PLCs have been doing a lot of this work for decades. However, there are some newer functionalities in our PLCs that make this marketing concept easier to implement. Learn more about “3 Methods for Sharing Data from an IIoT PLC” to understand these functionalities.
Kyntronics SMART Hydraulic Actuators combine the best features of hydraulic power with the precision of servo control (used in ball screw & roller screw electro-mechanical actuators), without the inherent disadvantages of those approaches.
Industrial settings with strenuous applications, such as thermal cycling and vibration, are recognized as some of the toughest environments for tube fittings. In all cases, such applications demand highly precise, leak-free technology to ensure protection from vibration and thermal cycling.
Total Cost of Ownership means looking beyond the material cost of the product and understanding the larger, surrounding value chain. Learn how Watlow’s PM controllers minimize downtime and total cost of ownership.
Parker Industrial Gas Filtration and Generation Division recently announced that the launch of their new cycling refrigerant dryer series, PoleStar Smart-E (PSE) Series, will be coming in April 2021.
Studies show that approximately half of lost machine life is due to mechanical wear and approximately 80% of mechanical wear is caused by particle contamination in the oil. When oil is kept clean, wear rates go down and component service life goes up.
TTK addressable sensing cables are fitted with patented micro-controllers that allow pinpointing of faults on multiple sensing cables simultaneously. The unique structure of these cables efficiently prevents false alarms from condensation, dust, and conductive elements.
Des-Case rolls out a new and improved, patent-pending breather construction. More desiccant and increased airflow without increasing the external dimensions of the breather.
In hydroelectric power generation, dirt and debris in the intake water can shorten the lifetime of turbine blades. Filters inside intake pipes trap the debris so that only sediment-free water hits the blades. A differential pressure sensor/transducer measures the flow. Learn more.
Flow measurement, along with measuring temperature and pressure, are critical for optimal operation in gas and steam turbines. If these parameters do not stay within appropriate ranges, a power plant will suffer from issues with safety, performance, and efficiency. Learn more.
