Encoder technology for microstepping motor position verification
An alternative encoder technology for microstepping motor position verification has been announced by Applied Motion Products (AMP), which is available from Mclennan, AMP´s European distribution partner. The capacitive encoder technology offers advantages for applications where increased durability or space savings are required.
Latest ‘smart’ sensors support drive towards Industry 4.0
Supporting the ever-growing Industry 4.0 initiatives, Parker Hannifin has introduced a new series of 'smart' sensors with theP8S CPS series which are especially forfor pneumatic cylinders.The sensors feature intelligent functionality such as the ability to acquire and locally process information, and communicate with upper level controllers and/or local networks.
Fully-programmable stainless steel encoders for harsh environments
A stainless steel version of its fully-programmable DFS60 incremental encoders and AFM60 and AFS60 absolute encoders has been launched by SICK, making them available for duties in hygienic and corrosive environments for the first time. The SICK DFS60 Inox, the AFM60 Inox and the AFS60 Inox programmable encoders feature a rugged stainless steel housing, flange and shaft.
Taking ships reliably to their destination
The KINAX WT720 has been introduced by Camille Bauer Metrawatt AG, which is an angular position transducer for capturing the position of ships' rudders or propellers. The absolute encoder is impressively robust and suitable for use in harsh environments.
Make or break? It's all about the component compatibilty
When designing modern machines and technical equipment selecting the right components and sub-systems requires the consideration of many factors; some more obvious than others. Gerard Bush of INMOCO offers some insight into the process.Engineering designers usually start a project knowing what they want their machine or equipment to achieve; naturally to working backwards from there to get an idea for an initial concept design.
