AutomationDirect has added LUTZE SILFLEX® FBP control cables, specifically designed to meet all UL and FDA requirements for cabling used in Food and Beverage facilities. The patent-pending food-safe design of these cables has been evaluated by third-party tester Ecolab for resistance to commonly used cleaning agents and reduction of contamination risk.
B&R’s ACOPOS P3 servo drive can be used in machines regardless of where they are deployed. Machine builders save the cost of building different variants of a machine for each country, because the ACOPOS P3 is compatible with all common power supply systems worldwide.
In the process industry, powerful sensors are needed to monitor the correct position of valves. Some outdoor applications, such as seawater desalination plants, oil rigs or phosphate mines, place special demands on the sensor technology used. With a particularly tight and corrosion-free housing, the F31K2 dual inductive sensor is the ideal solution for valve position feedback under such extreme conditions.
ÖLFLEX® HEAT 260 SC – PTFE single core, robust, chemical resistant and space-saving, for use in machine and plant construction at temperatures: -190°C to +260°C. Excellent chemical, thermal and electrical performance, Space and weight-saving, and UL AWM Style 11486 (28-12 AWG)*.
Promass Q 300/500, the high-tech Coriolis flowmeter series from Endress+Hauser for demanding fluids, now boasts revolutionary 4-tube technology, opening up numerous additional applications in the oil and gas industry in particular – for example, as a highly accurate duty meter for custody transfer and fiscal metering, or as a precision reference device (master meter) for on-site verification measurements. Furthermore, Promass Q now is available for three larger pipe sizes: DN 150 (6”), DN 200 (8”) and DN 250 (10″).
HPS has announced the availability of a complete line of low voltage and medium voltage distribution transformers compliant with the new NMX-J-351-1-ANCE-2021 regulation. The Secretariat of Economy in Mexico, released the new NMX-J-351-1-ANCE-2021 standard on February 11, 2022.
