A line of spring couplings have been developed byTorsion Control Products (TCP) and arespecifically for modern diesel engines as used, for example, in construction machines and agricultural vehicles.These products attenuate torsional vibration, isolate resonance, protect against overload and shock, reduce noise, improve the service life of bearings and gears, and increase system durability. The spring couplings from US manufacturer TCP further ex...

binder just announced a panel-mount connector with a hinged cover for maximum protection when not mated. Designed by binder for fast and easy assembly, the Series 696 HEC female connector protects to IP67/IPX9K and can be supplied with 4+PE, 8 (4+3+PE) and 12 silver-plated contacts and features crimp termination.

With the ability to be insertedinto existing metallic pillow block and flange bearing housings within a few seconds igus have introducedigubal spherical balls.These bearings, which are often used in construction machines and conveyor systems, are exposed to harsh environments requiring regular lubrication and maintenance. The igubal spherical balls are injection moulded in the high-performance plastic iglidur J, which is self-lubricating.

The triple-band Wi-Fi antenna from Molex is now in stock at Mouser Electronics. It is designed to penetrate areas of interference and deliver reliable internet connectivity to places where walls and barriers present a challenge. Offering increased power efficiency and long-range connectivity to Wi-Fi certified products, the ceramic antenna is a robust option for Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications.

Back in December 2017, Variohm EuroSensor delivered its one millionth customised sensor, and it has steadily expanded its in-house design and manufacturing service which is complemented by a comprehensive standard product range as well as distribution partnerships with leading global sensor component suppliers.

A development board that delivers next-generation, low‑power wide‑area (LPWA) connectivity and targets use in machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications has been released by Avnet Silica. The NB-IoT Sensor Shield is compatible with the Arduino UNO R3 connector layout and is a multi-mode connectivity board that supports both the LTE Cat M1 and NarrowBand-IoT (LTE Cat.NB) air interfaces.

A new energy technology development centre has been officially launched byYorkshire ambassador Sir Gary Verity (pictured centre), praising Sheffield city region's focus on advanced manufacturing excellence. Sir Gary, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, formally opened the new Sheffield-headquarters of Libertine FPE which will act as the hub of its research and development work for linear motor-generator technologies.

Supplier of high performance coolers, heat exchangers and cooling systems, AKG has unveiled its 32,000sq ft2research and development (R&D) centre during a grand opening that was held on the 21st February 2018. The R&D centre, along with new laboratory equipment, allows the company to perform strain-life testing, validate field and laboratory data, advance product engineering and shorten validation lead times.

The world of agriculture is being quietly transformed by robotic technology. One question to consider is whether tractors will evolve towards full unmanned autonomy?Tractor guidance and autosteer are well-established technologies. In the short to medium terms, both will continue their growth thanks to improvements and cost reductions in RTK GPS technology. Indeed, ID TechEx estimates that around 700,000 tractors equipped with autosteer or tractor...

Digitisation and automation are transforming the working world. How mobile robotics, smart data and machine learning are already being used in the off-highway sector will be demonstrated at the 3rd international VDI conference 'Connected Off-Highway Machines' in Duesseldorf on 10th-11thApril 2018.
