The Cellulink outdoor cellular router product range from Phoenix Contact is being extended: new versions are now also available that have been specially developed for use in Zone 2 potentially explosive areas. The devices have IECEx and ATEX approval and therefore enable safe operation in demanding industrial environments.

DATAMET wall‑mount enclosures from METCASE are ideal for meeting growing demand in the HMI electronics field, as well as for control and instrumentation applications.

WDS Components has launched a new line of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) components designed to improve safety and reliability in electrostatically sensitive environments such as electronics assembly, laboratories, and cleanrooms.

Kollmorgen has introduced the AKME Series of hazardous location servo motors with ATEX and IECEx global certification for use in locations that require Zone 2 and Zone 22 ratings.

New from Control Technologies is a range of CANtrol kits, which bundle together the CAN hardware and software we most commonly supply, configured specifically for different applications and industries.

To meet the demands of higher performance applications, JAKOB Antriebstechnik offers the KPP metal bellows coupling. This coupling has a nominal torque of over 600 Nm and a maximum torque of approximately 1200 Nm.

With Virtual PLCnext Control, Phoenix Contact is launching a software-based controller solution that enables flexible automation functions in virtualised IT environments.

Jochem Oerlemans, Product Category Manager at Fabory, explores the challenges of machine downtime from galling and preventative greasing, and outlines how pre-lubricated bolts are reducing the total cost of ownership and helping to eliminate machine downtime risks for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users.

Elesa has developed a solution specifically conceived to address the challenges of marine environments: levelling feet manufactured entirely from SUPER-technopolymer, an advanced material engineered to deliver high performance even under the most extreme conditions.

From pacemakers and neural implants to deep‑space probes, opportunities for maintenance are rare and sometimes non‑existent in mission-critical devices. In such applications, a single motor failure can be catastrophic. Here, Dave Walsha, sales and marketing director at EMS, shares advice on how to select the right motor to balance longevity, reliability and resilience in maintenance‑free systems.
