Solutions from Ruland: Beam couplings for robotics applications
Ruland beam couplings are ideal for surgical, warehouse, and industrial robotics due to their increased torque and torsional stiffness and ability to accommodate all forms of misalignment. Ruland manufactures four-beam couplings for encoders and six-beam couplings for light-duty power transmission, such as connecting a stepper or servo motor to a lead screw. This allows robotic designers to design a standard beam coupling into most systems. Ruland machines beam couplings from a single piece of aluminium or stainless steel for a
zero-backlash design and maintenance-free service life. Multiple sets of spiral cuts enable the couplings to handle all forms of misalignment – angular, parallel, axial motion, and complex – through frequent starts and stops. The multiple-beam design also allows for higher torque and torsional stiffness. Ruland manufactures beam couplings in 7075 aluminium for low inertia and 303 stainless steel for increased torque capacity. The beam couplings are offered with a clamp or set screw hub attachment with inch, metric, and inch-to-metric combinations ranging from 3 mm to 20 mm.

JUMO DELOS S02: Reliable Pressure Transmitter for a Wide Range of Industries
The JUMO DELOS S02 is a small, reliable “powerhouse” − it is easy to configure and offers high process reliability as well as accuracy. In addition: The pressure transmitter is also available as an Ethernet- capable version and can be used in many industries. The pressure transmitter is used to acquire relative and absolute
pressures in liquid and gaseous media. It offers a high degree of process reliability through maximum accuracy and long-term stability. Measuring ranges are from 0.1 to 60 bar relative or 0.4 to 60 bar absolute. The successor for the current JUMO DELOS SI can be configured via Bluetooth/app or IO-Link.
Thanks to the Ethernet-capable (Single Pair Ethernet/SPE) version and the cloud connection, it is used in a wide range of industries (food and beverage, water and wastewater, heating and air conditioning, mechanical and plant engineering, test equipment construction, and laboratories). “The JUMO DELOS S02 is absolutely user-friendly. This saves time and costs for the customer.
The wide range of versions and interfaces enables a tailor-made selection for the respective area of application,” says JUMO product manager Jonas Naumann.

Low capacity torque sensors open up new worlds of plant and machinery control
New low capacity models of Sensor Technology’s TorqSense SGR 510/520 non-contact torque sensors offer accurate measurement down to 200mNm (0.2Nm), for applications such as precision and high speed robots, medical devices, protheses and implants, small drives and micro motors. Based on a full four-element strain gauge bridge design, the SGR sensors accurately measure and record sudden spikes in torque load. They measure the torque 4000 time per second and uses high performance signal conditioning to provide a corruption-free, high bandwidth torque monitoring solution. They feature 250% overrange and 400% overload capabilities, and real time temperature compensation. The non-contact signal transmission means the sensor exerts no load on the shaft it is monitoring Three analog output channels on the SGR 511 output real-time speed and power alongside the
torque monitoring. As well as analog outputs, TorqSense SGR 520/521 is also fitted with digital outputs including RS232, CANbus and USB.

Whisper Vane Pump XD4 DC powered for extreme duty
XD 4 pump delivers 15 l/min at up to 4 bars pressure with the 12/24 vdc
motor.Self priming and quiet running for application in a range of transfer systems of non corrosive fluids such as oils and coolants. Pump produces flow not pressure,every rotation delivers a metered volume out the other side.Whatever system is connected to the pump has flow resistance which is then the source of backpressure as the pump works to maintain flow .Designed for continuous duty applications with harsh and poor lubricity fluids. Maximum temperatures to 200 C ,viscosity to 25,000 cst, weight 4 kgs,self priming to 1.5 meters, wetted parts anodized aluminum
