Far from being a matter of semantics, there is a big difference between flexible and flexing cables. In this whitepaper, we discuss the differences between a flexible cable and one that is designed...
Think of heat-shrink tubing as the duct tape for electrical wiring on the factory floor. It can be used for preventive maintenance to avoid problems, and it is a wonderful tool for making minor repairs to cables...
Many of the problems that surround cable failure, especially in extreme and harsh operating environments, could have been avoided by selecting the correct cable from the outset. In today's world of...
Variable frequency drives have an Achilles Heel. Even though the VFD itself is protected against damaging electrical conditions, the drive's power cables can fail when subjected to heat...
Distance-based photoelectric sensors are an advanced class of sensors that not only determine the presence of an object, but also its position. Three methods have emerged as front-runners of distance-based photoelectric sensing; background suppression...
Discover how the Machine Automation Controller evolved to handle high-speed, high axis count applications that require exacting synchronization as it integrates multiple technologies—motion, vision, logic and I/O—all without sacrificing performance.
Avago’s new ACE Q100 grade optocouplers, the ACPL-K4xT/K7xT series has signifi cantly lower LED driving current compared to conventional optocouplers, thus lowering system...
Metal bellows are utilized in applications where quality, dependability and long life are critical requirements. In this whitepaper, Servometer® evaluates the use of an electrodeposited metal bellows as...
