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.
Companies can prepare their production facilities for more demanding, data-intensive networking with the new high-performance, all-gigabit Allen-Bradley Stratix 5800 managed industrial Ethernet switch . The switch supports layer 2 access switching and layer 3 routing for use in multiple layers of the architecture. Robust security capabilities and ISA/IEC 62443-4-2 certification help enhance network security.
Klein Tools, for professionals since 1857, recently introduced a new line of conduit benders, available in both heavy-duty cast iron and easy-to-handle reinforced aluminum, both featuring new patent pending Angle Setters that create a hard stop resulting in fast and accurate bends. “Klein Tools has always been an innovator in terms of designing tools, and this new line up of conduit benders is no exception to that,” says Dan Pearson, senior product manager at Klein Tools.
Recently, C&K was proud to reintroduce the RK series of tactile switches with new and improved actuation forces and a variety of sizes to fit your specific application. RKA2 is a low profile switch that is perfect for applications where height is a large consideration and is available with four different actuation forces. RKB2 is a switch that is the most robust in the lineup of the RK series which offers three actuation forces.
The new Roxtec electrical continuity test stick enables you to check the electrical performance of cable transit installations using Roxtec BG or ES sealing modules. Just attach it to the cable shield or armor during installation to ensure a measuring point outside each sealing module. Then use any electrical continuity tester to measure the resistance between the cable shield or armor and the frame to get a quick indication of the electrical performance of the system.
B500ND is the first of a new generation of hand-held cordless tools, characterised by a “Bilinear” mechanical design. Equipped with a Smart Release system which automatically retracts the ram at the end of the operating cycle. B500ND is suitable for crimping electrical connectors onto conductor cross sections up to 600 MCM and uses the die sets common to all Cembre 6 tons tools and heads.
The new CU81xx UPS series are designed for universal use. Due above all to the flexible connection options extending up to One Cable Technology for uninterruptible power supply (UPS-OCT), it is suitable for an extremely broad range of applications. This includes the entire range of Beckhoff components – in particular the Industrial, Panel and Embedded PCs – as well as third-party products.
Industries such as pulp and paper, automotive, tire and rubber, metals and water/wastewater may benefit from corrosive gas protection, which is now standard on Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755TL, TR and TM drives. These drives have been tested to one of the most severe corrosive environment test protocols that combines industry leading, 30-day exposure in mixed flow gas testing per ASTM B845 Method K with proprietary tests for industries with sources of gaseous sulfur compounds.
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.
Pepperl+Fuchs, Inc. recently announced the inclusion of several HMIs into Rockwell Automation’s Encompass Program. The Encompass Partner Program is part of the PartnerNetwork. Joining several other of Pepperl+Fuchs’ products in this Program are the Div 1 Edge Series HMI and the Zone 1/21 VisuNet GXP System. The VisuNet Edge is an all-weather workstation optimized for washdown areas up to Div 1.
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.
Phoenix Contact’s family of 6-mm thin analog signal conditioners now has IECEx approval for use in Zone 2 areas. With this newest approval, the MINI Analog Pro family has the necessary Ex approvals for global use: ATEX, IECEx, and UL Class I, Division 2. Other approvals and certifications include CE, EAC, and DNV-GL. All MINI Analog Pro signal conditioners come in a pluggable housing with integrated current loop test points.
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.
Marketplace innovation from Stahlin Enclosures has been highlighted by nearly 60 years of innovation. One of many examples is the availability of their Dead-Front Panels. These panels, used in conjunction with corner mounting posts, mount at the front of the enclosure. They are hinged on one side, secured to the other, and provide a larger working surface area when compared to the variable height swing panel.
