Emona Instruments has released its 2009 test instruments catalogue.
Inline ATEX junction boxes
01 April, 2009 | Sensor Measurement
Synatel has introduced a range of ATEX-approved inline junction boxes with five-way connectors. The Synatex connectors are certified for 1D use, making them suitable for continuous hazard (zone 20) applications.
Linear axis
01 April, 2009 | Festo Pty Ltd
The EGC electric linear axis offers efficiency, maximum dynamic response and improved rigidity. The EGC electric linear axis is now available as a toothed belt drive or spindle drive. These new axes are easily integrated into the Festo multi-axis modular system and are also suitable for both stepper and servo motors.
IP55 enclosures
01 April, 2009 | ABB Australia Pty Ltd
ABB has announced a range of IP55-rated enclosures and junction boxes. The enclosures are available in 10 sizes — with internal dimensions from 100 x 100 x 80 mm to 310 x 240 x 160 mm — and incorporate a time-saving quarter turn lid screw on some models.
Burkert Fluid Control Systems sanitary mag flowmeter
01 April, 2009 | Burkert Fluid Control Systems
Dedicated to process applications that do not require local push-button programming or display, the blind Type 8056 sanitary mag flowmeter delivers high accuracy over a wide flow velocity range. The Type 8056 is engineered for fast filling applications with short reaction time, high-speed sampling (short sampling/measurement time) and high-speed frequency output, making it suitable for filling systems.
Safe capacitor discharge instrument
01 April, 2009 | Emona Instruments Pty Ltd
Seaward Electronic has introduced an instrument for the safe discharge of stored energy in large capacitors and electrically charged equipment.
Integrated pressure sensor
01 April, 2009 | Festo Pty Ltd
A pressure sensor is now integrated into the Festo MPA valve terminal, allowing pressures to be monitored directly over the fieldbus system. This high level of integration is a low-cost solution as it saves considerable time and money otherwise spent on a more complex installation.
Food-safe stainless steel connectors
01 April, 2009 | HARTING Pty Ltd
Until now, many machines and devices in the processing industries, particularly food and beverage, have been permanently wired due to the environmental conditions. Highly resistant to aggressive substances, the Han-Inox housings made of high-grade stainless steel have been developed for applications in these areas.
