Crouzet DCmind Brush Motors - Product of the Year 2013

March 2014, the 40,000 technical and scientific readers of the American magazine Medical Design Briefs voted the DCmind Brush range of DC motors Product of the Year 2013. DCMind  Brush motors were selected for their outstanding technical merit and practical value.

DCmind Brush motors are incredibly quiet, even at full load, offer excellent efficiency and an exceptional service life, and have an extensive range of gearboxes and accessories. The low noise level (35 dB) of DCmind Brush motors makes them particularly suitable for the medical and biopharmaceutical sectors, as well as laboratories, industry and office equipment and systems. They can also be used in many other high performance applications such as pumps and valves, and also in the railway, military and aeronautical fields.

“The new DCmind Brush motor generation adds a uniquely differentiated premium product to our current offering”, says John Morehead, Crouzet Motors US National Sales Manager. “With its remarkably quiet operation, quality design and manufacturing, it greatly expands our application reach. Additionally, Crouzet’s eco-design strategy has cut the environmental impact of the product’s overall life cycle in half while at the same time improving the product’s
energy efficiencies.”

It is this extraordinary performance that won over the readers of Medical Design Briefs and made DCmind Brush the Product of the Year 2013.

The PSE HI (high impact) switches can now be delivered with raised symbols, letters and numbers in addition to various colors, or legend inscriptions. The switch surface is made of anodized aluminium, which can be pre-formed with raised symbols to provide long-term wear and excellent user haptics.

The aluminium surface of the PSE HI switches can be produced in various anodized colors. A variety of standard legends and/or raised symbols are offered to indicate function. The laser etched legends or pre-formed raised symbols provide long-term protection against wear. Raised symbols can be numbers, as well as characters from the Braille alphabet. These flexible design options make it possible to offer a wide variety of standard or custom options to meet individual design requirements.

The PSE HI piezo switches have an ingress protection class rating of IP67. The hermetic seal makes the switches ideal for use in areas that must be regularly cleaned or disinfected. Additionally, the switches offer a robust metal housing, well suited for use in harsh environments where there exists the potential for vandalism. The impact resistance according to DIN EN 50102 is IK06.

The PSE HI piezo switch is rated 0.1A @ 42 VAC/60 VDC. The piezo switching element offers an exceptionally long service life of more than 20 million switching cycles. Typical applications requiring such robust switch performance include pedestrian crossing walks, elevators, truck lifts, material-handling equipment, safety equipment, ticketing terminals, gas stations, food service equipment and processing plants.

Technical Data:
- PSE HI piezo switch 0.1A 42VAC/60VDC
- Standard symbols, custom symbols, laser-etched, raised shapes, various colors
- Service life at rated switching capacity > 20 million switching cycles
- Protection class IK06 (DIN EN 50102), IP67 (DIN 60529)

Schurter is merging its expertise in the area of robust metal switches with reliable circuit breakers into a unique product: the T12-MSM is the first circuit breaker on the market that is extremely attractive from a visual standpoint. With its extraordinary actuating appeal, the T12-MSM need not be used as just another switch to be hidden on the rear of the equipment; rather it can be stylishly displayed on the front.

Schurter combines its circuit breakers with thermal operation (T12) and thermal-magnetic operation (TM12) with its MSM series metal switches. The T12-MSM, creates a market innovation that marries overcurrent protection with an attractive pushbutton design. The MSM switches are characterized by their visual appeal and operating characteristics. Both the housing and the actuator are fabricated from high-quality stainless steel, and there are a variety of design options including size, color, lighting and inscription.

The T12 and TM12 are reliable circuit breakers with positive trip-free operation. The contacts open even if the reset button is manually held in the closed position. They reliably protect equipment with rated currents from 50 mA to 16 A. The optional magnetic release, protects against increased risk of short circuits.

The combination of the T12 circuit breaker and the MSM switch now unites all these features in product that is also extremely robust. With a vandal-proof design, IP 64 tightness protection and IK 07 impact resistance, the T12-MSM is also suited for outdoor applications and use in harsh environments. Additionally, the look and feel is novel for a circuit breaker and stands out among other circuit breakers as a true designer piece, suitable for mounting on the front side of the equipment, where an appealing design is paramount. The T12-MSM offers unprecedented product-design opportunities for applications where moderate overcurrents can occur. Among its wide range of possible uses are applications requiring electromechanical shielding, outdoor applications, and especially applications with electric motors.
