Oil analysis sensor
05 September, 2008 | SEW-Eurodrive Pty Ltd
The DUO10A oil analysis sensor is designed to aid the prevention of unplanned gear-unit downtime. It allows the early detection of gear-unit oil deterioration and can prevent eventual gear-unit damage or failure, making it a key element of any effective predictive maintenance program.
Miniature stepper motor
05 September, 2008 | ERNTEC Pty Ltd
With an outer diameter of 6 mm, a length of 9.3 mm and weighing 1.4 g, the ADM 0620 is claimed to be the smallest two-phase miniature stepper motor in the world.
Brushless DC servomotor
05 September, 2008 | ERNTEC Pty Ltd
The Faulhaber Series 2057 motor is fitted with a high-energy rare earth magnet which results in a very responsive mechanical time constant of only 8 ms. The skew winding in combination with the laminated stator also provides good heat dissipation and high overload capability.
UMM load cells
05 September, 2008 | Applied Measurement Australia
Dacell UMM load cells are suitable for both compression or tension usage. These load cells are extremely small and lightweight, and are rated to protection class IP67.
Draw wire position transducers
05 September, 2008 | Applied Measurement Australia
WayCon Positionsmesstechnik is a manufacturer of draw wire position transducers for industrial use. Due to its small overall size, short assembly time and possible customisation, the SX sensor technology is a cost-effective and flexible solution for a wide range of industrial applications.
Stopper cylinder
05 September, 2008 | Festo Pty Ltd
The DFST stopper cylinder has a load range almost three times higher than Festo’s previous model.
Air gap sensor
05 September, 2008 | Festo Pty Ltd
The Sopa air gap sensor is designed to be used in tooling applications to make sure that a part is seated properly in a jig before it is machined, welded or assembled. It is able to measure gaps of between 20 and 200 micron. The Sopa air gap sensor is precise enough to detect if a work piece is obstructed by a human hair.
Flat panel monitor
05 September, 2008 | Advantech Australia Pty Ltd
The FPM-5151G 15" (1024 x 768 resolution) LCD flat panel monitor is specifically designed for industrial applications. It features direct-VGA and DVI-D signal transmission, which allows any VGA control card to be used in a system.
Angular position sensor
05 September, 2008 | Automated Control Pty Ltd
ASM has introduced the POSIROT PRAS3, a magnetic angular position sensor in a compact 36 mm diameter housing. The active sensor element uses an internal, contact-free permanent magnet to determine the angular position. The measurement ranges are available in 15° increments: 0-15, 0-30, 0-45 up to 0-360°. The servo flange mounting ensures quick and easy installation for the PRAS3 series.
