Hazardous area pressure sensor
08 July, 2008 | Turck Australia Pty Ltd
Turck has expanded its line of pressure sensors to include a specialty sensor for hazardous areas. The PT4300 is a media isolated stainless steel pressure sensor for use in oil and gas, refrigeration, gas compression, test stands and industrial OEM applications.
Brushless DC servomotors
08 July, 2008 | ERNTEC Pty Ltd
The elctromechanically commutated Smartshell DC micromotors from Faulhaber are made with an all-in-one design concept — lamination stack, coil and PCB combined in a single-moulded injection — which provides the motors with a robust housing. The rotor consists of a permanent NdFeB magnet fitted onto a through shaft supported by preloaded ball bearings.
APL 8000 series pallet labeller
08 July, 2008 | Dy-Mark Identification Solutions
The APL 8000 series is purpose-built for pallet labelling and designed for single-, dual- and three-panel applications in GS1-128 bar code labels printing.
Failsafe manual reset thermostats
08 July, 2008 | Practical Control Solutions
The KMF series of failsafe thermostats monitor temperatures in furnaces, ovens, kilns, boilers or any application where an overtemperature condition would result in a critical failure. These thermostats work on the principle of liquid expansion from a bulb into a capillary which actuates a microswitch contact.
Self-validating point level sensor
08 July, 2008 | Metaval Engineering Sales
The SafePoint from Monitor Technologies LLC is a self-validating point level sensor for monitoring the presence and absence of powders, granular materials and other bulk solids. It is completely fail-safe and can be used in bins, silos and other vessels with process temperature conditions up to 399°C to shut off bin filling and protect against overfilling due to unknown sensor failures.
MeanWell DIN rail power supply
08 July, 2008 | Soanar Limited
MeanWell has launched a slim switching power supply, the MDR-10 series, for low-wattage DIN rail (TS-35/7.5 or 15) applications. Available in 5, 12, 15 and 24 V and up to 2 A, the 10 W Class I models are enclosed within a slim 22.5 mm isolated plastic case and feature a universal AC input and include short-circuit, overload and overvoltage protection.
Output filter for motor drives
08 July, 2008 | Westek Electronics Pty Ltd
The Schaffner Model 510 output filters reduce voltage slew rate (dV/dt) from inverter drives for variable-speed motors. High-voltage slew rates can cause overstressing of long motor drive cables and cause insulation breakdowns in motor windings.
DVZ Series vortex flowmeters
08 July, 2008 | Kobold Instruments Pty Ltd
The DVZ Series flowmeters are compact and inexpensive and can be utilised in all applications for low-viscosity fluids. Since the units operate without any mechanical moving parts, they are practically maintenance free and have distinct advantages compared with units based on the float or rotor principle.
Peer-to-peer ethernet I/O modules
08 July, 2008 | Advantech Australia Pty Ltd
A firmware enhancement for the ADAM-6000 ethernet I/O modules adds advanced peer-to-peer (P2P) and graphic condition logic (GCL) functionality.
Process performance software
08 July, 2008 | Honeywell Building Automation
Honeywell has announced Uniformance Process Studio, a desktop software package that allows plant engineers to more easily analyse process performance. The user-friendly interface includes workflow management applications that enable engineers to build trend graphs and graphics with minimal training or manual configuration.
