Electrical and Electronic Equipment

RS Components (RS) has launched the RS PRO Wiring and Connectivity portfolio, comprising high-quality and price-competitive connection products for industrial and networking applications across myriad market sectors.

Once the artistic work of creating a fragrance is complete and the formula has been signed off, the process of extracting the raw materials and blending begins. Safety and compliance are a priority during the manufacturing process and so, when flavours and fragrances giant Givaudan wanted to strengthen its safety critical alarm systems at its Kent facility, it partnered with Omniflex to upgrade its fleet of annunciators.

A family of clamp meters that make electrical measurements much safer for servicing and maintenance technicians has been introduced by Fluke.

Resistors are commonplace power components in industrial buildings - but their use is not limited to the factory floor. In many industries, resistors play a vital role in the power management of electrical equipment. Here, Simone Bruckner, Managing Director of Cressall, explores the applications of resistors beyond the four walls of industrial buildings.

Energy supply using polymer e-chains are virtually unlimited, whether the application is linear, vertical or rotational. And new polymer materials, improved designs and customer-specific requirements are continually expanding the product range, exemplified by the E2.1, the new e-chain standard for the small and medium load range.

REO UK is set to showcase its range of chokes and transformers at the virtual EMC and Compliance International (EMC&CI) event, taking place on 19th and 20th May, 2021. This follows REO UK having further expanded its choke manufacturing capabilities to produce electrical components that are more lightweight, thermally efficient and that provide lower losses.

Atlas Copco’s latest G2-7 models are now the smallest, oil-injected rotary screw compressors in the company’s professional portfolio. Designed to replace the current GX2-7 range, boost productivity and lower operational costs, they are an unrivalled low-cost solution for small companies, workshops and operations with an infrequent air demand that are looking to expand their compressed air applications.

Electro Mechanical Systems (EMS) Ltd remains a distributor of advanced linear actuators and motion products, designed and manufactured by Ewellix. Formerly known as SKF Motion Technologies, Ewellix manufactures components for a wide range of applications including medical equipment, factory automation and automotive manufacturing, and their extensive product line is available in the UK from EMS.

While the most destructive forms of transient surges are typically lightning and utility load switching, these two events are thought to account for just 20% of all transient surge activity. The remaining 80% occur in the supposed safety of the factory walls. So how can plant managers protect their equipment from its own production line? Here Simone Bruckner, Managing Director of Cressall, investigates.

Energy chains for protecting moving cable assemblies in cranes can be damaged by foreign objects like loose tools, causing costly system failures. This prompted igus to develop a new push/pull force monitoring system. The EC.PR system records the precise force values of the moving end and adjusts the force limits, preventing potentially catastrophic damage to the crane and expensive repairs.
