Brushless DC servomotors
08 July, 2008 | ERNTEC Pty Ltd
The elctromechanically commutated Smartshell DC micromotors from Faulhaber are made with an all-in-one design concept — lamination stack, coil and PCB combined in a single-moulded injection — which provides the motors with a robust housing. The rotor consists of a permanent NdFeB magnet fitted onto a through shaft supported by preloaded ball bearings.
Flexible stainless steel conduit
08 July, 2008 | EC&M Electrical Pty Ltd
The Ramflex Micro Conduit range of small bore conduit is produced from continuous stainless steel strip and comes in a range of sizes from 3.5 to 12.7 mm ID.
DVZ Series vortex flowmeters
08 July, 2008 | Kobold Instruments Pty Ltd
The DVZ Series flowmeters are compact and inexpensive and can be utilised in all applications for low-viscosity fluids. Since the units operate without any mechanical moving parts, they are practically maintenance free and have distinct advantages compared with units based on the float or rotor principle.
Failsafe manual reset thermostats
08 July, 2008 | Practical Control Solutions
The KMF series of failsafe thermostats monitor temperatures in furnaces, ovens, kilns, boilers or any application where an overtemperature condition would result in a critical failure. These thermostats work on the principle of liquid expansion from a bulb into a capillary which actuates a microswitch contact.
Self-validating point level sensor
08 July, 2008 | Metaval Engineering Sales
The SafePoint from Monitor Technologies LLC is a self-validating point level sensor for monitoring the presence and absence of powders, granular materials and other bulk solids. It is completely fail-safe and can be used in bins, silos and other vessels with process temperature conditions up to 399°C to shut off bin filling and protect against overfilling due to unknown sensor failures.
Process performance software
08 July, 2008 | Honeywell Building Solutions
Honeywell has announced Uniformance Process Studio, a desktop software package that allows plant engineers to more easily analyse process performance. The user-friendly interface includes workflow management applications that enable engineers to build trend graphs and graphics with minimal training or manual configuration.
CMMS-ST motor controllers
08 July, 2008 | Festo Pty Ltd
The CMMS-ST drives supplement the EMMS-ST range of stepper motors and together they provide a ‘servo light’ solution. This combination offers fully controlled motion, optimum operating reliability and various options for torque and force control.
FlexPower wireless sensor nodes
08 July, 2008 | Micromax Pty Ltd
Banner Engineering has introduced FlexPower nodes for the Banner SureCross wireless network. FlexPower provides a versatile wireless solution by allowing a SureCross node to operate using 10 to 30 VDC line power, solar panels, or a FlexPower battery module in remote or difficult-to-access locations.
Portable ultrasonic flowmeter converter
08 July, 2008 | Dwyer Omega (Aust) Pty Ltd
The series PUX ultrasonic flowmeter utilises the transit time difference principle for measuring flow rates through pipes from the outside. This liquid flowmeter is compact, portable and lightweight, incorporating the latest breakthroughs in digital signal processing and electronics.
Peer-to-peer ethernet I/O modules
08 July, 2008 | Advantech Australia Pty Ltd
A firmware enhancement for the ADAM-6000 ethernet I/O modules adds advanced peer-to-peer (P2P) and graphic condition logic (GCL) functionality.
