This month, NASA will be sending its fifth rover to Mars. Its main mission is to collect soil samples that will be analyzed on Earth at a later time. The rover will also carry a helicopter that will perform the first flights on the Red Planet. maxon’s precision dc and brushless dc motors will be […]
KEB America debuts high capacity spring-set load brakes
KEB America’s new High Capacity Load brakes use a spring-set (power-off) design and are electrically released. The brakes are offered in graduated sizes up to 3,200 Nm (2,360 ft-lb). “These brakes are ideal for critical lifting applications that require secondary braking, including cranes, hoists, and lifts”, notes KEB Marketing Manager, Jonathan Bullick. The brakes feature […]

The online tool lets designers locate, select, order, and track spare parts quickly and conveniently, with added features such as account-specific pricing, a favorites list for commonly ordered parts, and an inquiry/support option that connects customers directly to NORD’s e-business team. With the Spare Parts […]
Brakes for elevator and lift applications from Miki Pulley
Spring-actuated BXL Brakes from Miki Pulley are designed for the challenging requirements of elevator and lift applications. Designed exclusively for dynamic braking, these brakes are designed for constant elevator usage where long service life with high wear resistance is required. BXL Brakes feature minimal torque fluctuation, even when stopped from maximum RPM. This ensures a […]
Diverse-redundant absolute encoders for safety-critical applications from POSITAL
Sensor manufacturer POSITAL has introduced an inexpensive and flexible alternative for safety-critical motion control systems. Supplementing its existing range of formally certified SIL safety encoders, the new ‘diverse-redundant absolute encoders’, based on non-certified standard components, are a suitable choice for many installations where functional safety is required. When combined with functional safety PLCs, these devices […]
Next generation RENCO encoders for brushless dc and stepper motors
HEIDENHAIN’s next generation of RENCO brand rotary encoders includes an upgraded R35i model and a successor to the RCML15 encoder with the R35iL low profile encoder. Both are equipped with a new OPTO-ASIC that provides additional features and improved functionality. The RENCO R35i and R35iL encoders are suitable for use in brushless dc motors or […]
Planetary gearboxes with fitted pinion from Neugart
Neugart is extending its portfolio of planetary gearboxes, especially for rack and pinion drives, with an additional option for a fitted pinion from its in-house production. Two specific types of pinion are available: the PK1 pinion is fitted to the toothed output shaft of the gearbox, whereby the secure connection that is required is provided […]
KEB America debuts EtherNet/IP for S6 and F6 drives
KEB America has introduced EtherNet/IP for its S6 servo drive and F6 VFD products. EtherNet/IP is immediately available with firmware version 2.6 and higher with the application control board. KEB’s implementation uses the AC Drive Profile to increase interoperability between similar device types. KEB’s EtherNet/IP has been tested and is certified by ODVA, Inc. Supported […]
Encoders for functional safety-rated machines from HEIDENHAIN
For those needing Functional-Safety-rated (FS) contamination-resistant encoders for machine feedback, AMO (a HEIDENHAIN brand) introduces FS absolute angle and linear encoders. While Functional Safety-rated machines are a standard requirement in the European Union, machine manufacturers outside the EU are now seeing the benefit of including FS in their machines. With these encoders in use on […]
Enhanced communication module from Rockwell provides added resiliency
Using primary and backup adapters for the 1756-EN4TR ControlLogix EtherNet/IP communications module lets industrial producers improve their network resiliency. This new redundant-adapter functionality is provided through a recent firmware update to the communication module. In addition to helping users improve network redundancy, the module’s firmware enhancement also offers more advantages: No single point of failure: […]
