Compression latches with convenient quarter-turn operation

EMKA is promoting its range of compression locks, available for immediate delivery and installation to an ever-widening range of applications. Typically, modular compression latches/locks fit the same format as quarter-turns, but with the addition of another 90 degree turn they offer a substantial extra pull-down on the gasket (usually 6mm) providing enhanced sealing security up to IP69K. The compression mechanism itself confers the further major benefit of vibration resistance - so mitigating against nuisance opening on vibration-prone installations such as specialist vehicles and HVACR systems.

Self-checking temperature sensor improves reliability

For processes where accurate temperature control is essential and deviations could have costly implications, the new TCC self-checking temperature sensor from ifm electronic provides an invaluable added level of assurance. The sensor continually monitors its own performance and, if an internal failure occurs or excessive drift is detected in measurement accuracy, it gives a visual warning and sends an alert message to the plant control system so that immediate action can then be taken to minimise the impact of the problem.
