It integrates with workholding devices such as vises, providing a fast, accurate, and repeatable method for making setup changes on all types of horizontal and vertical machining centers.
Gas Metering Valve (2891)
March 9, 2006 12:10 pm | South Bend Controls, Inc. | Product Releases | CommentsThe gas metering valve is a direct-acting proportional Servoid valve. The Servoid valve driver provides linear proportional control of the metering orifice which yields linear proportional flow.
PWM Amplifier
March 9, 2006 12:10 pm | Cirrus Logic Inc. | Product Releases | CommentsA 5 A, 60 V monolithic pulse width modulation (PWM) amplifier IC has been developed. The SA56 delivers increased power to drive a wider range of DC and stepper motors of up to 1/3 HP, while the use of PWM technology provides efficient power delivery to minimize thermal issues.
Machined Springs
March 9, 2006 12:10 pm | Helical Products Co. | Product Releases | CommentsThese compression/extension “machined” springs incorporate multiple features into a single component. The opportunity to incorporate attachments that best benefit the application is one of the major benefits of a machined spring, (i.e., the ends of a compression spring can be flat and square).
Heat Sinks
March 9, 2006 12:10 pm | Advanced Thermal Solutions | Product Releases | CommentsMaxiFlow heat sinks are designed for cooling BGAs and other hot components in the restricted air flow conditions typical of today’s condensed electronic packages. The heat sinks feature a low profile, spread fin array that maximizes surface area for more effective convection (air) cooling.
Oscillator
