COTS-based radiation-hardened power converters
As reliance on communication and weather satellites grows and space research expands in scope and mission, new technology is required to help speed spaceflight system design and production. Microchip Technology has announced the expansion of its SA50-120 power converter family with nine new units based on its Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) technology. This technology provides developers with space-qualified power converters that help to minimise...
igus goes to great lengths with expansion of hybrid chains series
The world’s firsthybridchain is now available in two new sizes - designed by igusfor construction machinery and lifting equipment.TheseYE hybrid chains, made of polymer and steel, are 50% lighter than conventional steelchainsand can safely move large hydraulic hoses and high fill weights vertically on both mobile crane platforms and construction machinery.
