Murrelektronik has expanded its IO-Link portfolio with the IP67 rated MVK Pro and IMPACT67 Pro fieldbus modules. They provide a flexible, all in one system as each port can be used as an input or output for IO-Link, digital or analogue signals.

Connectors play an important role in the design of sustainable processes by offering flexibility, security and durability, delivering smart connectivity for machines, as the experts at HARTING explain.

In this video, igus highlights various industries and applications where its polymer bearings are used and have replaced metallic bearings.

Multicode readers in the new O2I4xx range from ifm electronic can evaluate multiple 1D/2D codes and texts in a single image and send the results direct IO-Link, making them easy to integrate with control and supervisory systems.

TCP DC device circuit breakers from Phoenix Contact are the reclosable alternative for automotive fuses. The portfolio offers optimum overload protection for different applications with two characteristic curves.

Hygiene-sensitive production and packaging processes require sensors that meet the most stringent requirements. Leuze makes this possible with sensor series intended for the food industry and with its many years of application know-how.

The compact IIO 041 from SIGMATEK’s S-DIAS series has four SDCI master ports and four digital inputs (+24 V DC/3.7 mA/0.5 ms). With SDCI Single-Drop Digital Communication Interfaces (IO-Link), a manufacturer-independent point-to-point connection can be realised for connecting intelligent actuators and sensors in accordance with IEC 61131-9.

The nEDC300 from Edwards Vacuum is the latest iteration of mono claw vacuum pumps which boasts a range of inventive attributes that not only boost performance but also minimise noise levels, improve reliability and facilitate on-site maintenance.

The very first patent for a roller screw was granted in 1949, but roller screw technology is still a less recognised option when compared to other mechanisms for conversion of rotary torque into linear motion. Mark Moore of Moore International looks at why, and discusses the advantages of roller screw technology.

OMRON has launched the K7DD-PQ Series, an advanced motor condition monitoring device designed to automate the detection of abnormalities in manufacturing sites. This series specifically focuses on monitoring servomotors that frequently change speed and motors with rapidly changing loads.
