As the sensors output is proportional to time detection, it allows our customer to health monitor their systems

 Our ability to design dedicated and optimized solutions for our customers allows us to be a major detection supplier for applications like thrust reversers, landing gears, doors, spoilers, flap and slat control or cargo loading.

It has been developed and tested in compliance with current standards (EN 60947, DIN 41636 type F, NF EN 50124-1, NFF 16 101/102).
The electrical configuration of this switch is based on a double insulated failsafe circuit (1 NO 1 NC) with two types of contact (Silver or Gold-plated silver) available, based on the voltages and switching loads involved.

Available in IP40 or IP67 versions, the sealing design is patented.
The PBX switch has a mechanical service life of 10 million cycles and features a long pushbutton travel range after reaching the electrical switching point, which helps to absorb any deviations from mechanical tolerances during equipment wear over time.

The modularity of the range means that there is a vast range of readily available configurations to choose from:
- Screw or tag terminals
- Standard or low level version
- Mounting plates, protective cover
- Dummy roller lever
What’s more, the PBX switch can be adapted to your applications by adding special connections and outputs, as well as customised actuators and an insulation cover.

New! Millenium 3 Touch Panel - MTP05

Measuring only 3.5", this ultra compact panel offers unparalleled display performance, with excellent visibility even when using small characters, high contrast, and superior brightness thanks to the high intensity LEDs.

Offering 2 MB memory capacity (for creating up to 180 screens), the MTP05 is easy to program and use, with the intuitive symbol library greatly simplifying the whole screen creation process.

Directly compatible with the Millenium 3 SLin/SLout blocks, this complete one-screen solution can control the Millenium 3 and vice versa.

The MTP05 Millenium 3 Touch Panel archives data on an SD card to save valuable time. And by locating numerous Millenium 3 display function blocks remotely in the MTP05, you have plenty of free memory to run even more powerful programs.
The front panel can be protected to withstand adverse conditions (IP65).

Fitted with a backup battery, the panel can store all your backup data (Millenium 3 data, clock data, internal MTP05 data and alarm history) in the SRAM in the event of power failure.

For its Standard & Custom ranges, Crouzet offers a new programmable MTP 05 touchscreen. This 3 colour (green, red, orange) 3.5” LCD screen is directly connected to the Millennium 3 using the programming port. It also provides a graphical display function.

The Millennium 3 Custom: All the performance of the Millennium 3 Standard plus:

• An exclusive library of 130 function blocks, including 19 business functions (defrost, filtering, solar monitoring ...), represented by the symbol: 

• A new blue screen for better visibility

• An extended operating temperature range (-30 ° C to 70 ° C)

• Memory extended to 700 blocks (capacity previously reserved for expandable controllers in the Millenium 3 Standard range)
 
• A new unique automation network solution: The XN07 extension allows communication between a Millenium 3 Custom ("primary" Controller) and up to 6 other Millenium 3 equipped with an XN06 extension (slave Controller).

• New accessories for temperature measurement (sensors NTC2 and CNTC3) and light level (LDR probe), with associated function blocks, direct connection to Millenium 3 Custom avoiding the need for external conversion modules. Moreover, the measured value is directly available in the Millenium 3 program.

BEI Kimco and Crouzet have recently met the challenging high-performance motor requirements for a Down Hole Measurement While Drilling (MWD) application.

Oil companies must drill deeper than ever before to obtain increasingly valuable deposits.  Components within the drill tool must, therefore, deliver reliable operation at the most extreme ambient temperatures.

Key to the down hole tool string design was a motor capable of extended operation at elevated winding temperatures of up to 220 °C and pressures approaching 2.000 bars (30.000 PSI). The motor would be used to position a sensor that would take measurements of the materials encountered during the oil exploration operations.

To meet the manufacturer’s requirements, BEI Kimco and Crouzet have developed a High Performance Motor measuring 76 mm in diameter x 216 mm in length with a custom housing and dual shafts for gearbox and resolver mounting. High energy samarium-cobalt magnets were utilized to provide high operating efficiencies and superior corrosion resistance. The motor was also designed for operation while filled with oil to compensate for the high pressures. These tailor-made features, combined together, provide a highly robust solution.

"Performing drilling and logging operations at ever increasing depths is extremely expensive and our customers cannot tolerate failure of any of the components within the tool string," says Walter Smith, Senior Applications Engineer/Project Manager for Motors at BEI Kimco. "If the motor failed to position the sensor properly, the accuracy of the measurement would be compromised and the tool would have to be pulled up. Time is money, so reliability at these severe temperatures was paramount to the motor’s design."

BEI Kimco and Crouzet’s motors and actuators with extended temperature operation range capabilities have been used successfully in countless mission-critical applications for many high-end industrial and military applications. 

The ability to provide high performance solutions tailored to the specific needs of each customer has allowed BEI Kimco and Crouzet to consistently fulfill unique and challenging OEM requirements.
