Curtiss-Wright introduces new CANbus rotary position sensor


New FS02 BraggMETER high-speed optical tunable filter for demanding applications


tuneable FS02 BraggMETER filter, which is suitable for both static and dynamic optical filtering applications. Featuring an integrated proprietary cavity design without guiding optics, the FS02 is a compact, robust and vibration-resistant device with an encapsulated filter to ensure excellent stability. Featuring low voltage excitation and wide and fine tuning with top resolution and noise to signal ratio, the new FS02 is suitable for most optical filtering applications in test and measurement, telecom and fibre optic sensing. Best suited for integration of high-end products and

ow available from HBM – a market leader in the field of test and measurement – is the new high speed optical


suitable for use on specialty on- and off-highway vehicles utilizing CANbus communications. Developed by Curtiss-Wright’s legacy brand of Penny & Giles, the NRH27C extends the company’s recently-


C


introduced NRH271 and NRH272 family and shares many similar features and benefits. These include a low-profile sensor body, small footprint, CANbus J1939 communications and a fully encapsulated, IP69K-rated design that offers exceptional performance against water, dust, shock, vibration and temperature. This makes the range ideal for use by OEMs of on- and off-highway vehicles that are destined for use in challenging environments, and as a cost- effective solution for medium volume applications where a degree of customization may be required. Within the CAN messaging structure of the vehicle, the NRH27C’s two independent Hall-effect sensing signals


allow for error checking of the positional data, which addresses the needs of safety-critical applications. Curtiss-Wright

UK’s Scientific Measurements completes acquisition of Ireland’s Eurolec Instrumentation Ltd G


lobal instrumentation leaders Scientific Measurements Pte Ltd has acquired Ireland-based Eurolec Instrumentation Ltd for an undisclosed sum. Scientific Measurements – parent company to Cirrus Research and


Acoustic Instruments International – has more than 40 years’ experience in the sector and counts product ranges Optimus, Revo, doseBadge, Trojan and Invictus among its industry-leading brands. Eurolec as a brand and trading name will continue within the Scientific Measurement fold, with the existing head office remaining in Dundalk, County Louth. Its chain of distributors will also be unaffected.


Coinciding with the handover, Eurolec founder and Managing Director Tom Mears will be retiring after a five-decade

AxFlow adds vacuum pumps and blowers to its portfolio A


xFlow has announced that it has become a distributor of Gardner Denver’s Elmo Rietschle brand of vacuum pumps and blowers in the UK. This product line


represents an important new development for the company, particularly as it already has a significant presence in those industry sectors where vacuum pumps and blowers are extensively used. AxFlow customers can take advantage of 24-hour replacement pumps and spare parts, together with ready access to factory trained repair personnel. Announcing the move, AxFlow Managing Director Tony


Peters commented that introducing vacuum pumps and blowers to its portfolio was a logical development as they are already used by many of its customers. “Our AxFlow sister companies in Denmark and Finland enjoy considerable success selling units and offering service/repair of Gardner Denver - Elmo Rietschle vacuum pumps and blowers,” reports Tony Peters
