This article shares some of the research for the new IDTechEx Research report, “Electric Vehicle Traction Motors, Belt Driven & Integrated Starter Generators 2016-2026”. It is no longer contentious to say that the future of land, water and air vehicles is to be more and more electric. The detail of how this is being achieved is rich and varied and it revolves around the electric motor and its variants far more than the more-discus...

ESAB introduced the Rebel EMP 215ic, a 120V-230V, CC/CV welding system that offers true multi-process arc performance, location flexibility, lightweight portability and a groundbreaking operator interface. A unique sMIG (“smart MIG”) function enables users to begin MIG welding – with an extremely stable arc – just by setting metal thickness and wire diameter. Unlike competitive units, there is no need to enter information ...

Infineon has added a number of wide body package options to its EiceDRIVER Compact galvanically isolated gate driver IC family. The 7.62mm (0.3") 1EDI Compact devices are supplied in a DSO-8 package offering increased creepage distances and improved thermal behaviour.

A new application note from FLIR Systems describes how its GF320 optical gas imaging camera is being used by IBS (Bremen, Germany) for inspecting Biogas facilities and finding hidden gas leaks before they can cause significant harm. Expanding the use of renewable energy sources has become a major issue for European countries looking to reduce their dependency on fossil fuels and lessen the effects of climate change.

Sensor Technology has continued to develop its product range, offering users new options for measuring power in drive shafts and other rotating machine elements.

A Purdue University technology that can help predict failures to the integrity of a tire, hose or other mechanical and medical equipment could help increase automotive safety, improve patient care and reduce liability costs. The technology, developed by a team lead by Gary W. Krutz, professor of agricultural and biological engineering, uses a sensor that can predict when a tire or hose is compromised and in danger of breaking up to two weeks in a...
