Hygiene-sensitive production and packaging processes require sensors that meet the most stringent requirements. Leuze makes this possible with sensor series intended for the food industry and with its many years of application know-how.

The compact IIO 041 from SIGMATEK’s S-DIAS series has four SDCI master ports and four digital inputs (+24 V DC/3.7 mA/0.5 ms). With SDCI Single-Drop Digital Communication Interfaces (IO-Link), a manufacturer-independent point-to-point connection can be realised for connecting intelligent actuators and sensors in accordance with IEC 61131-9.

The nEDC300 from Edwards Vacuum is the latest iteration of mono claw vacuum pumps which boasts a range of inventive attributes that not only boost performance but also minimise noise levels, improve reliability and facilitate on-site maintenance.

The very first patent for a roller screw was granted in 1949, but roller screw technology is still a less recognised option when compared to other mechanisms for conversion of rotary torque into linear motion. Mark Moore of Moore International looks at why, and discusses the advantages of roller screw technology.

OMRON has launched the K7DD-PQ Series, an advanced motor condition monitoring device designed to automate the detection of abnormalities in manufacturing sites. This series specifically focuses on monitoring servomotors that frequently change speed and motors with rapidly changing loads.

Ruland has released mountable shaft collars with face holes for applications where the shaft collar needs to be directly mounted to a component such as a pulley, sprocket, or metallic plate.

The Axioline P product family from Phoenix Contact enables standard and intrinsically safe (Ex i) input/output signals to be acquired via redundant Modbus/TCP bus couplers. Installed in Ex zone 2, the devices enable the signals of the input/output modules to be connected directly from Ex zones 0, 1, or 2.

Abssac’s precision lead screws are essential components that convert rotational motion into linear displacement. These screws are available in various sizes to cater to a wide range of applications.

The experts at ETEL explain the features and benefits of torque motors, highlighting how they can offer improved machine performance with reduced cost of ownership.

The Han S connector range from HARTING offers secure connection technology for modular battery storage systems. The compact and flexible housings accommodate contacts for currents up to 200 A and 1500 V and the bulkhead housings can be flexibly rotated through 360 degrees.
