ABB’s Dodge Quantis gear reducers and gearmotors now available
Q
uantis modular gear drive range to offer four and five stages of gear reduction for all three types of gear
arrangements: in-line helical (ILH), offset parallel (MSM) and right angle helical bevel (RHB). Quantis reducers and gearmotors can now be configured in ratios over 7500:1 with an output torque range up to 14,000 Nm, making the new output speed range 20 times greater than before. The higher ratio capabilities make the Quantis gear line an ideal solution for the most common applications found in water, wastewater, meat processing, grain handling and thermal processing. They are manufactured for long-lasting reliability with
wear-free gear designs that are finish-ground with an ellipsoid tooth form. Standard units feature class 30 gray iron gearcase housings, and all units are available with a two-piece, harsh-duty output sealing system.

125th anniversary for connector specialist Stäubli H
aving started life as a small workshop in Switzerland in 1892, the specialist mechatronics manufacturer Stäubli is celebrating its 125th
anniversary. Since its beginnings in the weaving trade, and a subsequent move into quick couplings, the company has grown into a multinational developer and manufacturer in the fields of connectors, robotics and textiles. Still owned by its original founding family, Stäubli produces products that
are particularly used in robotics and industrial automation, offering a wide range of electrical and fluid connectors, including state-of-the-art robotic tool changers. This year has seen a strengthening of the Stäubli brand, with a number of
companies within the group adopting the Stäubli name. This includes Multi- Contact, which in the UK is based in Milton Keynes and changed its name to Stäubli Electrical Connectors.

New DC centrifugal fans offers highest airflow in class - consume 13% less power and generate 3dB(A) less noise than competitive products
E
AO Ltd has introduced a new family of DC centrifugal fans that in typical high performance cooling applications consume 13% less power than competitive products currently available and offer significantly reduced acoustic noise levels.
Manufactured by Sanyo Denki the
new San Ace C175 9TGA DC centrifugal cooling fans measures just 175mm x 69mm. The 48VDC version delivers 1100Pa (max) static pressure with a maximum airflow of 1056m3/hour (622 CFM) whilst the 24VDC version produces 830Pa (max) static pressure and delivers a maximum airflow of 918m3/hour (541CFM). Both fans features a sound pressure level
(SPL) rating that is 3dB(A) lower than competitors’ products.
According to Robert Davies EAO UK Marketing Manager, Sanyo Denki has engineered the new San Ace C175 9TGA cooling
fans to operate efficiently and reliably in even the most demanding applications: "A rugged dual ball bearing
construction ensures reliable long term operation of 60,000 hours at 40 oC and 40,000 hours at 60 oC, Davies said. "And with an operating temperature range of -20 to +70oC these fans exceed the requirements of numerous modern applications including mobile telecoms cabinets, heat exchangers, large-scale energy storage systems and fuel cells."
The new San Ace C175 9TGA cooling fans are part of an extensive Sanyo Denki centrifugal fan range supplied and
supported by EAO Ltd. The company's product portfolio also includes DC centrifugal fans in100, 133, 150, 175, 221, 225 and 270mm diameters, available in both standard and IP55 rated versions.

www.eao.com/61 Ten-year field study
enhances materials handling performance and reliability
W
orking alongside market-leading logistics specialist Witron, Lenze has been monitoring the performance
and reliability of more than 5,000 electromechanical drives and 2,200 inverters installed at the EDEKA logistics centre in Hamm, Germany. The goal of this ten-year study, which culminated last
year, was to gather information on the reliability and service life of the drives and inverters, as well as any malfunctions and their consequences. The data gathered is expected to improve the overall performance of logistics systems, which has previously been subject to trial and error. The 90,000m2 EDEKA logistics centre houses 20,000
different products and despatches around 400,000 items per day to supermarkets throughout Germany. According to Hans Lowartz, who heads up Witron’s onsite team and who is responsible for the systems at this facility, equipment availability is currently running at an impressive 98.8%.
