EQUIPMENT & SERVICES << ADJUSTABLE SPEED APPLICATIONS GAIN BRUSHLESS TECHNOLOGY This series of controls and servo motors is designed to provide the advantages and benefits of brushless technology for adjustable speed applications, i.e., less maintenance, quieter operation, greater efficiency and higher torques in smaller packages. The BMC-series has models available from ¼ through 3 hp. The brushless DC motors, BSM25 and BSM33, come with NEMA mountings from ¼ through 3 hp at 1,800 rpm. It’s possible to retrofit equipment like conveyors, mixers, etc., to this brushless technology. Baldor Electric Co. (479) 646-4711 www.baldor.com GAUGE ELIMINATES COATING THICKNESS FROM READINGS Making precise wall and coating thickness measurements is said to be fast and easy using the TI-CMX or TI-CMXDL (data-logging) ultrasonic thickness gauges. Both models quickly and accurately measure coating and wall thickness — from only one side. They also automatically measure and eliminate any coating from wall thickness measurements, allowing users to locate the finest corrosion and pitting — without removing the coating. The TI-CMXDL Data-Logging model adds builtin memory with RS-232 output for transferring data to a printer or PC. It also includes free Datacomm Data Transfer & Analysis Software and an RS-232 cable. Electromatic Equipment Co. Inc. (800) 645-4330 www.checkline.com SYSTEMS ADDRESS COMPLIANCE WITH EPA MACT These particulate-emissions optimization and compliance systems are available for baghouses, fabric filters and larger cartridge-style dust collectors. Systems range from a basic EPA MACT particulate-emissions compliance system to full optimization and compliance systems that integrate maintenance and process control optimization with all EPA MACT compliance parameters and reporting. The optimization and compliance solutions are comprised of sensors, diagnostic controls, HMI panel and optimization software. FilterSense (978) 927-4304 www.filtersense.com PRESSURE TRANSMITTER SUITS HAZARDOUS SERVICE The Model 121 provides a simple, low-cost loop-powered 8–28-Vdc two-wire 4–20-mA transmitter. The unit features a ½-in. NPT interface with an easy-to-wire industrial terminal strip and a removable cover. Accuracy is +2% from 20% to 100% of full scale. Temperature operating range is -20°F to 150°F (-20°C to 65°C). Model 121 also has a push-button zero reset feature. It’s available in aluminum or 316 S.S. pressure housing with 316 S.S. and ceramic internal parts. Safe working pressure is 6,000 PSIG (0–400 bar) Units are available in different pressure ranges from 0–5 PSID (0–3 bar) to 0–-110 PSID (0-7 bar).
