SOURIAU has obtained K2 qualification of 8N45S Series nuclear grade connectors. Compliant with RCC-E 2005 design and manufacturing standard, these new connectors integrate a screen termination mechanism that ensures perfect continuity and high shielding performances.
Protokraft has introduced the Sabre Series of high speed optoelectronic solutions with Souriau’s ELIO® optical interfaces, to offer a high performance D38999 / ELIO® based optical component solution for avionics optical networks. These components are ideal for use in harsh environments where small size, weight reduction and significant levels of shock, vibration or extreme temperature ranges are experienced: military, aerospace, industrial or utility applications.
The “Volta” building, located in France not far from Paris, has the distinctive feature of consuming just 69 kW/sq. m/year, which is 50% less than conventional service sector buildings. By supplying the energy production system, the air handling units and the comfort units, CIAT is a key player in this performance. Piloted by the main contractor EIFFAGE IMMOBILIER, it is the first service sector operation to be given a BBC Effinergie label in the Paris region.
Maplesoft™ announced the simultaneous release of MapleSim™ 4, the high-performance, physical modeling and simulation tool, and Maple™ 14, the technical computing software for engineers, mathematicians, and scientists. MapleSim 4 introduces a new 3-D construction feature and a flexible probe management tool whereas Maple 14 includes new control system design tools, linearization tools, and new solvers.
Beijer Electronics has entered a strategic alliance with QSI Corporation, a US based company, who develops and sells rugged operator interfaces and mobile data terminals for industrial OEMs and commercial vehicle systems integrators. This strategic alliance will increase Beijer Electronics presence in the US.
DART is on its best way to becoming an accepted standard technology in the process industry. Dynamic Arc Recognition and Termination (DART) is a much easier approach to certify the intrinsic safety of a circuit. It provides considerable more power to drive field devices within explosion hazardous areas and allows longer cable distances. It uses intelligent detection circuits to monitor the entire electric circuit. As soon as the formation of a dangerous spark is detected, the power supply is shut off within microseconds to prevent the spark from becoming incentive. This greatly increases installation options and opens a completely new range of applications.
NORD is currently developing IE3 motors. They will ensure an efficiency increase of at least 10% compared with the IE2 class, primarily by the use of different materials.
NORD Drivesystems launches its myNORD customer portal: this new section of the drive manufacturer’s website, http://my.nord.com, offers on-line tools for registered customers that provide detailed information about order status, product selection, local contacts, and latest news.
This whisper vane pump offers constant flow and quiet running operation. Applications span the whole of fluid systems, while prelube was the first design focus, transfer and process applications also fit well with the pump’s design.
