Kollmorgen has released a new stepper drive, providing smooth motion control at both full and micro-stepping positions at up to 25,600 steps per revolution. The P80630-SDN stepper drive controls 2-phase hybrid stepper motors and features a high power density, offering up to 7.8A peak in a package just 26mm wide.
When diesel cars and vans from 2009 onwards ended up on the ramps of repair garages across the UK, technicians had a new emissions control device to contend with: the diesel particulate filter (DPF).
Governments around the world are cracking down on nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, not only for transport, but gas turbines as well, with operators having to invest in equipment to meet ever stricter standards. To ensure a 500 MW combined cycle powerplant at Tongzhou in China could meet new legislation, Sulzer engineered a customized combustion automatic tuning adjustment system (CATS).
Compared to iron core motors, miniature coreless DC motors provide advantages including higher efficiency and power-to-weight ratio. This makes them well-suited to applications that demand compact size and low weight; combined with precision control, they are ideal for applications such as medical devices and robotics.

WDS Components, the UK manufacturer and supplier of standard parts and components, has extended its range of clevis brackets and fork kits for use with actuators.
When older equipment starts to affect the output from the power plant – operators need to act fast, to avoid production risks escalating. This is especially true for legacy pumps. However, sourcing new units to fit the surrounding infrastructure and application requirements of the plant can be challenging.
A leading producer of suspension polyvinyl chloride (S-PVC) in Germany experienced a compressor cylinder breakdown. Burckhardt Compression, a company specializing in compression solutions, was selected to carry out the repairs due to the specific requirements of the project, including a tight time frame, and high safety standards associated with the process.

Portescap has provided a global defence manufacturer with a brushed DC motor and gear solution to control the accuracy of surface vessel-launched torpedo tubes. Portescap was awarded the contract based on its precise control, compact and low heat motor design, as well as the ability to meet stringent military specifications. Portescap’s engineers worked closely with the defence manufacturer to optimise the customised motion solution.
