EV LED Luminaire
SYRACUSE, NY: Cooper Crouse-Hinds is leading the way in LED lighting
technology for industrial and hazardous locations, most recently with
the introduction of its EV LED luminaire. The EV LED is the industry's
first bright white, Class I, Division 1 factory-sealed LED luminaire for
general illumination. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are solid-state
semi-conductor devices that convert nearly all the electrical energy
directly into visible light. Expected operating life on an LED typically
ranges from 50,000 hours to more than 100,000 hours. This is a
significant upgrade over traditional light sources, whether
incandescent, fluorescent, or HID lamps. --- Cooper

Simplifies Machine Monitoring and Provides
Early Warning of Potential Failures
SAN DIEGO, CA: The SKF Machine Condition Advisor (MCA) is a rugged,
easy-to-use, hand-held device that measures vibration signals and
temperature simultaneously to indicate machine health or bearing damage,
and provides early warning of machine problems before a costly breakdown
occurs. Essential plant equipment such as pumps, fans, motors,
compressors, gear boxes, cranes and conveyors used in manufacturing
processes rely on bearings to keep machines running and production
moving. By using SKF Machine Condition Advisor to measure bearing
activity for changes in vibration and temperature, operations or
maintenance staff can detect a pending machine failure before it results
in lost production and unplanned downtime. The SKF Machine Condition
Advisor simultaneously measures vibration signals from 10 to 1000 Hz and
temperature from -20° to 200° C (-4° to 392° F) and
displays the values in Metric or English on a bright backlit LCD. ---
