PROBLEM SOLVER SPOTLIGHT
Save up to 50% by replacing expensive ball bearings
DryLin R linear bearings are dimensionally interchangeable with expensive ball bearings. DryLin R is formulated for long life and consistently low friction—without additional maintenance or lubrication. Several configurations are available, from pillow block assemblies to flexible, space-saving, replaceable liners. With its unlimited accelerations, DryLin can increase machine speeds. It is vibration-dampening and ideal for high static loads, short stoke applications and shock loads without causing shaft damage. It outperforms Teflon-lined or ball bearings in harsh environments due to integrated dirt channels. DryLin may also be used on inexpensive shaft materials. Learn more about DryLin R linear bearings now. --- igus® Inc.

Digital Prototyping Online Tool
Aberdeen Group announces the availability of a new online digital prototyping assessment tool. Digital Prototyping software enables a realistic 3D simulation to optimize and validate a product before it is built, reducing the number of physical prototypes. The tool, which utilizes Aberdeen's primary research in product innovation, helps companies identify their biggest product development challenges, compares their design practices to industry benchmarks, and quantifies potential time and cost savings by adopting Best-in-Class capabilities. The simple assessment, based on Aberdeen's unique PACE™ research methodology, steps through the product development process to determine where an individual company excels and helps identify opportunities for improvement. By completing a 10-minute online survey, users receive a personalized summary of how they compare to other organizations as well as custom tailored next steps to improve their development process. --- Aberdeen Group

HOT NEW PRODUCTS - Editor's Choice
Low Profile Belt Conveyors
BATAVIA, OH: Automation Series conveyors offer high speeds with a single-piece extruded aluminum frame and feature tool-less belt changes, unique rotatable drives, and rotate-to-replace drive bearings. The pivot rotatable drive technology on AS40 end drive conveyors allows the drive to be quickly rotated in the field to almost any position to meet changing application requirements and avoid conflicts with other machinery. AS65 center drive conveyors feature a below-belt drive that can be positioned at any point along the length of the conveyor, allowing a better fit with integrated machinery. Push-button tension release mechanism alleviates tension on the belt for a fast, tool-less belt change and easy under-belt cleaning. Single-piece aluminum frame includes tee slots for rapid stand and accessory mounting. Conveyors 18 in. wide and wider feature a strengthened multi-piece aluminum and steel frame. A crowned pulley ensures proper belt tracking. The conveyors are designed to handle speeds up to 400 fpm. --- QC Industries

Modbus Ethernet-to-Serial Gateways
OTTAWA, IL: ESR series gateways are a cost effective way to connect serial Modbus ASCII/RTU devices with Modbus/TCP Ethernet as well as solve many other real-world Modbus problems such as converting ASCII to RTU, remapping conflicting Modbus ID's or connecting two Modbus devices hardwired with different baud rates. With zero-tolerance for unexpected downtime on today's factory floor, these Modbus gateways, designed and built by B&B Electronics, offer peace-of-mind for plant operation managers around the world. Vlinx™ Modbus Gateways boast an extensive line-up of Ethernet port configurations - from standard RJ-45 copper to almost any fiber optic option. Versions are available with an additional Ethernet port that functions much like an Ethernet switch, allowing pass-through connectivity for other Ethernet devices. The port can also be used to "daisy chain" multiple gateways. Serial ports can be accessed over a LAN/WAN using Direct IP Mode connections. Serial data rates up to 230 kbps ensure maximum network flexibility. --- B&B Electronics

INDUSTRY TRENDS
Future Planes, Cars May Be Made of 'Buckypaper'
One promising concept that carbon nanotubes could make a reality is "buckypaper," which is 10 times lighter than steel but potentially 500 times stronger when sheets are stacked and pressed into a composite. In addition, the buckypaper can conduct electricity like copper or silicon, while dispersing heat the way steel and brass can, which conventional composite materials cannot. According to Rice University scientist Wade Adams, "All those things are what a lot of people in nanotechnology have been working toward as sort of Holy Grails." Right now, carbon nanotubes have been used with epoxy resins for strengthening things like bicycles and tennis rackets, but whereas these resins are 1 to 5 percent carbon nanotubes, buckypaper is about 50 percent. While the tubes are so perfectly smooth that they are hard to hold together with epoxy, researchers are already looking for ways to create some surface defects to improve epoxy bonding. So far, researchers have only been able to make buckypaper expensively and at a fraction of its potential strength, but Florida State University researchers are working on manufacturing techniques that they believe could make it more competitive.
