Focus on Motors & Drives

Safely ground shaft currents to protect bearings Electro Static Technology The Split-Ring Aegis bearing-protection ring with conductive epoxy mounting (photo) can protect a.c. motor bearings from electrical damage by safely grounding shaft currents induced by variable frequency drives. The protection…

Determining Packing Height With Accuracy

Equilibrium stage simulations are the nearly universal process design tool for mass transfer columns that contact vapor and liquid in countercurrent flow. Whether the service is absorption, stripping, distillation, fractionation, quench or evaporation, equilibrium stage models make mass and heat…

A new way to determine particle size distributions of emulsions

The new LUMiReader PSA instrument allows, for the first time, the determination of the volume-based particle-size distribution for emulsions and suspensions, without knowing the refractive index and without the assumption of spherical and homogeneous particle shape. This opens new horizons…

A new control head for process valves

The 8681 control head was developed for decentral automation of hygienic seat valves, butterfly valves and ball valves. It supplements the company’s Element Series of control heads, digital positioners and process controllers for diaphragm, angle seat and globe valves. The…

This rotary feeder valve is designed for abrasive materials

Designed specifically for rugged applications and processing of harsh and abrasive materials, the CI Series of rotary feeder valves provides bulk-material processing operations with continuous performance, reduced maintenance and optimal energy efficiency. The valve housings are cast to ensure strength,…

These emergency lights have battery options

The HLEL Series of emergency lighting fixtures offers a fiberglass-reinforced polyester housing that is suitable for use in indoor hazardous environments, such as oil and gas production, industrial manufacturing, wastewater treatment plants or other interior spaces where hazardous gases and…

Connect three condensers from one tap with this manifold

The new three-way Water Manifold enables researchers to connect three water-cooled condensers to a single water supply. With the main body constructed of anodized aluminum, the manifold is designed to be clamped to fume hood scaffolding in either vertical or…

This flowmeters readout and control unit has new features

The redesigned Bright multifunctional local readout-and-control (R/C) unit now features a 1.8-in. color TFT screen with wide-angle visibility. Some cost options are now included as standard, such as the mounting accessories for tube, panel or wall mounting. Used with the…

Wireless connection of Modbus nodes

The new DX80DR Multi-Hop Data Radio from partner Banner Engineering extends the reach of this company’s SureCross wireless systems by repeating transmissions in 3-km “hops”. Multiple units can be placed to allow signals to pass over hills and other obstacles…

Plastic flowmeters for water applications

The TM Series flowmeter is a plastic digital flowmeter with a 1/2-in. digital display, which shows rate plus two totals; one total is resettable and the other locked and cumulative. These water flowmeters are easy to calibrate and the battery-powered…
