Bowman develops new bearing test machine
B
owman International’s expert team of engineers has developed a bespoke bearing test machine, providing an in-house facility that can determine bearing capabilities and provide fault analysis for plain bearings. The development of the advanced test machine means Bowman,
which specialises in the
manufacture and supply of bearings and sintered components including the Oilite® and BowMet® ranges, can test bearings on behalf of customers under their exact application conditions, with real time test data, remote computer operation and bearing failure onset shutdown function. Using the new facility, Bowman can test products with dry and lubricating running and accommodate a wide range of shaft diameters. Constant data acquisition of both the test bearing temperature and torque measurement are also invaluable features. The machine has been designed to run automatically and can sense the onset of bearing failure, which triggers an automatic stop procedure. This enables the failure mode to be analysed.

SICK (UK) LTD
anasonic Automotive & Industrial Systems is proud to announce that it is sponsoring the TUfast Racing Team from Technical University Munich (TU Munich) for the Formula SAE / Formula Student racing competition. The team uses Panasonic’s Pyrolytic Highly Oriented Graphite Sheet (PGS), the thinnest thermal solution in the world, as well as the Grid-EYE infrared array thermal sensor. “Panasonic is excited to support the TUfast Racing Team not only with some of our most innovative automotive products but especially with our know-how and experience within this field” said Matthias Frey, Section Head Communication.
“It is fascinating to get an up-close view of how these young talents evolve their concept, implement it and design at the end their racing cars. We wish the E-Technology team and their eb016 every success and the best of luck!”

All-Purpose Proximity Sensing from SICK in One Second Flat
R
eliable proximity sensing is simple with the single-click installation of the new SICK IQG sensor. With its one-second mount and 40 x 40mm cubic construction, the IQG is an all-purpose and cost-effective inductive sensor. The push-lock sensor head can be rotated in five different directions to ensure the best signal, and its four corner LEDs mean the sensor status can be viewed easily from all directions. The IQG offers long sensing distances, IP68 /IP69K enclosure rating, resistance to vibration and extensive temperature range from -25°C to 85°C. “The IQG makes proximity sensing as easy can be,” states David
Hannaby, SICK UK’s Product Manager for Presence Detection. “The push lock mounting means the IQG can be installed in seconds, the head can be positioned five ways to get the optimum signal and there’s a LED at each corner for a quick visual assessment at any angle; what more do you need?”

elden Inc., a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, has announced the newest industrial Ethernet switch from Hirschmann – the GREYHOUND 1040. This full Gigabit Ethernet switch delivers on the high-bandwidth and data speed needs of industrial networks and offers a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) fiber port option – a first for the industry. “We know our customers are facing increased bandwidth and power requirements. The GREYHOUND 1040 switch enables you to react quickly and modify networks in real time as your needs change,” said Juergen Schmid, senior product manager at Belden. “Typically, high-speed and high-power capabilities require costly hardware. Our industry-first 2.5 GE fiber port option fills a unique niche in the market, when 1 Gigabit isn’t enough, but 10 Gigabits is too costly. We expect this mid-range, cost-effective option will soon be an IEEE standard.”

The GREYHOUND 1040 switch supports up to 28 Gigabit ports and can operate as a backbone switch. For networks with strict uptime requirements, the GREYHOUND 1040 enables system updates, modifications and expansions without taking the network offline through: • Redundant power supplies that can be easily changed out in the field.
• Interchangeable media modules that enable the addition of new ports or changing existing port types.
“More applications and devices than ever before require power. Whether you’re upgrading your physical security system or taking advantage of the Industrial Internet of Things phenomenon, you need powerful solutions like the GREYHOUND 1040 switch for high-speed communications,” adds Schmid. Industries, such as power transmission and distribution, transportation and physical security, will benefit from the GREYHOUND 1040 switch’s technical
features, and its adherence to specific industry standards, certifications and approvals. As an early innovator in industrial Ethernet, Belden knows industrial IT and delivers the next generation of industrial networking solutions, including wired, wireless and embedded products. With its global brands – Hirschmann, GarrettCom and Tofino Security – Belden helps companies minimize downtime and take advantage of the real-time data access and control made possible by the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Through a seamless, secure and scalable industrial Ethernet infrastructure, companies are equipped to revolutionize their operations and achieve improved
efficiency, productivity and agility. Visit
