This report provides information on various techniques, including dynamic braking, used to mitigate this troublesome condition. Load is king. That's the fundamental rule to remember when selecting and applying variable frequency drives.
Small-diameter Cables
December 30, 2002 9:56 am | Leoni Tailor-Made Cable Usa | Product Releases | CommentsL-Flexx 690 cables boast long-life continuous flexing, optimum oil resistance, and reliable performance in harsh environments. The high-flex control cables can withstand a bending radius as small as five times their outside diameter.
Software Takes On Cataclysmic Computing
December 30, 2002 8:55 am | Articles | CommentsWhen a dying star collapses, a violent explosion releases protons, neutrons, and all the elements necessary to sustain our world. In essence, its death is responsible for our life.
Tapered For Performance
December 30, 2002 8:53 am | Rbc Bearings Incorporated | Product Releases | CommentsTyson tapered roller bearings feature a logarithmic raceway profile that provides for more uniform load-carrying capabilities. Even under a heavy, misaligned load, this design promises to more evenly distribute stresses than straight profile or circular crowning.
Automatic Insulation
December 30, 2002 8:48 am | Tyco Electronics | Product Releases | CommentsThe Ultra-Pod .110 Series Faston receptacle is a fully insulated unit for .110 tabs at 0.02 and 0.032 thicknesses. The receptacle employs F-crimp wire termination with automatic insulation. An all-in-one applicator eliminates the need for post insulation processing.
Level Measurement
December 30, 2002 8:48 am | Flowline | Product Releases | CommentsThe general purpose two-wire LU12-14 MiniMe ultrasonic transmitter provides non-contact level measurement up to 10 ft in a standard 1-in. mount. Optional 2-in. mount versions are available with a measurement span up to 25 or 40 ft. Accuracy is ۪.15 percent of span while resolution is 0.125 in.
