ORD DRIVESYSTEMS introduces two new gearboxes for nominal torques of 15 and 20 kNm. With these latest
additions to the line-up, the series now comprises 11 gearbox sizes that deliver output torques up to 250 kNm. The NORD industrial gear series offers a particularly great variety of configuration options for application-specific drive solutions. The modular NORD product range includes dual-gear setups, auxiliary drives, brakes, torque arms, backstops, swing bases, and – as the latest special feature – extruder flanges. In addition, there are a variety of sealing options and solutions for monitoring and temperature management. The gear units can be mounted on all six sides. Gear ratios can be configured in fine increments from 5.54 : 1 to over 30,000 : 1 – with two, three, or four gear stages, and with an auxiliary primary gear stage if so required.

injury. For added safety, this ergonomically-designed horizontal tester pulls samples away from the user. A single button press runs a test, and just 4 multi- function buttons provide for all settings, operation and output to an RS232 statistical printer. Peak force at break is displayed along with clear pass and fail indication.
Four speed settings are available: 25, 50, 100 and 200 mm/min. to comply with all regular test standards. Units of force can be displayed in N, kgf or lbf. This competitively-priced bench tester is designed for continuous use within
the production environment, and is IP52 rated against ingress from dust, wire fragments and water.

Mounted any way you need it: compact flow sensor with rotatable display from EGE
or flow measurement of water and water-based media in large pipes, sensor specialists EGE launch the new SNS 552 flow sensor that features an I/O-Link interface and a digital display. The compact device facilitates fast readout of flow volumes by showing liter or cubic meter measurements on a display that can

be rotated for better visibility. In addition, the responsive sensor is highly resistant to temperature variations and provides integrated temperature measurements in a range from 0 to +80 °C. The device can be parameterized with buttons or via I/O-Link. Two outputs for flow and temperature can be optionally configured as analog or switching outputs. On request, the SNS 552 is available with a teach-in input for rapid adjustment when used with various mediums.

New drive electronics for enhanced flexibility and efficiency A
t the SPS IPC Drives Italia exhibition, German manufacturer NORD DRIVESYSTEMS is showcasing user-friendly innovations in the
segment of distributed drive technology. The new NORDAC LINK series of field distribution systems affords operators and installers of conveyor systems considerable savings through standardization, plug & play, efficient operation, a high level of service, and ease of maintenance. All sensor, communications, and supply lines can be easily connected via coded plugs that only fit the appropriate slot.
The manufacturer supplies these new frequency inverters and motor
starters configured to customer requirements. They are available with optional safety features, application-specific parameterization, and sensor interfaces as required in addition to support for all standard bus systems. Maintenance switches, key switches, and direction switches provide for very flexible direct user access to every single axis.

enclosure then the overall shielding effectiveness of the enclosure can be compromised. For many commercial applications perforated sheet, metal or metallised plastic will suffice but for high performance requirements waveguides provide superior shielding over a wide frequency range. Waveguides can be circular, rectangular or honeycomb shaped. The principle is that of “Waveguide beyond cut off”. The honeycomb vent is series of tubes that acts as a waveguide, guiding electromagnetic waves into or out of the enclosure, but as the tubes are long enough then it attenuates those waves. Typically the tube should be at least 3 times as long as the diameter. Good practice is 4 times. Therefore a 3.18mm cell should be 12.7mm long. The most cost effective is aluminium honeycomb because it offers high shielding performance, light weight and good airflow as it is 96% open area.
