U10M force transducer aids torque measurement
 
U10M force transducer for torque measurementHBM’s U10M tensile/compressive force transducer benefits torque measurement applications where rotating torque transducers are considered unsuitable, such as vehicle test stands. In such applications, the transducer supports the floating base machine through a defined lever arm and transforms the rotating movement into a tensile/compressive force. The U10M provides significant benefits because of its excellent linearity and reversibility error. The symmetrical measurement body geometry gives it low sensitivity to lateral forces. In addition, any remaining lateral force sensitivity is eliminated through the electrical bending moment compensation. The U10M is not easily damaged by any peak loads that happen during testing because it has suitable overload capacity. The robust, low-profile U10M is available for nominal (rated) forces from 1.25kN to 500kN. One force transducer type is available covering all the measuring ranges up to 25kN relevant to vehicle test stands. In combination with TEDS, the Transducer Electronic Data Sheet, and the digiCLIP amplifier, U10M makes an ideal measurement chain. ...

New AS-i coupling module ASKM2 - Now SOLID Safety Light Curtains can also be coupled to AS-i networks
 
Safety sensors with integrated AS-i interfaceLeuze: Safety sensors with integrated AS-i interface are suitable for direct M12 connection to the yellow AS-i cable. Aptly named “coupling modules” are provided for sensors without this kind of interface – either for contact-related switching signals or for safety semiconductor outputs. With the new ASKM2 safe coupling module, the SOLID 2 and SOLID-4E Safety Light Curtains can now also be easily connected to AS-i networks. The ASKM2 converts sensor signals into data words and provides these for forwarding via AS interface. Data and energy transferal is performed simultaneously via the unshielded AS-i flat cable. The ASKM1 safe coupling module, by contrast, allows electro-mechanical safety sensors, such as emergency STOP buttons or safety switches, for example, and also Safety Light Curtains with relay outputs, to be connected as usual to the AS interface ...

New HART® temperature transmitters, T32.XS: Dual-sensor functionality and drift detection
 
temperature transmittersWith the new T32.XS temperature transmitters WIKA has further enhanced the proven concept behind the classic T32.10/T32.30 instruments. Both the measurement and functional characteristics have been optimised. Two independent Pt100/TC sensors can now be connected to the temperature transmitter. The availability of the measuring point is increased through the instrument’s automatic redundancy switching. In addition, the T32.XS offers excellent diagnostic capabilities with its integrated drift detection, combined with extended error signalling. Corrosion monitoring in accordance with NAMUR NE89 is also included. Proven, convenient functions, such as the excellent compatibility with almost all open software and hardware tools, as well as international approvals for applications in hazardous areas set the T32.XS apart. Another feature that comes in handy is the compatibility of the new transmitter with existing software modules. When customers who have been using model T32.X0 transmitters up to now ...

SOLID-4E Safety Light Curtain now provided in 14 mm resolution
 
Sicherheits-LichtvorhängeLeuze: With the 14 mm resolution, users can now realize a reliable hand and finger protection with SOLID-4E, and use all the standard advantages of this Safety Light Curtain. Type 4 safety light curtains in accordance with IEC/EN 61496 meet the core requirements of cost-effectiveness, high immunity against EMC disturbances, robustness and longevity. Protected by a torsion-ally rigid and robust profile housing and their M12 industrial standardized connection technology, the SOLID-4E light curtains also bear up to extremely harsh industrial conditions. Two adjustable different light beam codings prevent optical cross-talking between neighboring devices and maintenance-free OSSD semiconductor outputs provide trouble-free operation. In addition to the integrated standard functions, restart interlock and relay monitoring, the intelligent interface devices of the MSI series are also available for flexible function extensions, such as, muting, single/double break, or connecting safety switches. ...

Inexpensive, Non Contact Thermometer Sensor offers Narrow Field Of View
 
Non Contact Thermometer SensorIeper, Belgium - To expand on its automotive proven family of intelligent infrared, non contact thermometers, Melexis introduces the MLX90614xAC with narrow Field Of View (FOV). Currently shipping versions of the MLX90614 non contact temperature sensor have a wide Field Of View of 90 degrees and target air conditioning and room heater applications. The MLX90614xAC now being introduced has a Field Of View of only 35 degrees. Design engineers can now measure smaller objects or increase the sensor-object distance with this thermometer. The 35 degree FOV was chosen as the minimal Field Of View achievable without the use of costly infrared optics, while still achieving the excellent accuracy specifications of the original MLX90614. In detail: The 35 degree Field Of View of the MLX90614xAC is obtained by adding a viewing angle limiting metal tube to the standard TO-39 housing of the MLX90614. By performing the calibration of the thermometer after this tube has been attached, the accuracy of the temperature measurements can be maintained.

Bellows couplings simplifies fitting torque flange
 
Bellows coupling for torque flangeHBM’s T22 torque flange is now available with an optional matching bellows coupling removing the need for any additional adaptation. Most torque flanges normally require expert knowledge when fitting because transducer geometries, for example, place special demands on handling and installation, especially when conventional designs are involved. The robust T22 torque flange can be directly mounted to the housing because of the installation between stator and rotor. However, both sides of the transducer require connection elements for compensating unavoidable assembly problems, for example, axial, radial and angular offset that are removed by the bellows coupling. By supplying both couplings and transducer, HBM has increased the reliability. Three types of couplings are available in steps from 5 N•m to 1 kN•m. They can be used horizontally, vertically or transversely, are maintenance and wear free, and provide high torsional stiffness. The T22’s low measurement uncertainty – 0.5 accuracy class in compliance with ...
