Great in tightest spaces: Ultra-adaptable miniature encoders
Especially when it comes down to finding the suitable encoder for tight installation spaces, Kübler’s miniature encoder portfolio is the right choice. The trend toward compact constructions has been lasting for years and is still strong, and the requirements and demand for compact sensors go on increasing. No compromises are accepted, especially in terms of […]
What is COF or coefficient of friction? What is conductivity and electrostatic dissipation?
Here we answer the common question: What do the technical terms conductivity, electrostatic dissipation and coefficient of friction mean? Then they relate these values to engineered designs that have rubbing parts that necessitate some way to address static-electricity buildup. What are conductivity and electrostatic dissipation? Conductivity is a measure of the ability of a material to conduct electrical […]
