BEI Kimco’s Actuator with Magnetic Spring Technology Solves Challenging Application Requirements for High Reliability and Superior Service LifeBEI Kimco Magnetics, recently met the challenging valve control actuator requirements for a medical ventilator system for critical care patients. Two Kimco Voice Coil Actuators support different functions within the ventilator. One actuator controls the diaphragm valves that regulate the air pressure within the patient's lungs during the inhalation and exhalation cycles. A second actuator operates a safety valve that diverts the air flow around the ventilator in the event of a system malfunction or power failure. Both actuators incorporate a magnetic spring that establishes the preferred or home position. This feature was an important design element to support maximum battery life and the fail-safe valve mechanism. 
New speed switch from Chalwyn simplifies stopping an over-speeding engineA new speed switch, the RevGuard, has been added to the Chalwyn range of electronic engine control systems. This speed switch continuously monitors engine rpm and, should the engine rpm exceed a pre-set limit, transmits a signal to close the air intake shutoff valve to stop an over-speeding diesel engine.

50 years service brings Royal Award to Landia’s pump and mixing maestroKnow something about pumps and mixers? In a test you might not want to come up against Ewald Green, who has received the rare and coveted Royal Award in Denmark for long and faithful service, after completing an incredible 50 years with Landia. 
CF15 Oil and Fuel Pumps with a self contained pressure regulatorAnyone installing or rebuilding a large engine should consider a pre-lube system. A substantial part of large engine lifetime wear occurs at dry starts after the lube oil has drained from the bearings and the oil galleries during shutdown. An upfront investment in a pre-lube system can pay for itself many times over by greatly extending an engine's service life. New Low Energy Solenoid Valves Provide High Flows in Miniature PackagesSensortechnics presents the new 2-way and 3-way Ten-X solenoid valves. The Ten-X series is available with integrated 'Hit and Hold' drive electronics which significantly reduces the power consumption and heat generation using pulse width modulation (PWM).

Larox Heavy Duty Knife Gate Valves are engineered to be used in tough environments with demanding media in the same industrial applications as company's well known pinch valves. 
Burkert Robolux Valves Reduce Valve Requirement from 8 to 4, & Eliminate Deadlegs on Asthma Inhaler Cartridge MachineBurkert has supplied a Robolux valve system on a machine that fills asthma inhaler cartridges for a multinational pharmaceutical company. The unique Robolux design has enabled Burkert to reduce the costs of the system drastically, by cutting the valve requirement from eight diaphragm valves down to four. In addition, because Burkert's integrated design has only one block – compared to two for competitors - there are fewer weld connections for the customer to make, reducing installation time and validation costs; and the integrated design also means that internal volumes are smaller, eliminating deadlegs and maximising sterility. 
Burkert Robolux Units Reduce Diaphragm Valve Requirement By 75%, Eliminate Deadlegs & Cut Cycle Times On Sterile Filling UnitBurkert's Robolux valves have eliminated deadlegs and reduced the requirement for diaphragm valves from 8 to 2 on sterile filling units used in the production of Pulmicort, one of the world's leading asthma medicines. The Robolux valves have also greatly simplified the design of the filling units, cutting cycle times and making maintenance and cleaning procedures far easier to carry out.
