The business division of Huco Dynatork that is focused on power transmission is stepping up several gears. With the recent introduction of the entire Mädler range of power transmission products – nearly 19,000 variants in total – the company has massively expanded its capability. And now it has just become the UK distributor for two Italian manufacturers that will allow an impressive choice of geared motors to be added to its range.

Semiflex from SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG is a torsionally-stiff, precise shaft coupling, which is short in length to fit into small envelopes. Radial shaft misalignment is compensated via pivoting parallel movement of two pairs of coupling links. By design this compensation is free of restoring forces.

The Loewe GK from SCHMIDT-KUPPLUNG is designed to offer generous angular and radial misalignment compensation and at the same time resists axial motion.

Jena Tec a leading supplier of precision machine tool components including ballscrews, linear rail, actuators and machine tool spindles has joined the Bearing Net network to offer its customers a complete service including precision spindle bearings

Jena Tec has raised its profile with the membership of the European Power Transmission Distributors Association http://www.eptda.org/

A new production process based on stainless steel extrusions is raising the quality and consistency of industry-standard compression tube fittings - without ratcheting up the costs. The move comes from the leading tube fittings manufacturer, the instrumentation products division of Parker Hannifin. The innovative technology is aimed at users in processing markets such as oil, gas and chemicals, where the need for integrity and reliability is paramount.

The successful and efficient operation of many production and treatment processes is dependent upon the reliability of Centrifugal pumps. Accounting for about 80(percent) of the UK market, alone, these pumps are used for a variety of applications; ranging from the provision of cooling fluids during the manufacturing process, to the removal of wastewater.

Steinmeyer, Inc. announced a new product the LT490-450-EDLM! This 2 axis system is ideal for laser machining as well as other extended travel applications where precision positioning is critical. It’s a fully enclosed 2 axis stage with 450 mm stroke. Included inside this precision assembly are iron-core linear motors, linear guideways, linear measuring system and E chain cable carriers. Maximum speed is 500 mm/s with acceleration of 5 m/s². Accuracy in each direction is 1 micron with ± 0.5 micron repeatability.

The AGPS fixed jaw parallel grippers offer a unique gripping solution for applications that require a zero point for exact part pick up or placement and high loading capability. The compact size of this pneumatic gripper linear actuator is ideal for use in tight spaces needing large payloads with a quick clamping cylinder.

SKF has developed a new bearing solution for the latest environmentally friendly micro-hybrid cars. Its new magnetic sensor bearing is part of Valeo's StARS (Starter Alternator Reversible System) micro-hybrid system, which enables vehicle manufacturers to reduce the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of their cars without the need for any radical changes in the engine architecture.
