Spelsberg’s new IP65 HT Series for trace heating and frost protection applications comes ready-assembled off-the-shelf saving installer’s time and money in specifying and assembly. The HT Series incorporates tough TK enclosures and versatile RK DIN rail terminals and there is the option of bespoke units, providing a flexible solution for a range of application areas.

Phidgets Inc. released today the 1031 - PhidgetLED-64 Advanced; the 1031 replaces the popular 1030 - PhidgetLED-64.

Eaton’s Energy Saver Rectifier technology is designed to reduce wasted energy by at least 50 percent with the added benefits of producing less heat into the equation, resulting in lower cooling requirements.

Britain is facing a future where energy prices are going to escalate and energy sources will become insecure and unreliable according to a recent report from the industry regulator Ofgem. It stated that a combination of a global financial crisis, tough environmental targets, increasing gas import dependency and the closure of ageing power stations are to blame for rising costs and uncertain supplies.

The Program 3000 ELM cabinet locking and monitoring system from EMKA is designed to meet the needs of modern security systems both in terms of personnel access, control/logging procedures and to handle increasing needs for internal cabinet environmental monitoring/control.

Sealing Process Offers Highest Levels of Hermetic Performance, Greater Flexibility

The VTR2 series of high power strobe lights from Gardasoft can be used for automatic number plate recognition and other traffic applications. These include classification of vehicles based on their type (car, lorry, motorcycle, etc.) or vehicle brand using software from STEMMER IMAGING

Two new AC/DC power supplies announced by Powersolve are single output units designed to provide 650W (PAK650) and 1000W (PAK1000) from a low profile 1U high metal case. Both the PAK650 and PAK1000 feature an 85-264VAC/127-370VDC input voltage range with active PFC and offer active current sharing for parallel operation.

Festo has launched an extensive new range of ultra-compact precision electric actuators that can be ordered via the web from its on-line shop. This means that machine designers and builders can now take delivery of positioning actuators offering ±10 micron repeatability within 24 hours of placing their order. Downloadable PC-based software for dimensioning electromechanical linear axes and electric motors, backed by native CAD models of the actuators, further helps users accelerate design-in and machine build.

SMP Sintermetalle Prometheus (SMP) is presenting chokes for inverters in photovoltaic systems at this year’s Intersolar trade show in Munich this June. These inductive components feature low losses, very low stray fields and a highly compact design, which significantly increases the chokes’ – and therefore the inverters’ – energy efficiency. SMP uses core materials made of powder composites with low magnetostriction that have been purpose-designed specifically for this application.
