Electrical and Electronic Equipment

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.

Engines from all over the world arrive at DiPerk’s workshop in Peterborough to be maintained, repaired and overhauled. So, what happens behind the scenes? Here, Mark Prentice, Workshop Manager at DiPerk Power Solutions, explains the journey an engine takes in the workshop.

For safe cable guidance in unsupported and long travels, igus has developed the E4Q energy chain. The bionically inspired design saves weight, while crossbars with locking tabs reduces the assembly time of the e-chain by 40%. To facilitate assembly further, igus has launched a new interior separation system for the E4Q. Universal separators are placed on the chain crossbars, shelves can be inserted from the left or right, along either the inner or outer radius. A mechanism in the separators automatically locks the chain when closing.

Advances in elevator technology have been critical facilitators of the high-rise structures that define our urban skylines. However, upgrades in elevator safety, robustness, quality, space efficiency, and performance are needed to support infrastructure development and meet societal needs. Here John Mitchell, Global Sales and Marketing Director at CP Automation explains the importance of opting for the right Surge Protection Device (SPD) to reduce unnecessary down-time.

To deliver live demonstration when travel and visits are restricted, Inspekto is offering private and personalised online presentations of its flagship product, the INSPEKTO S70, thanks to its new virtual demonstration capabilities. The company invested in presentation technology to showcase the features of the INSPEKTO S70 from a variety of perspectives.
