CUI Devices’ Switches Group today announced the addition of micro rotary actuator types to its DIP switches product line. Housed in compact 7.2 × 7.2 × 2.9 mm packages, the RDS-7229 series features 4, 10, or 16 positions, a 5.08 mm pitch, and surface mount or through hole mounting styles. Thanks to their compact footprints and IP67 […]

PD42-1-1243-IOLINK intelligent actuator reduces power by more than 50 percent and drive size by 2.6x, while boosting factory productivity by monitoring 50 percent more configuration and performance parameters

With the current corona crisis, the world is facing a multitude of challenges. First and foremost is the protection of public health. The SARS-CoV-2 virus known as “Coronavirus” causes an infection of the respiratory tract. At present, only the symptoms, but not the disease itself, can be treated. To combat the pandemic, the availability of […]

The world’s most power dense permanent magnet electric motor is under development in the UK. Expert electrification company, Equipmake, has teamed up with leading additive manufacturing organisation HiETA to develop the next-generation motor as part of a revolutionary project, grant-funded by Innovate UK. Codenamed AMPERE, the new motor will draw on Equipmake’s world-leading expertise in […]

TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, is introducing a new generation of resolvers that can help improve angular position accuracy in a wide range of industrial servo motors. The new Resolver Size 21 T7X products can be used in a variety of factory equipment applications, as diverse as robotics, tooling machines […]

Infineon Technologies AG is releasing the new IMC300 motor controller series. It combines the iMOTION™ Motion Control Engine (MCE) with an additional microcontroller based on the Arm® Cortex®-M0 core. IMC300 complements the IMC100 series and aims at variable speed drives that require very high application flexibility. Both families, IMC100 and IMC300, share the same implementation […]

Jointly-Developed Stepping Motors with Resolver (Angle Sensor) and Resolver-Based Motor Control Solutions Feature Superlative Cost/Performance Characteristics

Special high-speed test benches are used to test bearings. In these tests, the effects of different lubricants on the sliding properties of the bearings in the endurance test are checked. The structural design of such a test rig must meet different requirements. The drive is subject to special conditions. In addition to a lateral force-free […]

Dynamic Response in a Rugged Package Cube encoders – incremental rotary encoders with a cube-shaped housing – have been popular with machine builders since the 1960’s, largely because these devices are easy to install without special mounts or brackets. Now POSITAL has updated this old favourite with new features and capabilities that will keep this […]
