Electric grippers are becoming more popular for applications that require high speeds and for those requiring light or moderate grip forces. Electric is also cleaner than either pneumatic or hydraulic and, therefore, electric grippers are very effective for handling products such as circuit boards or other dust sensitive products
Allied Group's new type of coalescing filter is constructed of three layers. The inner and outer layer act as a built-in pre-filter, according to flow. This is also the drain layer and support layers. The middle layer, "binder free" borosilicate fiber/microglass, is the coalescing portion of the filter. The pre-filter removes large quantities of dirt particles before entering the coalescing part, thereby increasing the life of the filter. Efficiencies range from 93% to 99.9999% at the 0.3 micron range and rated to over 5000 psi.The pre-filter can be constructed with microns from 1 to 75. We will custom design for new applications or cross reference competitive filters for existing applications.
Racine, WI, USA: Dynasonics, a division of Racine Federated Inc., announces the launch of the new DXN portable ultrasonic flow and heat meter. "The DXN represents a new generation in portable ultrasonic flow measurement," said John Erskine, VP of Sales & Marketing, "built on innovative hybrid metering technology that automatically switches between transit time and Doppler modes, as needed. The DXN also includes unique one-of-a-kind features like a 7" full color touch-screen, the ability to store site-specific settings using plain text, and an advanced software interface that adapts to the needs of our customers."
Heyco Products, Inc., a leading ISO 9001:2008 US-based designer and manufacturer of wire protection products and power components, has announced availability of their new Heyco® -Tite Hybrid Liquid Tight Cordgrips with PG or Metric Hubs.
The Engineering Fundamentals: An Introduction to Engineering [Paperback] has been reduced from $145.95 to $137.26 over at Amazon.com. 'The book begins by introducing students to the exciting world of engineering as they discover what engineers do as well as the various areas of specialization. After explaining good study habits and what it takes to succeed, Moaveni then prepares them for success with an introduction to design and problem solving, communication, and ethics. Once this foundation is established, the book moves on to the basic physical concepts and laws students will encounter regularly as engineering students. The text emphasizes that engineers apply physical and chemical laws and principles as well as mathematics to design, test, and supervise the production of millions of parts, products, and services that people use everyday. By gaining problem solving skills and an understanding of fundamental principles, students are on their way to becoming analytical, detail-oriented, and creative engineers.'

Eden Prairie, Minnesota: Now there's a better In-House method for bulk blackening aluminum fasteners and hardware. LUMICLAD is the new, zero-discharge process that forms a protective, non-dimensional black oxide finish on all aluminum surfaces. LUMICLAD is clean, durable and tightly adherent to the metal substrate. It is ideal for all types of fasteners - perfect for flat buttons, t-nuts, fluid connections, eye bolts, hex nuts, handles, - all varieties of aluminum fasteners and hardware including metric and standard sizes.
HARRISBURG, Pa. - TE Connectivity introduces a sleek, one-piece compressive board-to-board connector that enables connecting to a gold-plated secondary board by compression of the contacts. This connector, adopted by major mobile device manufacturers, is scalable in a number of positions, height and pitch, to enhance design flexibility.
CamdenBoss has launched two new series of wire-to-board connectors that provide solid and reliable connections at low cost.
The new Minipower and Micropower connectors are priced to offer significant savings and direct compatibility compared with existing leading brands on the market and are manufactured using the highest quality materials. Both ranges offer single and double row connectors up to 24-poles with fully insulated housings. Polarised to avoid inverted connection, Minipower and Micropower receptacle housings feature a friction lock for positive mating and male headers have locking ears for panel mounting applications.
