ACE Controls presents an all new e-commerce web store, making AceControls.com a true one-stop shop for sizing, configuring, and now purchasing shock absorbers or gas springs. All the previously offered tools and resources are still available on the website, including product sizing tools, accessory configurators, tutorials, and a full CAD library with part drawings. Being […]
Orbex slip rings offer IP65 protection for demanding environments
The Orbex Group now offers IP65-rated slip rings for reliable use in demanding industrial or outdoor environments. Units include the 200 series of harsh environment slip rings, as well as the 500 and 300 series (with the -F option) of through-bore slip rings and miniature slip rings, respectively. Constructed from stainless steel, the rugged 200 […]
How are fast Fourier transforms used in vibration analysis?
Fast Fourier transforms are mathematical calculations that transform, or convert, a time domain waveform (amplitude versus time) into a series of discrete sine waves in the frequency domain. Machine vibration is typically analyzed with measurements of the vibration frequency, displacement, velocity, and acceleration. The latter three — displacement, velocity, and acceleration — are time domain […]
New SmartSense24 sensorless brake and clutch monitoring from Regent Controls Inc.
Regent Controls, a Carlyle Johnson Company, now sells a SmartSense24 Sensorless Brake or Clutch Status Monitor. The first product of its kind, SmartSense24 controls and monitors spring-applied electrically-released brakes and clutches — increasing the life of these motion components. The controller provides real-time status and wear condition on an LED display by electronically sensing armature […]
How is machine vibration defined?
Machine vibration is a normal, and typically unavoidable, result of moving and rotating parts, often caused by standard manufacturing and assembly tolerances that lead to clearances between mating parts or imbalances in rotating parts. And while routine machine wear can cause vibration to increase over time, when a machine experiences a significant or sudden increase or […]
New DieQua PGW Series hollow-bore-output planetary reducers
Now DieQua Corp. (solution-based supplier of gear drives) sells PGW Series reducers in variations that are particularly suitable for belt and leadscrew-driven axes. The manufacturer works with engineers to find optimal products from a wide range of available gearbox technologies for design requirements. DieQua’s PGW planetary reducers are: Low-backlash designs — with backlash down to […]
New BXW model spring-actuated brakes from Miki Pulley
Miki Pulley’s BXW spring-actuated electromagnetic brakes provide reliable dynamic braking when the power is disengaged and excellent performance in long-term holding applications. BXW brakes use internal compression springs to provide power-off, fail-safe braking. The primary moving part in this robust but simple brake design is the armature plate. When actuated, the brake compression springs push […]
Video: What is a torque limiter?
Torque limiters are mechanical and electromechanical power-transmission devices that protect machine sections (or workpieces they’re servicing) from overloads, crashes, and damage from jams. Torque limiters work either by slipping or completely disconnecting the drive from the driven load. Some torque limiters of the former type (especially those employing friction plates) are also called slip clutches. […]
New micro brakes for servo motor applications from Ogura
A new line of micro brakes from Ogura is designed specifically for servo motor applications, especially in robotics and medical equipment. Ogura micro holding brakes come in both square and round designs with the newest round design being 10 mm in diameter with length is as short as 9 mm. Micro brakes can weigh 20 […]
Miki Pulley introduces BXH “Lock-In-Place” brakes
“Lock-In-Place” Brakes from Miki-Pulley provide long-term positioning for direction control wheels on picking forklifts and similar applications. Designed for both braking and holding, these Power-Off engaged BXH model brakes from Miki-Pulley are opened using an electromagnetic field, and hold in a default closed position with compression springs. They have double the torque of similar brakes […]
