Small footprint signal conditioners
11 March, 2009 | Supplied by: Moore Industries
In the instrumentation world, panel space equals money. Moore Industries has addressed this requirement for narrow instruments with the miniMoore family of multi-channel analog signal conditioners. These signal conditioners deliver up to four low-cost I/O channels in a 25.4 mm footprint, which equates to 6.35 mm per channel.
Zero backlash couplings
11 March, 2009 | Supplied by: Automated Motion Systems Pty Ltd
When fitting stepper motors, servomotors, gearboxes and encoders to machines, care must be taken to ensure all devices are co-axial (no angular or parallel misalignment). Failure to do so will place excessive loads on bearings and reduce the life of the components. Using flexible couplings with some angular and parallel compliance will ensure this while maintaining constant velocity and low backlash. The Bervina flexible couplings are constructed from a one-piece aluminium, steel or stainless steel section. There no wearing parts to require lubrication and they are constant velocity.
