New Innovative Metric Wave Springs
Smalley introduces a New Series of Metric Crest-to-Crest® wave
springs. Crest-to-Crest springs reduce the size of assemblies by up to
50% while maintaining the same amount of force and deflection as coil
springs. Wave springs minimize assembly cost and size due to the reduced
spring cavity required. Over 3000 standard wave springs are available
from stock in stainless or carbon steel, the new series is available
from 6-60 mm. Samples are available to test. www.smalley.com

***2 in. Diam, 400-w Brush Motor***
|
VENTURA, CA: The TGB2013 brush motor delivers extremely high shaft
output power from a very small package. The high power-to-size ratio and
long-lasting brush life of the motor provides a superior solution for
hand-held and battery-powered devices and machines. The small package
– 2.0” diameter by 3.87” long – weighs only 34 oz. It delivers
400 watts (0.5 HP) of continuous shaft power with a maximum efficiency
of 86%. At 18-volts the motor runs at 13,400 rpm producing 40 oz-in of
torque while drawing 26 amps. The linearity between torque and current
allows a very high peak torque of 240 oz-in. The low inductance
architecture of the motor permits faster current reversal at the
commutation point, which reduces brush arcing and drastically improves
brush life expectancy. ---ThinGap Motor Technologies

***Custom DC Gearmotors***
|
SANTA CLARA, CA: These 12 mm to 50 mm DC gearmotors are available
with cut steel gears for high strength applications, plastic gears for
low noise requirements, and very low cost, powered metal. Available in
ratios from 5:1 up to 3000:1. The inline and offset output shafts of the
gearmotors can be custom machined with cross holes, splines, keyways,
and flats, or end drilled and tapped. Output torque of the gearmotors
range from 41 oz-in. up to 500 oz-in. Typically peak torque of these
gearmotors is 3 times rated torque. OEMs can select from a broad
selection of 3.0 to 24 VDC motors with no-load speeds to 6000 rpm. For
high precision applications integral, incremental 2 channel encoders
with quadrature outputs and an optional index channel are available.
These gearmotors are a cost-effective replacement or upgrade of existing
machines and the best choice for new applications. ---Source Engineering

***Liquid-Cooled Three-Phase Synchronous
Motors***
|
ROSWELL, GA: Liquid-cooled three-phase synchronous motors feature
high power density with compact outer dimensions. This opens up new
perspectives for the design of machines and systems. This extra level of
freedom enables machine manufacturers to create efficient and economical
solutions. Integrated water cooling enables more compact sizes and
prevents the machine or the switching cabinet from overheating. Doing
away with energy consuming and noisy fans saves space, reduces emissions
and lowers costs. The life-span increases significantly because the
motor parts, except for bearings, are free of wear. Intelligent
connection technology for power and encoder connections using circular
connectors or terminal boxes simplifies installation considerably. 8KS
series motors are available in four sizes with a rated speed of 1,100
1/min to 2,200 1/min and a maximum speed of 4,500 to 10,000 1/min. The
rated torque is between 8.3 Nm and 605 Nm. The motors can be controlled
with ACOPOS or ACOPOSmulti servo drives. ---B&R Industrial Automation

2008 Manufacturing Expo & Conference -
Free Webinars

Presentation topic: "Push. Click. Done. - New
Universal Push to Connect Assembly"
Sponsor: Parker Hannifin - Tube Fittings
Division
Date: Wednesday, May 21,
2008
Time: 11:00am EDT
Parkers new Universal Push to Connect design takes the guess work
out of assembling fluid power connections. Current assembly of threaded
connectors is slow and relies on proper torques and assembly procedures.
Parker’s new design saves time and money by eliminating the wrenching
of hose ends to fittings and the costly rework of improperly assembled
connections.
Simply insert the male hose end into the Universal Push to Connect
fitting and assembly is complete. If a hose needs to be replaced or
maintenance performed, a standard wrench is all you need. Because the
design utilizes standard O-ring Face Seal (ORFS) fittings, an
off-the-shelf ORFS hose assembly can be used to replace any that are
damaged, therefore minimizing downtime.

Presentation topic: "Prepare your air to maximize
cylinder life.
An Instructive Tutorial for Use of Filters, Regulators &
Lubricators"
Sponsor: Bimba Manufacturing
Date: Wednesday, May 21,
2008
Time: 2:00pm EDT
The presentation will discuss the elementary parts of air
preparation. Sizing the right filters is essential to prevent
contaminants migrating to your equipment and causing failures.
Regulators help with the consistent operating pressure your pneumatic
system. Choosing a good lubricator will help reduce excessive component
wear and also prolong your equipment life. We will also review unique
accessories that can help improve your system performance.

Presentation topic: "Designing Belt Power
Transmission Systems for Energy Savings"
Sponsor: Gates Corporation
Date: Wednesday, May 21,
2008
Time: 3:00pm EDT
It’s a topic no one can afford to ignore. Companies are looking
for ways to save energy in power transmission operations. Put simply,
efficient systems save money.
Join Brent Oman, who has over 20 years of drive design experience with
Gates Corporation, for a free webinar on designing the most
energy-saving power transmission solutions. He’ll compare the
capabilities of V-belts and synchronous belts, so that you’re equipped
with the latest information on energy efficiency.
The one-hour webinar will help you answer these questions:
• What is efficiency?
• How do the various types of V-belts and synchronous belts differ?
• What are the energy efficiency advantages of each type of belt?
• What does energy cost?
• What are proven examples or case studies that show the benefits of
energy savings?
• How do I calculate savings and payback?
• What are the maintenance-saving advantages of synchronous belts?
• How can I design for energy savings?
You’ll walk away with practical pointers to start saving energy, and
money, in your drives.
The presentation concludes with an interactive, Q&A session, so bring
your questions.
