MSS Miniature Electromagnet Meets Holding Force and Duty Cycle Requirements

Magnetic Sensor Systems (MSS) has released a series of low-cost miniature electromagnets. Their E-66-38 Series Tubular Electromagnets is just 0.38 inches in diameter and 0.66 inches in length. To match the duty cycle and holding force requirements of a specific application, E-66-38 Series Electromagnets are available with16 different windings to select from. Depending on the application, the duty cycle, and the required holding force, the electromagnets in this series can supply up to 26 oz. (7.2 N) of holding force and duty cycles can range from 100 percent (continuously on) to 10 percent.

Upgrading Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers (ACHE) and Cooling Towers

Many industrial facilities with air-cooled heat exchangers (ACHE) and cooling towers often have older units installed. Depending on the age, repairs, and maintenance done over the years it may have had an impact on performance. Upon conducting site inspections of the equipment, it is sometimes found that ACHE or cooling tower components have degraded. This can result in a system that is not very energy-efficient and delivers substandard cooling performance.

Bearing Lubricant Solution

A Chicago-area bakery was replacing the tray support bearings in its ovens on a reactionary basis. Their weekly inspection cycle was resulting in two mechanics spending an average of 20 labor hours per week to replace failed bearings. The premature bearing failures were caused by a combination of the high heat and humidity in the ovens, resulting in lubrication failure and contamination. When BDI was asked to recommend a solution, the bakery was averaging one month of bearing life in this application.

Here’s what we know about Tremont, Illinois: It’s a small village in Tazewell County, (population 2,400+), holds an annual summer turkey festival (quite popular) and the courthouse is a famous historic site where politician James Shields challenged an “up-and-coming” lawyer named Abraham Lincoln to a duel with cavalry broad swords (they showed up, but the duel never materialized). In 2016, you can add FIRST Robotics Competition World Champion to the village’s rather eccentric list of accomplishments.
