New guide trough system for plastic energy chains
Metal cable-guidance systems are typically difficult to assemble, heavy, and prone to corrosion. igus, with U.S. headquarters in East Providence, R.I., developed the guidelite guide trough for plastic energy chains in 2015 to offer an alternative that was lightweight, easy to assemble, and cost-effective. “This year, we have further improved the system with a new, […]
Ethernet cable for flex and twist applications
LUTZE, Charlotte, N.C., is introducing two shielded MOTIONFLEX Ethernet cables with a teal TPE jacket, cataloged as A1040020 CAT5E SF/UTP (4 × 2 × AWG24) and A1040030 CAT6A SF/UTP (4 × 2 × AWG24). Suitable applications for the products include moderate linear flexing and torsion (± 270°), free flexing, and static installations, according to the […]
HARTING downsizes electrical connections and optical transmission
Electric motors are indispensable to industrial drive technology and today’s automated production processes. At constant speeds, their control is quite simple. However, it is often necessary to regulate the motor speed, which adds a layer of complexity. Speed regulation in the larger power classes is handled with IGBT semiconductors. These devices can switch large loads […]
Servo and feedback cables UL-approved to 90°C
HELUKABEL, with U.S. operations based in Elgin, Ill., just announced it is upgrading the entire TOPSERV and TOPGEBER product portfolio from 80°C to 90°C UL styles. Servo and feedback cables with higher heat resistance benefit from a longer service life, making them preferred in motor environments. Tests confirm that the conductor insulation maintained excellent thermal […]
Industrial-grade cable for servomotors
Lapp Group USA, Florham Park, N.J., has introduced its ÖLFLEX SERVO 7TCE, a highly flexible, oil-resistant servo cable with TC-ER approval. Because it is suitable for use directly on industrial machines and in cable trays, this new cable eliminates the need for two different kinds of cable or the use of conduit in run. According […]
