actuators. The AR series combines amplifier, driver and
controller into a compact single unit. The self-contained
electronic gear allows positioning data to be set without
considering the reduction gear ratio. Harmonic Drive
Technologies, Peabody, MA. Free info--Circle 746.

Positioning controller.
The VLT5000 series controller allows both horizontal and
vertical positioning with minimal programming and requires
no external programming software. A user-friendly control
panel is included. Danfoss Drives, Rockford,
IL. Free info--Circle 747. http://www.OneRS.net/104df-747
Helical speed
reducers. The 1000 series speed reducers offer double-
and triple-reduction ratios. Non-flanged and NEMA C-face input
styles are available. Output-shafts have between 3/4- and
1-5/8- in. diameters. Baldor Electric Company,
Fort Smith, AR. Free info--Circle 750. http://www.OneRS.net/104df-750
Programmable
master controller. AS-i master controllers sport a freely
programmable interface. They include a PLC with IEC 1131-3
base programming software. The integral display provides local
diagnosis of system operation, including faulty slaves, configuration
errors or AS-i power failure. Available functions include
commissioning, addressing and setting parameters. They come
with either 124 or 248 I/O. ifm efector inc, Exton,
PA. Free info--Circle 751. http://www.OneRS.net/104df-751
Captive linear
actuator. The customizable and durable Size 23 actuator
has thermoplastic threads in the rotor drive nut to ensure
long life. Resolution ranges from 0.0003125 to 0.001 in.,
with up to 200 lb thrust. Haydon Switch & Instrument
Inc, Waterbury, CT. Free info--Circle 749. http://www.OneRS.net/104df-749
Couplings.
The parallel-linkage, flexible disc design of Control-Flex
couplings provides parallel, angular and axial misalignment
capability with low bearing loads. Various hub designs and
bore sizes are available. Zero-Max Inc, Plymouth,
MN. Free info--Circle 753. http://www.OneRS.net/104df-753
AC brakes. Designed
to hold a load like a parking brake, Temporiti AC brakes are
"fail-safe" brakes, stopping a load completely when
power is shut off. The units mount easily to the back of a
3-phase AC motor and are wired directly to the AC input of
the motor. Nine standard sizes are included in the product
range, with torque ratings between 3 and 220 lb-ft. Voltages
include 208, 230, 460 and 575 VAC. Electroid Company,
Springfield, NJ. Free info--Circle 754. http://www.OneRS.net/104df-754
Cycloidal
speed reducers. Absorbing shock loads in excess of 500%,
these silent, vibrationless speed reducers are available in
a wide range and combination of sizes, ratios, input power,
mountings and configurations. Hyatt TSC Reducers Inc,
Vancouver, BC. Free info--Circle 752. http://www.OneRS.net/104df-752
Servomotor couplings.
Torsionally-stiff, flexible X-series couplings replace
bellows-type couplings on AC/DC servomotors. Sizes range between
15 and 50mm OD, 3-22.22mm ID, and torque ratings range from
0.30 to 10.0 Nm. Helical Products Company Inc,
Santa Maria, CA. Free info--Circle 586. http://www.OneRS.net/102df-586
Cylindrical bearings. The 5200/5300 ABMA series of
heavy-duty bearings feature polynomial
crowned rollers that provide excellent shaft-to-housing alignment;
extra-tough retaining rings; formed steel cage; and a swaged
pocket design that creates line contact for superior roller
control. Bore sizes available range from 25 to 140mm (0.9843-
to 5.5188-in.). An 8-color brochure, Bulletin # 3041, is offered
by the company. Rexnord Bearing Products, Indianapolis,
IN. Free info--Circle 481. http://www.OneRS.net/104df-481
