The new IMU F99 inclination sensor from Pepperl+Fuchs provides reliable inclination values for dynamic applications because it is able to immediately filter out external interference. The software adjustment via CAN bus also ensures excellent angular quality, even when the driving behaviour of machines varies greatly.

Igus has taken a further step towards sustainable plastic production by using residues of the high-performance plastic xirodur B180 from injection moulding production to produce a sustainable variant of the popular xiros deep groove ball bearing. The recycled version has almost the same technical properties and load limits as a virgin xiros bearing.

Cliff Electronics has added a new Cat5e RJ45 feedthrough connector to its FT range which all fit into an industry standard XLR connector 24mm diameter panel cut out. The RJ45 FT Jack is a rugged nickel-plated diecast zinc metal construction offering protection to IP65.
