New inductive positioning system from Pepperl+Fuchs offers precise position detection
Pepperl+Fuchs’ new PMI F90 inductive positioning system works with a unique, patented multi-coil system. The absolute position of the actuator is precisely detected from the measuring signals of a single coil. In addition to sending the analog position signal, switch points can also be defined. The sensor can detect two actuators as well as the […]
Lexium MDrive from Schneider Electric now with multi-turn absolute encoder
A multi-turn absolute encoder feature is now available integrated with all-in-one motor and electronics Lexium MDrive products. Without increasing product size, NEMA size 17 (42 mm) and 23 (57 mm) rotary and linear stepper motors with integrated electronics deliver multi-turn absolute encoder benefits in a compact size and at an extremely competitive price. Now with […]
ETP shaft-locking device from Zero-Max provides verifiable component installation
Now there’s a better way to mount components on motion control shafts while verifying the installation for quality purposes. It’s the ETP Express shaft-locking bushing that locks into position gears, pulleys, sprockets and other components in automated machinery. Handling torque ranges from 34 to 12,538 ft-lb (46 to 17,000 Nm), these ETP Express shaft-locking bushings […]
