An innovative new programmable hydraulics controller has been launched by Parker Hannifin, for use by OEMs and system integrators for the development of mobile and off-highway equipment. Designated IQAN-MC3, and forming part of Parker’s IQAN family of motion and control products, the new device enables both safety and operational functions to be controlled from a single module; this allows system design and build times and costs to be cut, while improving machine performance, safety and productivity.

ATC Semitec now offers the widest range of protection devices for lighting circuit protection. PTC thermistors suitable for over-current, time-delay and SMD versions for cost-effective over-temperature applications. CRDs offer a constant current source for LED circuits.

Rittal’s new connector gland offers significantly less assembly work, a flexible sealing system for different cable diameters and simple entry of pre-assembled cables for easy routing.

Volex Group plc, the global interconnect cable assemblies and power cables group, has been selected by a leading provider of telecoms infrastructure to manufacture a range of its Optical Distribution Frames (ODFs) for telephony and broadband environments. This opportunity will allow Volex to expand its product range and provide more technical value-add services enabling the Original Equipment Manufacturer to consolidate its supplier base.

UNIPOWER’s latest addition to its DPG Series of GMT Fuse distribution panels is designed for users who need to protect DC circuits in a rack mounted system. The DPG1U Series provides distribution and overload protection for up to 10 circuits per side in A/B feed configuration and with this new version, up to 20 circuits in single-feed mode. The 1U high unit can be mounted in either a 19 or 23in. rack.

Yokogawa Electric Corporation announces the release of the HXS10 controller, a new product that controls the actuation systems that move heliostats (reflectors) and photovoltaic panels. The HXS10 helps to maximise power generating efficiency by controlling the angles of heliostats and solar panels so that they stay pointed at the sun as it moves across the sky.

The introduction of the CONTI SYNCHROCHAIN® ‘one-for-all’ belt drive solution that is ideal all-round synchronous belt for arduous applications, where it is essential to have not only maximum power transmission, but also maximum resistance to an adverse working environment. It is also a credible alternative to chain drives, as no lubrication is required.

For applications that require a range of cables to enter a junction box or enclosure, Hylec-APL has introduced a cable entry plate that can significantly speed-up the wiring process and cut costs. The plate can be built-up using a range of pre-formed push-fit IP65 cable entry options, allowing custom combinations of cable entries in one enclosure. The big news is that the entire design and build process can be carried out using a new photorealistic 3D application on the company’s website.

Leading power supply manufacturer TDK-Lambda adds further models to its popular Genesys™ 3.3kW and 5kW compact 2U format programmable power supplies to increase application reach. The new models offer the same high efficiency, flexibility and reliability for which TDK-Lambda Genesys™ products have become well renowned, and complement existing models in the Genesys™ 1U, 2U, 3U and Half-Wide portfolio that covers power ratings from 750W to 15kW.
