Floyd Bell’s ground-breaking new Twin Turbo Lighted Alarm is a small (approx. 1″x1″) panel-mount piezoelectric audio alert that emits a daylight-viewable bright light when activated, effectively combining Floyd Bell’s popular Turbo series Alarms with Turbo Light Series Panel Indicators into one convenient multi-sensory alarm device. Available in 7 different tone types, the sound output measures up to an impressive 103dB at 2 feet.
The RAFI key switch series with mounting hole diameters of 22 and 30 mm is perfect for simple integration in your application. This is ensured even in difficult space conditions, thanks to the low overall height and mounting depth, as well as the RAMO EDGE mounting bracket, which you can use to assemble the operating elements and indicators directly on profiles without an additional housing.
A Signal Conditioner is a device that converts one type of electrical signal into another type of signal. In most cases, this is meant to take a signal that is difficult to read and convert it into one that is more easily readable by most types of instrumentation. Common signal inputs accepted by signal conditioners include AC current and AC voltage, DC current and DC voltage, frequency, process, strain gauge, temperature and more.
The IMO range of UL 1077 Approved Miniature Circuit Breakers have been designed for protection of electrical installations against overload and short circuits and are manufactured in accordance with UL 1077.
Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation recently announced that it has developed the 760903 current sensor element for use with the company’s world-class power measurement solution, the WT5000 precision power analyzer. The 760903 current sensor element includes a number of new features that simplify the setup and use of external current sensors. This new product will go on sale on April 6.
New IDEM non-contact magnetic coded switches use force-guided contacts and have an internal monitoring system so that they are stand-alone, not requiring the use of a separate safety relay. The wide 14mm sensing range provides a high tolerance to misalignment. Models are available that support automatic reset or manual reset, as well as a selectable auto/manual reset.
The HD2 range of AC Drives are high performance, open and closed loop vector control inverters specifically designed for controlling asynchronous AC induction motors and permanent magnet synchronous motors. Utilising the most advanced vector control technology, the HD2 range offers unparalleled reliability, environmental adaptability, high precision and stable performance.
The new RockStar ModuPlug terminal block modules with PUSH IN connection technology re-invents control cabinet wiring. The innovative terminal solution in the connector frees up space in the cabinet and reduces the time needed for installation. Using the individual modules, combine all the necessary functions for power, signal, data and pneumatics transmission in a single interface.
Metal enclosures manufacturer METCASE has further invested in new technology to meet growing demand for cases and front panels printed with photo-quality legends, logos and graphics. METCASE first introduced digital printing five years ago. Now increased demand has prompted the company to double its capacity. The new equipment is slightly larger than the existing 1800 x 1800 dpi flatbed printer – and 40% faster.
Fibox’s HMI cover kits protect instruments or electronics components that need secure accessibility. The Instrument Protection Window (IPW) permits both viewing and access to readouts and controls which are surface mounted on any metal or non-metallic enclosures. These HMI covers allow for easy viewing of meters or displays and afford direct access to HMI controls on any underlying enclosure.
Novotechnik’s MAP 4000 Series features include programmable input selection and mathematical functions as well as up to four limit switches, and analog outputs. It can perform up to 40 measurements/sec. The MAP 4000 Series’ limit switches are programmable and operate via relays. The multifunctional inputs are also programmable for potentiometers, DC voltage, current/voltage, resistance, and temperature sensors.
TDK Corporation recently announced the introduction of the TDK-Lambda DBM20 DIN rail mount 24V 20A buffer module. The buffer module is ideal for providing short term hold-up or peak power for loads connected to a 24Vdc output AC-DC power supply. It can supply an additional 250ms hold-up at 448W output power, or 2s with a 2.5A load. The extended hold-up time allows equipment to safely shutdown and avoid data loss during AC power interruptions.
AutomationDirect has added new accessories for Eaton 3P series molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs). The new products include universal rotary handles and Flex ShaftT flexible handles, both available for each MCCB frame size and suitable for NEMA 1/4/4X and 12 enclosures. Also added are high performance Flex Shaft two-position flange handles that feature external front mounting and are available for NEMA 1/3R/4/4X and 12 enclosures and for G-, F-, K- and L-frame MCCB models.
STOBER’s more compact version for the encoderless Lean motor. The compact stand-alone SC6 drive controller allows for sensorless control of STOBER LM series Lean motors. These motors provide energy efficiency at the performance level of a synchronous servo motor. They also guarantee high investment protection, thanks to energy efficiency class IE5 and the corresponding higher efficiency compared to IE4 asynchronous motors.
The IP66 AIO All In One hinged enclosure with a clear window is a sturdy enclosure with dual doors including a preinstalled large clear door and plastic mounting panel. The body is made of gray ABS and features a clear large front window door. The IP66 AIO windowed enclosure has a UL-94 HB rating, and is suitable for indoor use. There is a continuous gasket on both the clear and main doors, and is tested for IP66 protection.
