High performance EMI shielding solutions on show at DSEI
At Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI), Parker Chomerics will be showing a range of high performance shielding solutions. The electrically conductive elastomer and plastic materials provide protection from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and environmental factors, including moisture and dust. The company will also be exhibiting its wider integrated solutions for the defence industry on stand S2-135.
There’s nothing fishy about the benefits of VSDs!
To minimise losses, reduce energy costs and enhance control, sea food company Selsea Fish & Lobster has installed Parker Hannifin’s AC30 Variable Speed Drives (VSDs). The unusual application centres on keeping lobsters and crabs fresh by pumping seawater over them.
Resolver feedback option adds greater capability to drives
Parker Hannifin has added a resolver feedback option to the AC30P and AC30D units from its highly capable AC30 range of variable speed drives (VSDs). Updated firmware offers new diagnostic features, on-board communications and support for closed-loop control of PMAC motors when fitted with the new 7004-05-00 resolver feedback option. This enhanced capability makes even the most advanced application accessible to every user.
Smart IO-Link connectivity added to valve portfolio
As a part of its global focus on factory automation, Parker Hannifin has added smart connectivity of its pneumatic valve islands to machine controllers by introducing new IO-Link modules that can be quickly integrated with existing Parker valve ranges.Ethernet based protocol independent and vendor neutral, this new module offers plug-and-play valve compatibility for customers currently using Industrial Ethernet, meaning they can benefit from simi...
Single-part thermal compound gel
Parker Chomerics has released THERM-A-GAP GEL, which is supplied as a pre-cured, single part thermal gel compound for dispensing over heat-generating electronic components. Said to offer an excellent price-to-performance ratio, THERM-A-GAP GEL45 is purpose-designed to eliminate time consuming hand assembly, decrease installation costs and reduce the complexity of customer manufacturing and purchasing functions.
Cooling system keeps Parker Solar Probe at peak performance
