 | Alumina: Gets the job done where metals can't survive
Alumina provides high temperature strength and stability when applications demand performance where metals can't survive. Parts don't wear, and they resist most chemicals. Alumina is readily available in standard forms and can be ground with desired features to the tightest of tolerances. It is the most common technical ceramic.

 | Drive systems for robotics and automation
An industrial world without robotics or automation is inconceivable today. Process safety, reliability, and economic efficiency are on the forefront when it comes to the application of such systems in modern production lines. The industrial-grade drive components from FAULHABER are extremely capable, with their high endurance and performance in a robust and compact design, for exact and highly dynamic positioning tasks (SMT assembly machines, handling devices and electrical grippers, and conveyor systems) or sensitive and low-noise operations (artificial robotic hands and the like).

| | Videos+: Technologies and inspiration in action | What can you do with touchless magnetic angle sensors?
Novotechnik has put together a really informative video highlighting real-world applications for their RFC, RFE, and RSA Series touchless magnetic angle sensors. You may be surprised at the variety of off-highway, marine, material handling, and industrial uses. You'll learn how they work (using a Hall effect microprocessor to detect position) and their key advantages, including eliminated wear and tear on these non-mechanical components. We love when manufacturers provide such useful examples.
