Mechanical power transmission products such as bearings, couplings and speed reducers are now included within ABB’s 2014 short-form catalogue alongside variable-speed drives, electric motors, motion control, HMIs (human-machine interface) and PLCs (programmable logic controllers).
Inspired by global drive-user input, Rockwell Automation engineers designed the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 520-Series of compact AC drives, including the new, economical PowerFlex 523 AC drive, with flexible features that help users be more competitive. Ideal for builders of simple, stand-alone machines, the
WEG, a global leader in electric motors, has launched a new frequency inverter CFW501 that has been designed to meet the needs of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industry.
ABB has launched an on-line tool that makes it easier than ever to select motors to meet different minimum energy performance standards (MEPS). The tool makes it easy to choose the optimum motor to meet MEPS requirements as they change or are
The new type 4503A torque sensor from Kistler Instruments is designed to meet the demands of testing at high speeds in both production quality control and development.
Comparatively few specifiers or users of variable speed drives give serious consideration to liquid-cooled products yet, in appropriate applications, they offer many valuable benefits. Stephen Takhar of Vacon explains The latest ac variable speed drives are remarkably efficient, with figures of around
Harting has introduced new crimp termination versions of its Han(R) Q 2/0?family of high-voltage power interface connectors.??The connectors use Harting’s proven Han(R) C power contacts in the?cross-section range from 1.5 mm2 to 10 mm2 or 16 AWG to 8 AWG.
A marine energy appraisal service is launched by ABB to help vessels lower their fuel consumption by reducing their energy use and improving the environment by cutting CO2 emissions.
Gambica has launched a simple calculator that estimates the energy savings installing a variable speed drive (VSD) on a relevant application can achieve. Gambica, the national organisation that represents the interests of the instrumentation, control, automation and laboratory technology industries in the
Thursday 16 June marked an important milestone for the energy efficiency of low-voltage (LV) motors in Europe. ABB has welcomed the European Union’s (EU’s) introduction of minimum efficiency levels for LV motors, as the new requirements are in-line with ABB’s focus on
