February 6, 2006 10:29 am | Kerk Motion Products | Product Releases | CommentsThe VHD series helps in eliminating drag and wear associated with high pre-load forces. The anti-backlash assembly provides the maximum load-carrying capability and the highest axial and radial stiffness of any of the company’s nut assembly.
Proximity Switches
February 6, 2006 10:29 am | Contrinex, Inc. | Product Releases | CommentsThe Series 1180/1181 and Series 1300 - 1303 ready-to-connect ultrasonic proximity switches are available as diffuse and reflex sensors.
Inert Diaphragm Valves
February 6, 2006 10:29 am | South Bend Controls, Inc. | Product Releases | CommentsThe inert diaphragm valve is a solenoid-operated diaphragm isolation valve designed for use with corrosive or high-purity fluids commonly found in the medical equipment industry. The materials of all surfaces in the flow path are inert and impervious to a wide range of aggressive fluids.
Measuring Machine
February 6, 2006 10:29 am | Mitutoyo America Corporation | Product Releases | CommentsThe Surftest SV-3000 is engineered around a column-moving mechanism that virtually eliminates load capacity limitations. The machines large measuring envelope and long-stroke probe arm are designed to accommodate sizable, heavy workpieces.

Power Supplies (2629)
February 6, 2006 10:29 am | Condor D.C. Power Supplies Inc. | Product Releases | CommentsThe manufacturer of medical power supplies is converting all the models in its linear power supply line in order to bring the units into full compliance with the RoHS directive.
Air Filters (2625)
January 11, 2006 10:42 am | Product Releases | CommentsActivator series air filters have multi-stage media construction—layers of multi-denier polyester fibers capture particles throughout the filter's depth. This prevents wasteful "face-loading," increases dust holding capacity, and maximizes the service life of the filter.
EMI Shielding Air Filters
January 11, 2006 10:42 am | Universal Air Filter Co. | Product Releases | CommentsNeed to meet EMI shielding and medical imaging equipment safety and reliability standards for
Nanofiltration Elements
January 11, 2006 10:42 am | Koch Membrane Systems | Product Releases | CommentsSelRO nanofiltration elements provide excellent chemical and thermal stability. Most nanofiltration membranes previously available were limited to aqueous applications within a pH range of 2 to 11, insufficient for certain pharmaceutical applications with aggressive cleaning requirements.
Stainless Steel Screens
January 11, 2006 10:42 am | Product Releases | CommentsFine MicroEtch stainless steel screens are manufactured using photoetching technology. Photoetching enables designers to specify a straight hole or a tapered hole, which facilitates liquid filtration and back flow cleaning. Hole sizes range from 0.003 in. and up.
Hydrophobic Membranes
January 11, 2006 10:42 am | Millipore Corporation | Product Releases | CommentsSureVent hydrophobic and super-hydrophobic membranes are gamma stable and can be used for improved sanitization capabilities.
Emphasis on Product ID: Easing Counterfeiting Concerns With Covert Microtags
January 9, 2006 11:47 am | Adhesives Research, Inc. | Product Releases | CommentsProduct counterfeiting has a negative effect on many industries, but is potentially lethal to manufacturers of medical devices. This exclusive article showcases one technology that offers a solution to companies attempting to combat this growing problem by securing the identity of their products.
Leak-Free Connections Speed Endoscope Reprocessing and Enhance Safety
January 9, 2006 11:47 am | Medical Design Technology | Product Releases | CommentsThe Project: To ensure the safe transfer of chemical disinfectants within an endoscope reprocessing unit. The Solution: Use custom fabricated couplings that provide a leak-free fluid pathway.
