The FG4015, used to prevent oil wicking from bearing embedment sensors in rotating equipment, are ATEX approved for use in hazardous locations and in potentially explosive atmospheres. “Our customers need to be confident that our products will deliver the performance they require in hazardous locations,” commented Wayne Olson, Minco’s Sensors Business Unit Director. “We engineer our products to meet the demands of rotating machinery and other markets where failure is not an option, and back up that engineering with testing and certifications - like ATEX - to validate product performance.” ATEX certification was obtained through Factory Mutual (FM) after undertaking the assessment, testing and certification of the FG4015 seal and Minco’s manufacturing facilities against the ATEX directive. The FG4015 is certified as Ex d (flameproof) and Ex e (increased safety), suitable for use in zone 1 or zone 2, and carries Ingress Protection ratings of IP65 and IP66. The FG4015 uses a grommet seal for simple installation and adjustment. It can be configured with a variety of pipe threads and grommet configurations for up to four cables (six leadwires) in a wide range of diameters. This allows cables from multiple sensors to pass through a single FG4015. These fittings are specifically designed for sensors with Minco’s innovative elastomer filled cables.
