Parker's Universal Motor Adapter (UMA) makes it easier than ever for machine designers to specify their linear stage with whatever motor they'd like while avoiding the often drawn-out customization process.

Echoline Low Pressure Monitor was developed for semiconductor manufacturers to monitor and balance gas exhaust systems, alert plant engineers to problems, and automate adjustment of high and low trip points before and after system maintenance. The XHP Transducer is designed for accurate, reliable sensing of process gases.

Parker Domnick Hunter Process Filtration now offers their E-series vessels in 316 stainless steel. This expanded offering compliments Parker's current 304 stainless steel models.

Parker's PM-DD servo motor is designed to provide high torque and high accuracy. Tapped mounting holes and a hollow through bore allow this motor to be used in a variety of applications that require the load to be attached directly to the motor.

GasShield? PENTA? filters offer the high flow and low ΔP of Teflon?, but with a 100% nickel filter element. This design reduces filter element surface area, resulting in lower levels of moisture retention and faster purge time.

These new models connect directly to the database and accelerate leveraging real-time data for productivity improvement, predictive maintenance, and quality traceability at production sites.

Unplanned downtime is very expensive for any company— and emergency downtime can be disastrous for profits and continued viability. Emergency downtime (when something has gone seriously, catastrophically wrong) can cost five times as much as downtime for planned maintenance.

Designing an effective and long-lasting system—one that will not only meet current requirements but will also provide exceptional performance and quality in the future—is a challenge that many manufacturers struggle to meet. This article looks at how to design an optimal system. Learn more

Precision Sensors XHP Series "High Purity" Transducer is designed for accurate, reliable, long-term sensing of process gases used in the manufacturing of semiconductor products. LED status light verifies that the transducer is operating correctly. Color band labels are provided with the unit to allow the installer to mark and identify the measured gas.?

The innovative battery-less absolute encoder operates through the combination of gears recognizing the rotational position data, which eliminates the need for a battery (and battery replacement) that is normally required for a conventional absolute encoder.

Determining problems and errors in the field just got easier with the new WIKA MH-3 pressure transmitter for mobile working machines. WIKA Instrument, LP captures the latest pressure sensor technology with the addition of the diagnostic function in the new MH-3 pressure transmitter.

A wide variety of product types are in the new RCP6 series, which also include wide slider types and wide radial cylinder types, and no battery maintenance is required because there is no battery. Since home return is not required at equipment startup or after an emergency stop, this feature reduces operation time and production costs.

Securing the go ahead for a system upgrade can be difficult in a competitive work environment, where every cost must be accounted for and validated. Getting your project noticed and approved when it's lost among a sea of competing projects—each one making a claim on finite resources—can seem an impossible task.

When discussing fluid power, pressure is the basis for producing any kind of work.  Work cannot be achieved without pressure. To understand the finer points of fluid power, one must first understand the concept of pressure

A growing trend in industrial plant design is wireless connectivity. Recent technological advances have made wireless protocols significantly more robust and reliable than previous versions, enough so to rival traditional hard-wired connections.

Proper training in product, maintenance, and system startup was an essential part of a successful startup of the heat tracing system at the power plant.

Factory automation mobility is not just about iPads. Companies of all sizes need to think about the software needed to push context-sensitive information to operators and managers.

Intelligent Actuator Inc (IAI) is a world leader in the design and manufacture of off-the-shelf single and multi-axis servo positioning systems and SCARA robots.

IAI answers some of their most asked questions

Eight Reasons Why Off-Loop Filters Work

Populations Equipment packagers have an uncanny talent for squeezing major components into very small footprints, obviously to minimize floor-space requirements.

One resource that you may have overlooked is OSHA's collection of standard interpretation letters, which are OSHA's official responses to written questions about compliance with the agency's requirements.

Standard fluid line systems were for many years constructed from threaded pipe of assorted materials and were assembled with various standard pipe fitting shapes.
