Southco has introduced a new latch solution designed to tackle the problems of cab entry on off-highway equipment head-on: the R4-50 Rotary Latch with Dual Triggers.

Mouser Electronics is now stocking the new RA8D2 microcontrollers (MCUs) from Renesas Electronics. The Renesas RA8D2 MCUs feature breakthrough performance with fully deterministic, low-latency, real-time operation and are packed with high-end graphics peripherals to meet the most demanding requirements for IoT and industrial applications.

Chris Lloyd, Managing Director at Spelsberg UK, explores the requirement for industrial enclosure assembly services.

ifm has announced the launch of its new O6D100 PMD distance sensor, an all-rounder designed to deliver exceptional performance in a compact O6 housing.

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS says it can provide more freedom in system design, with a modular system comprising decentralised drive electronics and efficient motors that offers full consistency. This is based on the NORDAC LINK and NORDAC ON frequency inverters, which now have identical communication and safety functions, making them flexible in use.

ABB has expanded its all-compatible drive portfolio with the introduction of a new wall-mounted frame, extending the ACS580-01, ACQ580-01 and ACH580-01 drive ranges with new 315 kW and 355 kW power ratings.

Engineering has shaped society for centuries, from the earliest tools to today's advanced systems. While technologies have evolved dramatically the core responsibility of engineers has remained the same; to deliver safe, reliable and efficient solutions that perform under real-world conditions, says Sven Brehler, Director of Engineering at TR Fastenings.

Originally developed for demanding pharmaceutical and drinking water applications, Burkert's MS02 Chlorine Cube sensor has proven particularly well suited to monitoring GAC filters in dialysis water treatment systems.

Teknic has expanded the new precision planetary gearbox line to include NEMA 56 and 143 input (115 mm output). These gearboxes include a wide selection of frame sizes, gear ratios, output flanges, and body configurations to accommodate a range of motion control requirements.
