ACE introduces NORTHSTAR Series HSD35 encoder

Tag : acetylene carbon black


The NorthStar brand Series HSD35 Sealed Hollow shaft encoder isdesigned for easy installation on motor or machine shafts. Itshollow shaft design eliminates the need for a flexible shaftcoupling, mounting bracket, flower pot, or flange adapter, whichreduces installation depth and also lowers total cost.

It is equipped with an unbreakable disk that resists contaminationand meets the demands of the most severe shock and vibrationgenerating processes. Its floating shaft mount and spring tethereliminate bearing loads and flexible shaft couplings to eliminatewear and maintenance.

Series HSD35 has complete electrical protection from over-voltage,reverse voltage, and output short circuits. In addition, the SeriesHSD35 is not only electrically & thermally isolated, but alsoenvironmentally sealed with shaft seals at both ends.

Series HSD35 encoders can be provided with optional hazardouslocation certification that allows use in environments stated in:Class I, Division 2, Group A: atmospheres such as acetylene; ClassI, Division 2, Group B: atmospheres such as hydrogen; Class I,Division 2, Group C: atmospheres such as ethyl ether and ethylene;Class I, Division 2, Group D: atmospheres such as acetone, ammonia,benzene, butane, cyclopropane, ethanol, gasoline, hexane, methanol,methane, natural gas, naphtha, and propane; Class II, Division 2,Groups F & G: atmospheres containing combustible carbonaceousdusts, including carbon black, charcoal, coal, or coke dusts, andcombustible dusts including flour, grain and wood.

Classifications of hazardous locations are subject to the approvalof the authority having jurisdiction. Refer to Article 500 of theNational Electrical Code (NEC) or Section 18 of the CanadianElectrical Code (CEC).
