MAGNET-SCHULTZ OF AMERICA INTRODUCES

Hazardous-Location and Explosion Proof Electro-Hydraulic

Solenoid Coils with Worldwide Approvals

June 28, 2016 – Westmont, IL — Magnet-Schultz of America, Inc. (MSA), a leading innovator and manufacturer of solenoids, electromagnetic devices, and value added assemblies, introduces a family of electro-hydraulic coils which are certified for worldwide use in hazardous locations (gas and dust atmospheres) and in environments that demand explosion proof capabilities.

Called HAZ-LOC®, this family of coils has the unique capability of being able to mount on multiple manufacturer’s hydraulic tubes (with diameters of either 13mm, 16mm, 19mm or 22mm).

Each coil incorporates a junction box for electrical connection, and is certified for use in either 40° C or 80° C maximum ambient temperatures.

Every HAZ-LOC® coil provides compliance with all of the following governing standards:

United States of America

NEC 500

  • GAS:    Class I (Division 1) Group A, B, C, D, T4
  • DUST:  Class II & III (Division 1) Group E, F, G, T4
