Instead of being stationary
with the output hub, the MDB series brakes have been redesigned
to permit the friction discs to rotate with the rotor. Along
with a new spring release mechanism, this design change allows
the friction and pressure plates to release approximately
twice as fast as previous models. Torque capacity is 2300
ft-lb, with complimentary clutches available to handle torque
up to 8,850 ft-lb. Ogura Industrial Corp, Somerset,

Gear Boxes With Keyed-Shafting
Designed around 45-degree
helical cut gears, the Add-a-Shaft series of gear boxes operate
at lower temperatures, making them more efficient than comparable
"floating" types. They provide easy installation
by sliding user-supplied keyed shafts through the gear boxes.
Each added shaft is supported by sealed ball bearings, making
them suitable for high speed operation. Standard sizes are
available. WC Branham Inc, River Falls, WI.

Rotary Encoders
Designed for use in corrosive and/or explosive atmospheres,
the Series X25 encoders provide speed feedback, cut-to-length
measurement and positioning data. The incremental optical
encoders have an environmentally-sealed cast aluminum housing.
Electrical outputs are compatible with almost all drives and
PLCs. Differential line drive outputs are available for long
cable runs (hundreds of feet) and higher noise immunity. Danaher

Soft Motion Control
Providing a soft PLC
and data server in a single software application, WinMotion
does not require motion control cards or proprietary hardware
to provide continuous maintenance, production and quality
information in real-time. Running Windows NT with RTX from
a single processor on a standard PC, it includes an open,
published API which allows users to rapidly integrate third-party
technologies. Manufacturing Data Systems Inc,
Ann Arbor, MI. Free info--

Low Profile Encoders
Combining brushless motor commutation pulses and incremental
position feedback in a 0.35-in. profile, the RCML15 single
optical encoder is designed for applications where space is
critical. A built-in servo groove allows ±20 degrees
of rotation to align the commutation tracks with the motor
poles. Resolutions up to 2048 lines are available, providing
commutation for 4-, 6- or 8-pole brushless motors. Renco
Encoders Inc, Goleta, GA. Free info--Circle 790.
