Product Description

The FÖGE SE-ACA is a long-range AC antistatic bar that combines high-voltage AC ionisation with integrated compressed air delivery to achieve an ionisation range of up to 400 mm — significantly further than passive AC bars. The bar generates ions at its stainless steel emitter pins in the same way as the SE-ACB-80, but uses a built-in air channel to carry those ions outward toward the target surface, dramatically extending the effective working distance. This makes the SE-ACA the right choice wherever the bar must be positioned well away from the material surface due to machine geometry, wherever 3D-shaped plastic parts require ion delivery into recesses and cavities, or wherever the wide reach of an air-assisted system is needed without switching to pulsed DC technology. Like the rest of the SE-ACB family, the SE-ACA connects to a FÖGE SE-PAC-80 high-voltage AC power unit via a plug-and-play HV connector — up to 4 bars can be powered from a single SE-PAC-80 unit. The shockless design, stainless steel emitter pins, washable housing and screened HFFR-protected cable ensure reliable long-term operation in demanding industrial environments. A compressed air supply is required at the installation point to achieve the full ionisation range.

ACA

How It Works

The SE-ACA connects to an SE-PAC-80 high-voltage AC power unit, which applies 8 kV AC to the bar's stainless steel emitter pins. The voltage causes intense ionisation of the air immediately surrounding each pin, generating a balanced cloud of positive and negative ions — identical to the SE-ACB-80. However, unlike a passive bar where ions must drift unaided to the target surface, the SE-ACA incorporates an integrated air channel. Compressed air fed into the bar is directed over the ionisation zone at the emitter pins, picking up the freshly generated ions and carrying them at velocity toward the target surface. This air-assisted delivery extends the effective ionisation range from the passive 250 mm of the SE-ACB-80 to 400 mm, and simultaneously directs the ion stream into three-dimensional shapes, cavities and recesses that a passive bar cannot reach from a fixed position. The AC polarity alternates continuously, ensuring a balanced mix of positive and negative ions neutralises both charge polarities on the target surface.

Advantages & Benefits

01

400 mm range with AC technology

The SE-ACA achieves 400 mm ionisation range using AC technology — giving engineers who prefer AC ionisation systems the extended reach previously only available with pulsed DC air bars.

02

Reaches into 3D cavities and recesses

The compressed air stream carries ions into recessed areas, mould cavities and the internal surfaces of 3D-shaped parts — where a passive bar cannot reach from a fixed position.

03

Flexible installation geometry

A 400 mm working distance gives engineers the freedom to mount the bar where machine geometry allows, without compromising ionisation performance.

04

Stays within the SE-PAC ecosystem

The SE-ACA uses the same SE-PAC-80 power unit and HV connector system as the SE-ACB-80 — no new power infrastructure needed if SE-PAC-80 units are already installed.

05

Operator safety

Shockless design (< 100 µA) and HFFR-protected cable ensure safe operation even when staff work near the bar.

06

Scalable coverage

Up to 4 SE-ACA bars per SE-PAC-80 power unit — cover wide machines or multiple zones without adding extra power supply units.

Applications

Applications Where it helps

Wide-Gap Machine Installations Mount the rod at intervals of up to 400 mm from the material surface
— ideal for machine geometries that prevent close mounting.
Injection Mould Entry Zones Directly feed ionized air into the cavity inlet
— Neutralize static charges on parts during ejection.
High-Speed Film & Web Lines Neutralize static electricity on films, paper webs, and aluminum foil at speeds of up to 500 m/min
— at a considerable distance from the material web.
Automotive Interior Plastics Eliminate static electricity from large-format panels, trim, and dashboards before painting or final assembly
— given the large working distances typical of automotive production lines.
Wide-Web Converting Cover the full width of large-format webs at high speed
— Introduce ions across the full material width from a fixed rod position.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both use 8 kV AC ionisation powered by the SE-PAC-80, but the SE-ACB-80 is a passive bar (no air) with a range of up to 250 mm. The SE-ACA adds an integrated compressed air channel that carries ions to 400 mm and directs them into 3D cavities. If compressed air is available at the installation point and extended range or 3D reach is required, choose the SE-ACA. If no air is available or the 250 mm passive range is sufficient, choose the SE-ACB-80.
The SE-ACA uses AC technology and requires an SE-PAC-80 HV power unit. The SE-DCA-110 uses pulsed DC technology and operates from 24 V DC (no HV unit needed), achieving a longer range of up to 1000 mm with compressed air. Choose SE-ACA if you prefer to stay within an AC-based ionisation infrastructure. Choose SE-DCA-110 for maximum range, 24 V DC installation simplicity or where no HV power unit is available.
Contact FÖGE for the specific air pressure and flow rate requirements for the SE-ACA. Clean, dry compressed air is recommended — moisture or oil contamination in the air supply can degrade ionisation performance.
No. The SE-ACA requires the SE-PAC-80 (8 kV output). The SE-PAC-55 outputs 5.5 kV and is not compatible with the SE-ACA. Using the wrong power unit will result in insufficient ionisation performance.
The SE-ACA is designed to work with compressed air — the air channel is integral to achieving the 400 mm ionisation range. Without air, it will function as a passive AC bar but will not achieve the specified range. For installations where no air is available, the SE-ACB-80 (passive, up to 250 mm) is the recommended alternative.
