The propriety engineered traction fluid with a coefficient of friction of 0.1 to 0.12 transmits torque between the four driving and driven elements. The traction fluid continuously changes from liquid-to-solid-to-liquid in the microscopic spaces between the driving and driven elements.

Zero-Max Crown drives feature heat treated AGMA Class 10 spiral bevel gears. This combination of bearing design and lubrication formulation ensures maintenance free operation for industrial applications.

MSA Series Actuators can be configured to carry loads up to 227 kg (500 lbs), with travel speeds ranging from 1200 to 10,000 mm/sec, and standard lengths up to 6.25 meters.

Learning never stops. Especially in drive technology, it is critical to learn continuously in order to identify innovate opportunities early on and apply them to the development of applications.

PW-82535N0 provides trapezoidal motor commutation and PWM switching, and can operate in either torque or nested speed/torque control modes using Hall Effect sensor feedbac

AMG position and rate gimbal mounts provide ultra-precise angular position, rate, and acceleration for development and production testing of a wide range of systems. The AMG series is ideal for directing optics, lasers, antennas, and sensors at high speed to very precise pointing angles.

By Scott Fawcett, Essentra Components The integration of digitisation and data exchange into the manufacturing process has led to the rapid growth of what is known as smart factories. These facilities, which incorporate smart planning, smart machines and smart data, are completely changing traditional manufacturing processes.

MV1000 drives combine compact modular design, high efficiency, low harmonics, and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) greater than 200,000 hours.

The TUV-certified Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6000 Safety servo drive with GuardMotion incorporates a safe-off functionality that allows users to restart machines faster and reduce downtime in the event of unplanned maintenance. Machine builders can now safely and efficiently power down motion control systems in a wide range of high-speed applications, including packaging, material handling, and converting.

Movitrac LTE B has dynamic braking, low speed motor control, and embedded communications for asynchronous motors.

ANT130-L employs a center-driven, non-cogging, noncontact linear motor. Since the linear motor is a direct-drive device there is no backlash, windup, or stiction.

DDLMs (Direct Drive Linear Motors) eliminate backlash for users requiring high acceleration, high speed, and long life.

PowerXL DG1 adjustable frequency drive is now available in a 600V class.

ABB was awarded a $13 million contract to provide GMD systems and related equipment for General Moly's new Mount Hope pure molybdenum development project, in Central Nevada, USA.

Jorgen M. Clausen, president and CEO, retired and his successor, Niels B. Christiansen has assumed these positions.

The U1000 returns regenerative energy directly back to the power supply, increasing energy efficiency and saving money.

Industrial companies can now benefit from multiple enhancements to the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 6000T medium voltage drives.

Free pallets automation delivers flexibility for operators and can scale when needed to increase production capacity.

Pair the Kollmorgen Essentials Servo Drive with AKMA aluminum washdown motors and AKMH stainless-steel hygienic motors to deliver cost-effective, high-performance motion in washdown and hygienic machines.

Additions include a Safety handbook excerpt, recent case studies, technical papers on topics such as vibration damping, and links to videos and software tools help manufacturers and machine builders advance the flexibility and performance of factory automation solutions.
