HEADLINES ARCHIVE

  • 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.

  • NORD extends IE5+ synchronous motor line with new 112 frame size

    The new SK 112 motor size extends the power of compact IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motors to 15.0 hp.

  • Subsea valve performance: Sealing, reliability and operation at extreme depths

    In subsea systems, valve failure can lead to loss of containment, environmental pollution, safety hazards, production stoppages and costly intervention campaigns.

  • OKW’s SMART-CONTROL wall-mount enclosures now available with custom metal holders

    SMART-CONTROL wall-mount enclosures can now be supplied with custom-designed metal holders for faster and easier installation.

  • New CLC series: Compact open-frame servo drives

    The series includes three sizes with rated currents of 3 A, 6 A and 15 A and is suitable for both stepper motors and BLDC motors.

  • Advanced beamforming tech uses ultrasound to boost rail safety checks

    The team from UC San Diego applied an advanced form of ultrasound featuring new beamforming algorithms to develop a device that can be embedded in the wheel of a cart — and eventually on a train itself.

  • Lock it or lose it: Manufacturing tech to soften the shakes

    While still a popular thread-freezing solution today, lock nuts are no longer the de facto choice when working with fasteners on high-vibration systems.

  • The printer for the smallest details

    Motors, encoders and other components from FAULHABER propel this printer to yield objects visible only under a scanning electron microscope.

  • “Built For Building”: FPT displays product and service solutions for the construction industry at CONEXPO

    The line-up ranges from 2.8 to 20 liters, delivering 50 to 900+ horsepower, offering the best match for all kind of machinery: excavators, loaders and everything in between.

  • When things have to be done quickly

    Discover how these rail brakes support fast roller changes in laminating units.

  • Absorbing centerline and stack-up tolerances with Oval Compression Limiters

    Compression Limiters must not only align with the mating components, but also maintain a defined centerline tolerance with each other. This will ensure that the accumulated misalignment remains within acceptable limits so the components maintain their relative positions and can be securely fastened at multiple points within the assembly.

  • FPT at CONEXPO: Solutions from plug and play to tailor made

    The company will present its complete range of engines for construction machinery, designed to deliver high performance, reliability and versatility even in the most demanding off-road applications.

  • Southco introduces new folding T-handle compression latch

    Despite its compact design, the N5 is NEMA4/IP65 sealing compliant, and provides strong compressive force to protect valuable interior components.

  • NORD enhances efficiency with new digital twin and simulation capabilities

    This new digital twin and virtual commissioning technology significantly reduces the system development process from planning to commissioning.
