Meet the TracStar 28
The machine can handle the needs of smaller, 2-inch iron pipe size (IPS) to 8-inch ductile IPS (63 mm to 225 mm) pipe fusion projects.
Smalley Wave Springs from AFC Europe: Space-saving technology for the aerospace industry
Replace conventional round wire coil springs by using less material and a smaller assembly size, resulting in reduced production costs and more effective product design.
METCASE expands accessory options for metal and plastic electronic enclosures
Options including metal tilt/swivel bail arms, a wide range of molded enclosure feet, PCB mounting parts, 19-inch front panels, rack shelves and rack hardware.
Wave springs for compact, high precision applications
The wave spring is a special type of compression spring that was invented in the late-1960s by the Smalley Steel Ring Company. Properties of wave springs differ from conventional coil springs in unique ways, and they are used in countless practical applications.
More accessories for OKW’s SYNERGY aluminum enclosures
Accessories now include battery compartments and clips for two, three or four AA cells, and button cell holders.
Jetstream Tooling M-Clamp toolholders for large inserts
Designed for demanding machining, the high-pressure coolant through the system delivers longer tool life, superior chip control and smoother finishes even in tough materials.
Technology transfer: Automotive hydraulic accumulators prove their value in agriculture
A hydraulic accumulator originally developed for the automotive industry has been adapted for use in agricultural machinery operating under extreme conditions.
Hexapod powers postural stability diagnostic system
The advanced motion control solution helps injured soldiers and other patients regain their balance.
NORD delivers heavy-duty industrial gear units, motors and controls for mining applications
These drive systems feature robust UNICASE housings to reduce downtime and energy costs in extreme mining environments.
Get to know these fan arrangements to optimize your next installation
This article will look at the three direct driven centrifugal fan arrangements, where the driver motor is either coupled to the fan shaft assembly or the wheel is mounted directly on the driver.
Advanced wear-resistant coatings for long lasting connections
This article takes a deeper look at the most capable materials in this evolving array of wear defense finishes, going so far as to detail which equipment type will benefit from each hardened coating solution.
Power extension for high-efficiency drives
The high-efficiency IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motors from NORD now cover a power from 0.35 kW to 11 kW.

The modular concept allows engineers to configure linear stages online by selecting from a wide range of mechanical, drive and feedback options tailored to their application.
Intelligent pump features for flow, pressure and vacuum control and versatile dosing
Four new intelligent pumps integrate modern sensor technology and proprietary motor control to maintain exact setpoints, even under changing conditions.
Steel-ball device helps buildings ride out earthquakes
The simple energy-dissipation device, the team explained, is a cylinder filled with steel balls that relies on the power of friction to protect infrastructure from earthquakes, wind and industrial vibrations.
EPC accelerates robotics innovation with integrated three-phase BLDC motor drive inverter
The motor drive inverter evaluation board is specifically engineered for humanoid robot joint applications.
Formula 1: new sustainability rules are changing the way races are won
Technologies refined in racing have later appeared elsewhere, from advanced braking and handling systems in road cars to sensor technologies now used in hospitals.
METCASE’s MINIMET compact instrument enclosures now in custom sizes and new colors
These are ideal for medical electronics, test and measurement, industrial control, peripherals, interfaces, switchboxes, communications and laboratory equipment.
Southco introduces R4-50 heavy-duty rotary latch to improve cab access and operator safety
Designed for off-highway and agricultural equipment, the rotary latch enables independent interior and exterior actuation, reduces vibration and accidental release, and offers flexible integration for cab door systems.
IKO LCRB crossed roller bearings dramatically lower weight and size for low- to medium-precision designs
These roller bearings can have as much as 60% less mass than equivalently sized alternatives, helping designers downsize equipment, maximize operating efficiency and reduce cost.
