Animatics Corp.'s SM2315 SmartMotor is a controller, amplifier, and encoder built into a brushless dc servomotor. A single micro-controller simultaneously handles all processing functions of the SmartMotor, including the PID loop, trajectory generator, user program execution, I/O control, and communications over as many as three high-speed serial channels. A machine wound stator and molded, high-energy magnet add cost savings, as does a completely die-cast aluminum housing assembly.
Berkeley Pumps' line of B6XT centrifugal pumps feature precise case geo-metry, improved hydraulic efficiency, a broad per-formance range, and re-duced bearing loads. These pumps are suited for high-volume irrigation appli-cations. An extra-wide performance range extends to 13,250 L/min (3500 gal/min). The pump's design uses double-row, angular contact, and deep grooved radial ball bearings that deliver 20,000 h of life. A rigidly supported thrust bearing extends dependability with minimal maintenance.
High-performance Delavan spray nozzles for dust suppression applications from BFGoodrich Co. are available in a variety of hollow or solid cone spray pattern designs. Typical applications include milled grain, mineral or organic powder, and pneumatic conveyor air handling; kiln exhaust conditioning; crusher outlet showers; and gravel road dust suppression. Spray patterns can be engineered to provide spray angles ranging from 30 to 120°, fine- or large-droplet atomization, and flow rates from 68 to 284 L/min (18 to 75 gal/min). Special clog-resistant designs are available for dirty or corrosive/erosive fluids and gas streams.
Bimba Mfg. Co.'s Giant Magneto Resistive (GMR) Autoconfigure Switch has a patented auto-detect feature that automatically configures switch circuitry to function as a sinking or sourcing switch. The magnetoresistive, solid-state switch is applicable to EF1/EF2 cylinders, Twin Bore and PneuMoment actuators, Ultran Slide and High Load Ultran Rodless cylinders, and 8 and 11 mm (5/16 and 7/16 in) bore Original Line cylinders. The switches are available in two pigtail lead lengths or in the Quick Connect option with two cable lengths.
