If the shafts in pumps, compressors or gearboxes are not aligned with each other, the result is higher energy consumption and increased machine wear, which can lead to unplanned downtime.
The new pneumatic fastening clamps in nickel-plated steel are characterised by high clamping force, reduced dimensions, low compressed air consumption, low weight and corrosion resistance. They are ideal for clamping all mechanical components.
PSD direct drives are used in packaging machines, filling lines and woodworking machines worldwide. All the relevant subsystems for automatic format changeovers are already integrated into these intelligent drives, which are already available with the CANopen, IO-Link, PROFINET and EtherCAT control interfaces.
Future-oriented key technologies in microelectronics and microsystems technology (MST) will be presented at the MST Congress in Ludwigsburg from November 8 to 10, 2021. The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS will participate at the joint booth of the Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (FMD). In numerous lectures and poster sessions, the institute will present current results and developments from the fields of intelligent MEMS-based sensor and actuator technology for applications in medical technology, chemical analytics and Industry 4.0.
The Rolls-Royce business unit Power Systems has developed a sliding bearing for its mtu engines that reduces their fuel consumption by 1%. That achievement has won it the Environmental Technology Prize awarded by the Ministry for the Environment in the state of Baden-Württemberg.
Programmable, flexible safety is a key component of intelligent machine design. With S-DIAS Safety from SIGMATEK, the user has a slim economic solution that meets the highest safety standards (SIL 3, PL e).
Supply agreement sets a new standard among mtu-powered tugboats in Latin America. Rolls-Royce will supply eight mtu 16V 4000 M65L engines for the new hybrid-propulsion tugs.
BorgWarner has secured a contract with a major OEM to supply high voltage inverters for battery electric vehicle (BEV) platforms including a variety of passenger cars and trucks. The business award marks the company’s largest major silicon carbide based (SiC) inverter win and the first silicon carbide based inverter win in North America.
