MODEL ARCJ - NEMA “C” FACE-MOUNTED MOTOR ADAPTER KITS

FOR CONVENIENT ADAPTATION OF SENSORS & SENSING GEARS
TO GEAR CASE OR FOOT-MOUNTED NEMA “C” FACE MOTORS

DESCRIPTION

ARCJ Ring Adapters can be quickly and easily installed on foot-mounted
motors with NEMA type “C” face mount end bells, or between motor and
gear case flange.

The ARCJ ring, with integral junction box, is cast aluminum with precision
machined mounting surfaces. Kits are supplied complete with a 60-tooth
sensing gear, factory installed magnetic pickup or HESS sensor, and mounting
hardware. The maximum recommended gear speed for all kits is 5,000 RPM.
Two ARCJ ring sizes and five gear bores cover the range of motor frame sizes
as listed in the Ordering Information.

Wiring connections to the sensor are made by removing the gasketed
junction box cover. Two threaded female (½" NPT) conduit connections are
provided for right or left conduit entry (as shown in the Dimension drawing).
A threaded plug is supplied with each kit for sealing the un-used conduit entry.

The 60-tooth steel sensing gear (kit supplied) results in direct RPM
indication when used with a 1 second time-base rate indicator (tachometer).

Red Lion Controls rate indicators can be configured to provide a complete
speed sensing and indication system. The following two sensor options (next
page) are available with the ARCJ kits in order to meet a wide variety of
applications.

MAGNETIC PICKUP SENSOR

The ARCJ kits with this sensor option use the Red Lion Controls MP-37CA

Magnetic Pickup.This sensor does not require external power.

The Magnetic Pickup is factory installed in the ring to provide a nominal
sensor/gear air gap of 0.007" (0.18 mm) to 0.010" (0.25 mm). This provides
adequate output from the sensor for most applications. However, if output must
be maximized, the air gap can be easily user-adjusted to 0.005" (0.13 mm)
minimum, once the particular gear being used is mounted on the motor shaft.

(Refer to Magnetic Pickup literature for more details, enclosed in ARCJ kits.)

HALL EFFECT SPEED SENSOR (HESS)

The ARCJ kits with the HESS sensor requires an external +8 to +30 VDC
power source. This sensor does NOT have a minimum threshold speed as does
a magnetic pickup sensor. However, when the sensor is first powered up, the
output state is indeterminate when the sensor is not detecting metal. The sensor
face can be mounted flush into metal panels. The case is stainless steel and is
supplied with 10 feet (3 M) of cable. The stranded shield wire is not connected
to the sensor circuit or the case.

The sensor to gear air gap is factory set to a nominal gap of 0.015" (0.38

mm). The air gap can be adjusted by the user from 0.005" (0.13 mm) to 0.040"
(1.02 mm), which allows 0.005" (0.13 mm) maximum total gear runout.
