Electromagnetic actuated clutches

Miki Pulley mikipulley-us.com

These high-performance clutches function using electromagnetic force generated by an energized coil providing physical engagement of input and output members of the clutch. They provide an e cient connection between system motor and load with low inertia, minimal drag, and zero backlash. CSZ Clutches have an integrated bearing design, making mounting fast and easy while ensuring application concentricity and excellent system runout. The clutch is designed as a single unitized assembled part with a pre-set factory air gap. Also important, CSZ Clutches operate well in temperatures from +14 to +104°F (-10 to +40°C). Available in bores ranging from 10 to 15mm, with brake torques ranging from 1.77 ft. lbs. to 7.376 ft. lbs. (2.4 Nm – 10 Nm).

Electrostatically dissipative AX500 tribo-polymer

igus igus.com

igus has developed a wear-resistant material for high-temperature applications that will help ensure reliable and durable operation and will be especially benefi cial for the food and packaging industries. The new material, iglide AX500, is a long-lasting bearing that can stand up to friction, heat, and electrostatic charges. Bearing points in food and packaging industry applications frequently experience high temperatures and speeds, and the new AX500 material functions reliably in such situations. Dosing systems equipped with highly sensitive mechanisms can fi ll thousands of bags in no time. Slides and belts then move the products to a box. At these high speeds, all the packaging mechanisms, especially bearings, are subjected to wear. Plain bearings made of the new iglide AX500 high-performance polymer help make bearing points maintenance-free and durable. The new material is electrostatically dissipative, ensuring that the bags do not stick to each other and employees do not receive electric shocks.

5- and 6-pin versions of M8 connector

Binder binder-usa.com

binder USA has introduced 5- and 6-pin versions of its M8 snapin circular connectors. Previously available in only 3- and 4-pin arrangements, the new versions increase the fl exibility in a wider variety of applications. These cable connectors are suitable for signal transmission applications subject to space constraints, from industrial sensor and actuators to conveyor technology, to drones. The secure snap-in locking mechanism does not use any rotating elements, ensuring quick, simple, and e cient installation. Latching is confi rmed with an audible clicking sound. IP65-level protection o ers highly reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.

Highlights: • binder Series: 718 • >50 mating cycles • Protection rating: IP65 • Rated voltage: 30 V to 60 V • Rated current: 1.5 A to 3 A (5 and 6 pins) and 2 A to 4 A (3 and 4 pins) • Rated impulse voltage: 800 V (5 and 6 pins) and 1500 V (3 and 4 pins)

¾-Length, Single-Slot PCIe Carrier Card

Acromag acromag.com

The APCe8775 carrier card o ers a simple and coste ective solution that allows a PC to communicate with an XMC mezzanine module over a PCI Express (PCIe) bus. System developers can insert an Acromag FPGA module or other XMC module on the carrier card to perform several signal processing functions. The APCe8775 3/4-length PCIe card is suitable for smaller embedded computers and servers with reduced-depth expansion slots. Low-profi le fans provide XMC cooling from within a single expansion slot. The carrier’s PCIe x8 interface supports up to eight serial lanes for rapid data transfer between the plug-in XMC module and the host computer. These carriers are suitable high-performance military and scientifi c research computing systems. They can also help test advanced defense and aerospace systems for later deployment on rugged computing platforms such as VME, VPX, or CompactPCI.

Industrial PC with IP65/67 rating in compact form factor

Beckhoff beckhoff.com

This Industrial PC (IPC) is designed with IP65/67 protection for direct installation on machines or other equipment. The Microsoft Azure Certifi ed and AWS Qualifi ed edge device is suitable for decentralized installation and provides powerful multi-core computing performance. As a robust control computer, the device also reduces control cabinet space requirements, optimizes machine design, and simplifi es subsequent system expansions. The C7015 ultra-compact IPC, which measures just 85 x 167 x 43 mm, is cost-e ective and universally suited to highperformance automation, visualization, and communication purposes. Its applications range from classic machine control to the decentralized edge computing used in advanced Industry 4.0 concepts. The C7015 uses Intel Atom multi-core processors with up to four cores. Compared to conventional ARM-based edge devices, it supports far more demanding applications and as decentralized data pre-processing, and the acquisition of large data volumes.

Threaded line vac

EXAIR exair.com

The 3 NPT Heavy Duty Threaded Line Vac is an in-line conveyor that transports high volumes of material through ordinary pipe. Designed for rugged, industrial applications, it is made of a hardened alloy to prevent premature wear when transporting abrasive or heavy materials like garnet, glass, sand, shot blast, tumbling media, or metal fi ttings. These units feature large throat diameters that make it possible to convey more material over longer vertical and horizontal lengths. The conveying rate is typically twice that of ordinary air-powered conveyors. Heavy Duty Threaded Line Vac conveyors eject a small amount of compressed air through directed nozzles to produce a vacuum on one end, and high output fl ows on the other with instantaneous response. Using a pressure regulator, conveyance rate can be fi nely tuned to suit the needs of your application. There are no moving parts to wear out, and no electricity is required. Seven sizes from 3/4 NPT to 3 NPT fi t standard pipe and coupling sizes. Additional models made from aluminum, 303SS, and 316SS are also available in eleven sizes, with or without threads. Sanitary fl ange models from 1-1/2 to 3-in. are also available.
