Economic and efficient filter cleaning Asco NUMATIC Piston Cartridge technology provides the market’s fastest and powerful air pulse, while it consumes minimal air volume.

Piston cartridge The new cartridge plunger provides a faster opening and a powerful air pulse.

This results in better cleaning of the filter.

More filters can be cleaned by the same valve in an efficient manner.

the Asco NUMATIC model 353 has a low and compact seat. This provides an optimal air flow path through the valve.

Low air consumption Piston cartridge technology provides a low air consumption and is thus a more economical solution. Less air consumption also reduces the noise level when the valve opens.

Quick Links Valve Series 353 is available with threaded connections as well as quick links.

These anti-rotating links provide a quick and easy connection to the pipe work without the need for threading the pipe.

Long life The design of the patented cartridge plunger gives a very long lifespan.

Tests in laboratories show that the valve can achieve 2,000,000 cycles.

Power and signal in one connector Based on the Brad® circular M12 threaded coupling design, the innovative Micro-Change® Circular Hybrid Technology (CHT) connector combines Cat5e data traffic with power lines in a small build size.

Applications: • Industrial process • Automation control • HVAC control systems • Telecoms infrastructure • Base stations

The fully shielded 4-pin array (2 shielded pairs) is enclosed by a wrap-around metal tube shield which allows for optimum signal integrity and performance. The two overlapping metal tubes channel the signal through the connector without disturbance of cross-talk and EMI (electro-magnetic interference).

Combining power and data lines into one connector reduces cabling requirements and lowers installation time and associated costs. Micro-Change® CHT connectors and cordsets are also suitable for many other rugged applications that require power and data in one device.

Features: • Four Cat5e data lines and 2 power lines carrying 12A in one connector • M12 Male to Male cordsets, M12 female receptacles • IP67-sealed interface

Customisable ATEX rated enclosures for extreme conditions As an approved ATEX partner of Ensto; we are pleased to offer this customisable range of enclosures designed to efficiently protect the enclosed components from dust, moisture, excessive heat and other hazards associated with ATEX type working environments.

Firstly there are 4 options relating to the lid that can be with or without hinges and secured using screws or a key lock. The box material is available in AISI304, AISI316 or painted mild steel with a choice of natural, brushed or plain finish. The sides can be plain or with flange. Finally the dimensions can be tailored to your exact application; just specify what you need from within the available maximum and minimum range.

The enclosure isolates any electrical connection protecting the surroundings from a potential explosion. This outstanding performance is achieved through its extremely rugged collar structure as well as its welded hinges and lugs. The enclosure’s replaceable screw inserts are mounted in hexagonal holes to avoid unintentional turning.

Some standard options are available from stock but even custom options can usually be supplied within four weeks from receipt of order.

• Suitable for Ex i, Ex e & Ex tD • Customisable size options: 150 to 1200mm height/width 90 to 400mm depth • AISI304, AISI316 or painted mild steel • Natural, brushed or plain finish • Plain sides or with flange

Large display counter now with RS232/485 interface The Codix 560 series of multifunction preset counters already offers a wealth of features including a large digit, ultra bright LED display and scrolling help texts.

The addition of an optional RS 232/485 interface means the units can now support MODBUS (RTU) or CR/LF protocol.

MODBUS allows counter data to be read out to a higher level system and can be used for production data acquisition or logging measured values. In addition some parameters can also be remotely modified over the same databus connection.

CR/LF can be used to send counter values directly to a label or printer or large display for greater visualisation.

Sendix incremental encoders – the tough option This new range is also incredibly flexible in terms of suitability for application. The 5000 series is compatible with all 58mm flange type encoders. The 5020 series performs like a larger encoder with hollow shaft sizes up to 15.87mm with stable bearings for long life.

Safety Lock™ design The Safety Lock™ design helps to avoid disk crashes and pulse loss, it also allows for installation errors and extends the encoder’s lifetime.

The overall benefit is that the Safety Lock™ helps to avoid machine downtimes and expensive repairs.

Kübler are setting the new standard with its latest generation of incremental encoders. These versatile devices deliver high performance in their tough, compact and flexible design.

The encoders come fitted with a new robust bearing structure (Safety Lock™) which protects against damage to the encoder caused by excessive load on the shaft. This can occur during installation and when in use in harsh conditions.

The Sendix® range is available in both shafted and hollow shafted options and with its compact design, the shafted encoder only needs 47mm clearance and the hollow shafted version only 37.5mm.

Key Features • Robust bearings • IP67 protection • Pulse rates up to 5000ppr • -40 - +85ºc temperature rating • Housing size of only 50mm • Various flange and fastening options

Relay socket now with bridge bar and plug-in module option The Releco miniature 2 pole relay socket S7M has been discontinued and replaced by a revised and improved version called S7C. The new S7C is fully compatible with the previous version and features a new “four point contact system” which ensures even better contact reliability.

The socket can be used with S7BB bridge bars to interlink the A2 coil common connections between adjacent sockets speeding up wiring time. Additionally there is a slot that can be used with plug-in over voltage protection modules.

The socket dimensions remain the same and each is supplied complete with two white marking labels and the orange relay retaining clip.

Power supply can operate in extreme cold temperatures The new improved Miniline 2 family includes 60W units available in both standard and extreme low temperature versions.

Electrical control panels located outdoors are subject to varied and often severe weather conditions.

During winter, low temperatures can cause real problems for electronic equipment, especially power supplies.

Many competitor units will claim to operate at low temperatures but in practice will struggle to start up due to the use of NTC resistors to control input inrush current.

The low temperature version of these units has the remarkable ability to start up and deliver full output power from an extreme cold of up to -40°C! The compact, robust, plastic housing is the same size as the old range 50W units but now with 20% more output power and for a lower price!
