Bellows couplings. Manufactured with a tapered conical clamping element, the BK3 series bellows coupling has the highest shaft clamping forces, without keys, compared with other designs. Shaft diameters range from 10 to 80mm. R+W North America, Bensenville, IL. Free info—Circle 566. 

Realtime sensor. For measuring interfacial stresses in realtime, the ASET is a thin profile, magnetic resistive ink sensor element that reveals the surface area of contact and the displacement of contact area levels. Hybrid of a position and displacement sensor, the operating principle is the ability to treat the entire sensing element as a linear potentiometer. It does not require calibration, and it can withstand repeated contact and impact. Sensor Products Inc, E Hanover, NJ. Free info—Circle 570. 

Load cell. A solid-state, hermetically-sealed design with 300% overload rating, the M7200 universal load cell series provides intrinsically safe weight measurements up to 10,000 lbs per cell. Available as a complete scale kit or individual sensors, the stainless steel load cell is suited for pharmaceutical, fine chemical and food, as well as bulk solid weighing applications in paper, metal and mining. Muse Measurements Corp, San Dimas, CA. Free info—Circle 571. 

Electrolytic capacitor. The AAEC series advanced aluminum electrolytic capacitor offers chip, radial and prismatic types to fit different applications. All feature low ESR. Voltage ranges are from 6.3 to about 50V. Ness Capacitor Co Ltd, Suwon Kyonggi-do, Korea. Free info—Circle 561.

I/O adapter. The COMM+850 PCI provides a single PCI bus RS-232 serial port for control and automation applications. It has a high speed oscillator to support standard PC data rates up to 460K bps. Various Windows drivers are included. Sealevel Systems Inc, Liberty, SC. Free info—Circle 560. 

Miniature linear ball slide assembly. The C-.5 linear ball slide assembly measures 0.52-in. long, 0.25-in. high and 0.38-in. wide. It offers 0.33-in. travel while providing 0.75-lb load capacity, with accuracy of 0.005-in./in. Del-Tron Precision Inc, Birmingham, MI. Free info—Circle 580. 

Pressure sensor. The subminiature Model S submersible transducer features a 0.25-in. dia. flush diaphragm. Common applications include industrial process control, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and land-based, offshore and subsea oil drilling operations. Sensotec Inc, Columbus, OH. Free info—Circle 563.
