have phase insulation, should operate at a relatively low temperature rise (as in the case with most premium efficiency motors), and should use a high class of insulation (either F or H). In addition, it is frequently desirable to have a winding thermostat in the motor that will detect any motor overheat conditions that may occur. Overheating could result from overload, high ambient temperature, or loss of ventilation. Inverter duty motors being offered in the marketplace today incorporate “premium efficiency” designs along with oversized frames or external blowers to cool the motor, regardless of its speed. These motors are primarily designed for constant torque loads where the affinity laws do not apply. In- verter duty motors usually have winding thermostats that shut the motor down through the AFD control circuit in case of elevated temperature inside the motor. Inverter duty motors also have high-temperature insulating materials operated at lower temperatures. This reduces the stress on the insulation system. Although some of the design features of inverter duty Figure 4 The two valve capacitor motor is used in large horsepower motors are desirable for HVAC applications, HVAC applica- single phase motors. tions usually do not require inverter duty motors.

However, the overwhelming majority of applications currently in use are operated by motors and pumps running at a constant speed. Take, for instance, hydraulic power units which now are typically constructed from inexpensive, asynchronous motors, motor starters and fixed-displacement pumps — all of which require relatively small investment. And yet they consume a large amount of energy, given that the overall hydraulic power unit is designed to support the maximum pressure and volume flow required. Energy is wasted because it delivers this maximum output — whether application-driven or not. In addition, heat inflow into the hydraulic fluid via the constantly operating pump is high, so additional cooling capacity is required. To increase the energy efficiency of such a system, the fundamental approach is to operate the main pump of the machine at variable speed. Thus, only the required power is made available to the system whenever needed. Figure 1 The machine model jointly developed by Eaton and solution partner ATP Hydraulik is based on three different drive concepts and demonstrates potential energy efficiency gains.

Eaton has also confirmed this saving potential in practice as part of a retrofit measure on a 20-year-old, 50 t injection molding machine. To date, their hydraulic unit has been constantly driven with a conventional 15 kW asynchronous motor. The volume flow of the pump is mechanically controlled; even at low-volume flow, the motor drives the pump at a constant speed of 1,500 revolutions and so consumes large amounts of energy. This drive was upgraded using a variable frequency drive (Eaton PowerXL DA1), a permanent magnet motor Figure 2 Through integration of an intelligent wiring and communication system, the hydraulic power unit is already IoT-ready, meaning that mechanical engineers and and an axial piston pump (Eaton 425 piston end users can, regardless of location, obtain an up-to-date, detailed overview of all pump).

Earthquake Protection Systems is using giant bearings to make buildings more resilient to earthquake damage. Alex Cannella, News Editor

According to a FEMA study back in 2000, America suffers $4.4 billion in losses due to earthquakes every year. While that’s a drop in the bucket for our $16 trillion plus GDP, it’s still a substantial amount of money, and some people are working to lessen those losses. One group is Earthquake Protection Systems (EPS), a company that is designing bearings to better protect buildings from earthquake damage. damage a building, the bearings allow the building’s founda- According to EPS Vice President, Dr. Anoop Mokha, stan- tion to physically move back and forth like a pendulum, find- dard building regulations are inherently flawed, as they insist ing an outlet to expend otherwise damaging levels of force. that a building be capable of remaining standing during an EPS’s newest product, the Triple Pendulum Bearing, takes earthquake, but say little about what state the building needs it a step further, with three different bearings in a single to be in beyond that. This means that while we’ve gotten pretty product all designed to resist different magnitudes of earth- good at making sure buildings don’t collapse and hurt people quakes. The bearings activate sequentially, so that only one during earthquakes, there’s still a high number of buildings bearing is active at any given time, but each bearing is ideally that are being crippled and rendered derelict by them. As an suited to different magnitude earthquakes, and when one example, Mokha pointed to an earthquake that happened in bearing’s ability to resist the earthquake is overloaded, the New Zealand in 2010. Only two buildings collapsed during the next bearing immediately takes over. quake, but the event still left 70 percent of affected buildings “If the earthquake is weak, the bearing is weak,” Mokha said. so badly damaged that they had to be torn down. “If the earthquake gets stronger, the bearing gets stronger.” According to Mokha, products like the Triple Pendulum Bearing are fairly standard in Japan, where earthquakes are a constant hazard, but are still only just catching on worldwide as an effective countermeasure for earthquakes. Mokha esti- mates that previously, only about 10 percent of buildings in the U.S. used a pendulum bearing or equivalent product, but that in recent years, that number may have risen as high as 15 or 20 percent and is still growing. “What Elon Musk did with the electric car in the automotive industry, and now everyone is realizing the benefits...I believe we have crossed that threshold now, where people are realizing the benefits,” Mokha said. EPS’ bearings protect over $20 billion worth of construction today and are installed in 30 countries. They are present Ever since the company first opened its doors in 1985, in high-profile buildings such as the San Francisco Airport EPS has been working to reverse that trend with a product Terminal, the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, Calif. they call a friction pendulum bearing, which is designed to and Pasadena’s city hall and are used in many infrastructure not only keep buildings standing after an earthquake, but to projects such as bridges and viaducts. keep them operable and livable.

This means that when an earthquake’s force would otherwise
