oremost Electronics, the engineering-led Essex based importer and specialist distributor of


electromechanical components announces the availability of the new Elma MR50 multi rotary switch. Rugged rotary switches have a wide number of industrial applications and are indispensable in the agricultural vehicle sector where they are subjected to very harsh conditions. The MR50 is an extremely small yet robust,


multifunctional rotary switch providing the highest functionality and performance in a minimal space for compact control panels and portable devices. Front panel sealing to IP60 and IP68 and offering exceptional vibration resistance the Elma MR50 series is an ideal rotary selector for building site machinery and vehicles and agricultural applications. the Elma MR50 is highly customizable and has been


used in applications as diverse as target aiming devices, night vision devices, interface solutions, two-way radios, cockpit applications (aircraft, automotive, construction machines, military vehicles), portable devices (communication, medical, rescue, sports, transportation, measuring, photo/video and test equipment. With a diameter of just ½” (12.7mm) the MR50


provides up to 16 switch positions, with switching torques of up to 6 Ncm, and operates in either shorting or non-shorting mode. With gold-plated contacts (3- micron gold), the switch performs over the operating temperature range of -45 °C to +85 °C. Alan Vincent, Sales Director of Foremost, comments,


“The market for compact robust electromechanical HMI products offering operators safe and simple operation and direct tactile feedback continues to grow in industrial and vehicle systems. While touch screens are


New MTE EFFICIENCY Pressure Transmitter Platform from First Sensor:


Efficiency Miracle for Precision Applications

emphasise the importance of thread locking


assemblies against vibrational self-loosening and has released a powerful new video and education guide to support this initiative. There are several different methods of addressing the


H


problem of self-loosening and most of them include the use of mechanical devices to lock threads and maintain the desired clamp load. Common solutions are a double nut that increases contact through more thread interface, a spring washer to increase bolt tension through its spring action or a nylon insert which creates interference between itself and the bolt threads. The limitation of all these methods is that none tackle


the gap that exists between the threads of the bolt and nut. To download a copy go to: https://bit.ly/38EMLOa
