productLafert’s HPS and HPI permanent magnet motors are said to maximise efficiency to save energy across a wide speed range. They satisfy both current European mandatory efficiency requirements (IE2 and IE3) and the future IE4 standard.
productPhytron’s stepper motors are said to be extremely reliable, robust and precise – finding and holding positions even without feedback electronics. Up to date high motion controllers improve the motor’s performance, provide smooth running and a high positioning accuracy.
productOn-shoring is gathering pace with the return to the UK of many manufacturing processes that were outsourced abroad over the past two decades. Motion control specialist, Astrosyn International Technology, has noted this phenomenon with a surge in demand for its customised motors and drives.
productFreudenberg Sealing Technologies has developed the Ventoguard material family to seal the bearings of wind power plants. Seals manufactured from this material are said to stand out for their longevity.
productSchneider Electric has launched the Altivar Machine range of variable speed drives (VSDs). Altivar 320 meets the needs of simple or complex machines from 0.18 to 15kW, while Altivar 340 (expected mid-2016), will be compatible with machines to 75kW.
productNord Drivesystems showcased smart control solutions for synchronous and induction motors at the recent 2015 SPS IPC Drives exhibition.
productWhen pumping applications require high levels of hygiene, resistance to chemical agents and gentle handling of delicate ingredients, the new range of Inoxpa PROLAC HCP hygienic centrifugal pumps offers a solution.
productA desiccant dehumidification system from Humidity Solutions is preventing formation of condensate on cold water pipes in a 550m3 pump and compressor room. As well as avoiding corrosion and regular re-painting of pipes, the enhanced humidity control prevents puddles on the floor and deterioration of electrical equipment.
productRiello has introduced low NOx (<80mg/kWh) ‘blue flame' versions to all sizes of its RS range of burners. This is achieved through the use of a low NOx combustion head to ensure emissions conforming to EN 676 Class 3 in capacities from 3600 to 6250kW.
productKOLLMORGEN has expanded its fields of application for the distributed servo technology with a significant increase in performance. The three-phase AKD-N series now delivers currents up to 12A, equivalent to a doubling of output to 4.8kW. The AKD-C central rectifier units are also bringing more power.
