Optocouplers fulfil PSU designers' wish lists
Compact phototransistor optocouplers are well suited for use in DC/DC convertors, battery chargers, general-purpose switching circuits and programmable controllers.
Typical applications include wood, wood products, flour production, plastics machining, and graphite fibre production.
For more unique and demanding applications, dustproof motors can be combined with radiation hardened, waterproof and extended temperature environmental options.
Dustproof motors are pressure rated to 15psi to lock out contamination.
They include seals that eliminate dust leaks at penetration points and provide features for pressurisation.
An extended temperature option provides insulation that allows operation at temperatures up to 145C.
Dustproof motors are available in industry standard 23, 34, 42 and 65 frame sizes.
