New class 6 industrial ethernet SmartMotors
These new Class 6 SmartMotors have a new powerful processor that operates at nearly twice the processor speed of Class 5. The PID rate is fixed at 62.5u seconds with 64K User program memory (twice that of prior SmartMotors) and larger Cam point memory space for cam tables to >3K points. These SmartMotors are able […]
Powerline filter helps supplies meet noise standards
Excelsys Technologies announces that the company’s recently released Xsolo and XF power supplies can now be paired with a custom-designed power line filter to meet stringent conducted emission standards. Excelsys and Astrodyne-LCR teamed up to create the filter, LCR Model F19374, which was designed specifically to bring the complete Excelsys XF Modular Power Supply Platform […]
Magnetic ring encoder benefits large rotating machinery
The Leine & Linde MRI 2000 rotary encoder is designed to provide feedback solutions for large rotating machinery, typically found in the Construction, Pulp & Paper, Oil & Gas, Wind and Marine industries. Introduced two years ago, this encoder has now received significant performance upgrades. The MRI ring encoder is segmented into pieces, something that […]
ATEX-certified dynamic plate brake for topdrive applications
Wichita Clutch recently introduced the 118VM Topdrive Plate Brake for oil and gas applications. The 118VM brake is a hydraulic pressure applied, single plate unit developed for high-energy dynamic stopping and parking in vertical-shaft mounted applications. It also has the capacity to handle repeated dynamic stops in succession. The 25.2” (640 mm) diameter brake is […]

Step-FlexTM coupling solving resonance problems in ball screws
Step-Flex, the new class of shaft couplings, eliminates resonance in stepper motor ball screw assemblies. Now with this video, system designers can see how this innovative two-part elastomer element combination coupling operates. Step-Flex Couplings are designed to “mechanically tune” the system for optimal performance when a stepper motor is used to drive a linear actuator. […]
Bringing on-line vibration measurement to wind turbine generators
Planning maintenance activities on wind turbine generators, rather than dealing with emergencies, can result in significant reductions in operating expenses. To assist in that process, Leine and Linde offers rotary encoders equipped with a web-based Advanced Diagnostic System (ADS) providing real-time tracking of the generator condition. Especially well suited for use in wind turbine generators, […]
