Sloped-Top Stainless Steel Disconnects Now Offer Control Switch from Mennekes

DCS MENNEKE Sloped Top Stainless Steel Disconnects 1 400

March 1, 2022

In MENNEKES’ last blog post, they discussed their non-metallic, curved-top CDS disconnect switches with an optional three-position selector switch, saving valuable installation space, reducing parts and improving safety for maintenance personnel. These same features and benefits also extend to their sloped-top stainless steel motor disconnects, which incorporate a 15-degree sloped roof to facilitate liquid run-off in washdown applications.

The HAND-OFF-AUTO (HOA) selector switch option is available in their SLP stainless steel motor disconnect program with 30A to 100A ratings. Adding this control switch option improves safety for maintenance personnel, while the stainless steel enclosure offers robust impact resistance in high traffic areas.

The new HOA switch is just one of the many features you can expect with MENNEKES stainless motor disconnects. These units also include the following:

  • •UL Type 4X; 12; IP69K environmental ratings.
  • •Removable cover with captive hardware.
  • •External mounting feet or optional internal mounting with sealing caps.
  • •SCCR: 65kA RMS symmetrical (when protected with Class J Fuse).
  • •Generous drainage channel to prevent harborage of contaminants.
  • •Rugged, UV-resistant handle complies with OSHA LO/TO regulations.
  • •In-house endurance testing to 10,000 (electrical) and 100,000 (mechanical) cycles.

DCS Easylaser Now Presenting XT20 andXT22 User Friendly Precision Laser 1 400

Now Presenting Easy-Laser® XT20 and XT22 – A User-Friendly Precision Laser Transmitters Ever Designed!

 

 One of the most important things during a machine installation is to ensure the flatness of the base. With the new XT20 and XT22 we have facilitated handling, which makes for faster measurements and fewer fault sources. More reliable machine installation, put simply. Both transmitters can be used for flatness and straightness measurement. In addition, the XT22 can direct the laser beam at 90 degrees to the laser plane, which means you can solve virtually all types of geometric measurement jobs. The area of use therefore does not stop at measuring the flatness of bases. The XT22 also has a higher technical specification for straightness thanks to fiber laser technology, and can take measurements at distances up to 40 m. The XT20 can take measurements at distances up to 20m but is also IP55 rated water and dust proof.
