New motor mount encoder helps reduce downtime
The new Dynapar HSD35 motor-mount encoder is designed to reduce large motor downtime via a shaft seal, unbreakable code disk, and optional redundant outputs.
The new encoder uses optical technology combined with field serviceable connectors.
Mounting options include stamped metal or swivel ball tethers for TEFC or C-face mounting.
The encoder replaces the firm’s NorthStar MagCoder. The HSD35 incorporates a field-serviceable EPIC connector requiring no special tools or soldering irons for connection-a simple slotted screwdriver is all that’s needed, the firm notes. Conduit or cable can be wired directly to the encoder via ½-in. NPT connection.
Overall rating of the unit is IP65/NEMA 4, and the shaft seals are proved to the more stringent IP67, the company points out. A sister product, the HS35 encoder, is rated to the full IP67 rating. Use of the included back-end shaft cover and mating gasket helps make the unit even more resistant to contamination.
The HSD35 uses an unbreakable disk made of a highly engineered plastic, currently offered on the 2048 PPR resolution model. Lower resolution models use an unbreakable metal disk.

New wireless integrated pressure switch, receiver
The Meriam/ADALET wireless integrated pressure switch and receiver has been added to this firm’s line of electrical enclosure, instrumentation, and accessory products.
The wireless system is suited for pressure measurement applications such as tank levels, power generation, process control, flow monitoring, and pipelines. The system utilizes license-free frequency hopping spread spectrum technology, as well as AES encryption, to protect data integrity with a secure and accurate signal.
The integrated pressure switch’s transmitter, contained in a transparent polycarbonate antenna dome, provides unhindered data transmission as far as 3,000 ft. With as much as 500 mW of transmission power available, the switch is powerful enough for applications that require constant monitoring, the company says.
