Designing and building pharmaceutical processes or skids demands close coordination between mechanical, electrical and instrumentation, and automation engineering teams. Damien Moran, Industry Account Manager for Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology at Burkert, explains an efficient development route.

PI provides a large selection of piezo ceramic linear actuators for different size, speed, and force applications. At the top end of the force spectrum is the N-216 PiezoWalk Linear Actuator, a high-load, high precision linear actuator designed for applications that require many millimetres of travel, high force, and extremely stable nanometre-class positioning.

Comparable to stainless steel when it comes to hygiene and corrosion resistance, more efficient when it comes to space requirements and scalability, the NXD tupH surface treatment from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS opens up new planning options for primary packaging.

With the new B23 connector, binder presents a new generation of hybrid connectors for industrial automation. The series combines power supply and shielded data transmission in one compact connector and enables Ethernet transmission rates of up to 100 Mbit/s.

Kollmorgen Corporation announces the expansion of the Kollmorgen Essentials portfolio with the addition of the PCMM2G Essentials controller and new high-voltage drive capability up to 4 kW. Together, these additions extend the Essentials advantage to support a broader range of industrial applications and motion requirements.

Rockwell Automation has announced new capabilities of its EtherNet/IP In-cabinet Solution, expanding support for additional motor control and protection devices. The update enables manufacturers to connect more components inside the control panel, simplify wiring and gain deeper diagnostic insight, without redesigning their existing architecture.

When aerospace production ramps up, the biggest risks don't show up in strategy decks - they show up on the line. Think missed torque values, manual checks under time pressure and data captured later because output comes first. Here, Howard Green, senior account manager at Desoutter Tools examines how digital process control can reduce uncertainty when reliability matters most.

To ensure stability, secure anchoring and orderly installations, Elesa expands its range with the new DCE tube clamps, compliant with the DIN 3015 standard and designed for the reliable fastening of rigid and flexible pipes across a wide range of applications.

Arc flash is a sudden, violent release of electrical energy in a confined space, often occurring within electrical switchgear panels. This phenomenon can cause severe injuries or even fatalities due to the intense heat, pressure, and blast effects. It’s a hidden danger that must be taken seriously in any industrial or commercial setting, as the experts at Rittal explain.

Caparoc from Phoenix Contact is an individual modular system for overcurrent protection. With many combination options, intuitive operation, and a simple design-in, users can set up their own personal standard for device protection that is fit for the future.
