PI (Physik Instrumente) -- a leading manufacturer of piezo actuators and precision motion-control equipment has received a United States patent for its development of innovative multilayer ceramic actuators. PI’s exclusive PICMA® piezo-ceramic actuators are based on the novel stress reduction and encapsulation technologies which increase lifetime by several orders of magnitude both in static and dy...

The new miniature actuators of CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES are based on the concept of the standard Amplified Piezo Actuators. The APA utilises the metallic shell to amplify motions from the piezo stack and to pre-stress it. This pre-stress is required to withstand large external vibrations and to handle large inertia forces created by the payload in dynamic applications. The APA150XXS is an extra thin...

GERWAH's 'S-Line' series is the best choice when torque or rotary motion are to be transmitted from shaft to shaft with the greatest possible angular accuracy. These high-quality couplings compensate any radial, axial, or angular misalignments. When developing new elements, the engineers at GERWAH always turn their special attention to the quality of their products. Even small and less frequently s...

Working Ergonomically - Form and Function at Sit-Stand Workplaces Back pain, disc problems and fatigue. Who isn´t familiar with these problems? Constricted movement and poor sitting posture often lead to postural deformities and other ailments. The use of sit-stand workplaces creates a healthy, diversified working environment for both sitting and standing. With our patented "Inline Drive" we ...

Parasols in all sizes and shapes are used when you need a place in the shade to escape from the sun in summer. Large-size sunshades are particularly difficult to operate because they can only gain the necessary stability through the use of heavy and massive components. Ketterer has developed a drive system for these parasols; this drive system completely relieves the user from manual work. An e...

ROBA-DS disk pack couplings in test stands for large worm gears The Research Institute for Toothed Wheels and Gear Construction (FZG - Forschungsstelle für Zahnräder und Getriebebau) at the Technical University in Munich are putting a worm gear test stand into operation for a research project by the Research Union for Power Transmission (FVA - Forschungsvereinigung Antriebstechnik), which is con...

The DL10 desk lifting columns have been released. With only two parts these new round profile columns offer a more cost-effective solution. This is a benefit to office and work desk manufacturers, who need LINAK-quality but do not need the advantages of LINAK’s classical three-part columns. We consider the DL10 a complementing addition to the family. The older brother, the classical three-part r...

Nexen Announces Roller Pinion Gear System Precision Operation Maintains Accurate Positioning The RPG system features an innovative ring gear and roller pinion technology that provides extremely accurate positioning. The Roller Pinion Gear system also offers backlash-free performance in both directions by maintaining opposing contact with two or more teeth at all times. Patented Tooth...

Demands on the reliability of clutches and brakes increase The mayr slogan "zuverlässig kuppeln sicher bremsen" ("reliable coupling safe braking") is 40 years old. The subject, however, is completely up-to-date. In risk assessment and damage prophylaxes, torque-limiting clutches and safety brakes play an important role. The key selection criterion for safety components is high reliability, which...

The Ogura series of MCNB brakes give customers two mounting options for connecting the hubs to the shaft. The first is the traditional set screw method which can accommodate any round shaft. The second is a D cut shaft which is being used on more high volume applications.

Powerful, compact and versatile. Braking force 116000 N. The new Coremo proposal generated by continuous research and development to meet Customers requirements in the fields of energy, seaport and marine, lifting systems and conveyors, mining and oil. - Spring applied brake – Hydraulically released - Pads linked to the piston but guided by pins - Tangential load transmitted to the pins whil...

The EXBF…001 spring return actuator combined with thermo-electric tripping device (72° duct) are intended for the operation of fire and smoke dampers in ventilation and air-conditioning systems. The actuator moves the damper to its working position while tensioning the spring return until it is powered. If the power supply is interrupted the spring moves the damper back to its safe position. ...

LiMax stands for Linear actuator with maximum stroke force. Despite the slim design of the drive, with a diameter of 60 or 80 mm, stroke forces of up to 5,000 Newton can be realized. This makes the drive ideal for use in applications with minimum space and maximum stroke force requirements. The surface parts are made of stainless steel. The drive is splash-proof (IP65). This allows it to be use...
