Ruland has released mountable shaft collars with face holes for applications where the shaft collar needs to be directly mounted to a component such as a pulley, sprocket, or metallic plate.

The Axioline P product family from Phoenix Contact enables standard and intrinsically safe (Ex i) input/output signals to be acquired via redundant Modbus/TCP bus couplers. Installed in Ex zone 2, the devices enable the signals of the input/output modules to be connected directly from Ex zones 0, 1, or 2.

Abssac’s precision lead screws are essential components that convert rotational motion into linear displacement. These screws are available in various sizes to cater to a wide range of applications.

The experts at ETEL explain the features and benefits of torque motors, highlighting how they can offer improved machine performance with reduced cost of ownership.

The Han S connector range from HARTING offers secure connection technology for modular battery storage systems. The compact and flexible housings accommodate contacts for currents up to 200 A and 1500 V and the bulkhead housings can be flexibly rotated through 360 degrees.

With their flexibly mountable cable glands with bayonet lock, the Heavycon Evo industrial connectors from Phoenix Contact meet the needs of a wide range of applications. The cable outlet direction can be determined directly at the installation site and changed again at any time.

By using frequency inverters, plant and machine manufacturers can get even more out of their motors. This is because they allow universal drive machines to be operated flexibly. With this in mind, KEB Automation has introduced asynchronous geared motors with integrated frequency inverters.

Development means progress, advancement. This is exactly how engineering is understood at power products specialist SCHURTER. Ideas create new products that help the company and its customers move forward.

It has been reported that around 90 per cent of data generated in a manufacturing plant typically doesn't get used to build insights that can really help the business. Here, Beth Ragdale, product manager at automation specialist Beckhoff UK, explains the value of consolidating production line data.

Thomson Industries has introduced a rotating-nut stepper motor linear actuator (SMLA) with a rotary encoder as a standard option. Machine designers with applications requiring positional feedback can now specify the full line of SMLAs integrated with this enhancement.
