ZF Electronics has developed a new Hall-effect geartooth speed and direction sensor which suits the rigorous demands found in harsh automotive environments. In modern vehicles, engine transmission is controlled by a large number of different sensors and controllers - for example, sensors are used on the transfer gears or on the output shaft to measure direction, speed and change of speed. Typically, a gear sensor will have only a speed or speed ...

The Rofin DQ series of lasers manufactured by Rofin-Sinar Laser GmbH were awarded the coveted iF Design Award at the recent CeBIT information technology trade fair in Hannover, Germany. More than 2,700 products from 35 countries were asked to be considered for the prestigious award whose recipients are determined by an international jury of experts.

Rotary indexing table or pallet transfer system? Both options have their own specific advantages and the past it has always been necessary to weigh these advantages against each other. A new system from WEISS however, eliminates this dilemma and provides the best of both worlds.

Steinmeyer announced today a new design to the ball return for its UltraSpeed line of precision ball screws. This new design is based on a new ball return system that uses precision ball deflectors to guide the balls into a return channel spanning the whole nut length. The deflectors are precision milled and utilize a complex geometry that minimizes friction thus allowing higher speeds with less wear and better smoothness.
