Slip Ring Capsule

Providing a pre-engineered slip ring capsule in a compact design, the Endura-Trac H-Series transfers electrical signals from rotating to stationary components. The self-contained unit, based on a proprietary contact system using highly conductive precious metals, can accommodate continuous, bi-directional rotational speeds up to 100 rpm Power circuits are rated at 2A/240 VAC, and signal circuits are designed for signal requirements up to video frequencies.

Two-Axis Pneumatic Positioner

The uni-block design of the Dual Slide Pick & Place allows greater speeds due to lower inertia. Standard cable carriers prevents the sagging and pinching of wires and air hoses while protecting sensors, and the cylinders are incorporated as part of the housing,, lending to a compact size. It is offered with 5/8-, 1- or 1 1/2-in. bore, with a maximum horizontal stroke of 18 in. and a vertical stroke up to 9 in.

Extreme Torque Brakes

While only 1/3 the size of standard power-off spring-set brakes, the XT Series offer triple the holding torque. Originally developed for aerospace applications, the XT's friction material has a coefficient of friction approaching 1.0, and has been tested in rigorous shock and vibration conditions as well as in the vacuum and cold of outer space. The brakes are now available for commercial, industrial, medical and automation applications. Electroid Co, Springfield, NJ. http://www.electroid.com

Multi-Interfacing Encoders

The magnetic AHG926 Hollow Shaft Absolute Encoders offer SSI, DeviceNet, Profibus and Interbus compatible interfaces. The 26 bit multi-turn units are 93mm in diameter with up to a 16mm bore, and they are available with an IP65 protection class while offering programmable resolution and presets and offsets. The encoders are highly resistant to shock and vibration, due to magnetic construction. Stegmann Inc, Dayton, OH. http://www.stegmann.com
