Brushless DC servomotors
08 July, 2008 | Supplied by: 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.
DC motors with integrated drives

The EMMS-ST range of stepper motors supplements the CMMS-ST range of drives.
DC motor and drive packages
08 July, 2008 | Supplied by: M Rutty & Co Pty Ltd
Electronically commutated DC motors now incorporate functions that were previously the preserve of AC servo-motors. With output powers up to 500 W and torques up to 5 Nm, the BG75 DC motors by Dunkermotoren are able to take on numerous drive tasks in industrial automation.
Selectable vector drives
08 July, 2008 | Supplied by: Automated Motion Systems Pty Ltd
Eltra has released a range of flange-mounted incremental shaft encoders constructed from stainless steel. They have been designed specifically for application in mining, offshore installations, cranes and winches, food and beverage manufacture and other applications where corrosion can be a problem.
Solid-state relay
08 July, 2008 | Supplied by: Rockwell Automation Australia
Rockwell Automation has expanded its range of Allen-Bradley 700SH solid-state relays with the addition of increased load capacities up to 100 A and 660 V. This extends the applicability of the 700SH series for a wider range of precision-controlled, high switching frequency applications, such as temperature control in packaging, food processing, plastics and HVAC industries.
Compact stepper drive
01 July, 2008 | Supplied by: Automated Motion Systems Pty Ltd
The Plus-B series of stepper motor drives is suitable for high-power single- and dual-axis motion control applications where high speed and resolution are required.
Controlsoft becomes Zi-Argus
01 July, 2008
Following on from the acquisition of Controlsoft by Zi-Argus in May 2007, Controlsoft will change its name to Zi-Argus effective 1 July 2008.
Compact field controllers
01 July, 2008 | Supplied by: National Instruments Aust Pty Ltd
National Instruments has announced three Compact Fieldpoint Controllers that deliver increased performance, higher processor speed and significantly improved ethernet throughput.
Solid-state relay

Rockwell Automation has expanded its range of Allen-Bradley 700SH solid-state relays with the addition of increased load capacities up to 100 A and 660 V.
Output filter for motor drives
01 July, 2008 | Supplied by: Westek Electronics Pty Ltd
The Schaffner Model 510 output filters reduce voltage slew rate (dV/dt) from inverter drives for variable-speed motors. High-voltage slew rates can cause overstressing of long motor drive cables and cause insulation breakdowns in motor windings.
Where vision meets sensors
11 June, 2008 | Supplied by: Balluff Pty Ltd
Discrete sensors and vision tend to be at polar opposites in complexity and capability. But sensor suppliers are now providing more sophisticated sensors and application techniques advancing up the curve towards vision solutions, and vision providers are trying to expand down the curve towards the discrete sensor world. But instead of a crash of technologies, a new layer of technology is evolving that combines the best from each.
