New Controls & Controllers Products

I/O Module interfaces between logic circuitry and load.

Model G3TC features built-in hold down screw, which fastens relay to board to eliminate loosening by vibration. AC input module's operating voltage is 90-140 Vdc/ac and 180-280 Vdc/ac, while DC input module's range is 10-32 Vdc/ac. Logic level output supply voltage is 5-24 Vdc on both input modules. AC output module's applicable load is 3 A @ 75-280 Vac depending on model. Input voltage is 5-24...

Linear Positioning Stage suits precision applications.

Luge LM, available in direct-drive, flanged-mount, and linear-motor models, are totally enclosed in aluminum-alloy package. Stages withstand packaging and automotive requirements and suit precise semiconductor, electronic assembly, and indexing applications.

Potentiometers provide position feedback.

Potentiometers offer 100,000,000 revolutions/strokes minimum life, providing alternative to encoders, LVDT's RVDT's, and resolvers. Flush circuit element produces long life. Units are available in standard or custom designs, with open or closed packaging. Applications include actuators, robotic joints, motor feedbacks, valve positioning, engine controls, and joysticks/video controls.

Manual Micro Positioning Stages have accuracy within 2 -µm.

Manual positioners employ positive spring-loaded carriage that provides smooth motion with no backlash. Offered with 80 thread/in. lead screw drives and covered rails, they can combine to create 2- or 3-axis positioners. Size A stages travel 0.125 in. with max runout of 1 Ã-µm, return force of 113-312 g, and direct top or side load capacity of 0.25 kg. Size B stages travel 0.500 in. with max...

Controllers work with heat pumps and air conditioners.

Head Pressure Controllers sense refrigerant temperatures and modulate condenser fan speed to balance high to low side circuit vapor pressure. On start up, fan is given initial hard start at full speed for 10 seconds and then slows to speed to give required condensing temperature. As ambient temperatures fall further, fan gradually slows to about 1/3 full speed to maintain bearing lubrication and...

Optical Profiler offers Dynamic MEMS measurement option.

WykoÃ-® NT1100 characterizes micro-devices in 3D as they actuate for assessment of true device functionality and measurement of in- and out-of-plane dimensions. System offers dynamic and static measurement of rough surfaces on one platform. Non-contact, white light interferometry provides Angstrom-resolution measurement of features from 0.1-2 mm in height. System includes custom illumination...

Motor Controller drives robotic vehicles.

Microprocessor-based, dual-channel DC Model AX2500 directly drives up to 120 A on each channel at up to 40 V. Channels can be operated independently or combined. Controller accepts commands from R/C radio or serial port interface. Intelligent current sensing and controlling automatically limit each channel's power output to 120 A for time typically required to accelerate or stop robot. Extruded...

Controllers are designed for artificial lifts.

ALC 600 Series controllers are offered with power electronics, variable-speed drive technology, and direct torque control, eliminating need for external PLC or hardwired control logic. Pole-mounted units have 5-100 hp capacity. Pad-mounted units include single-inverter construction and same capacity range. Dual-inverter models range from 20-120 hp. Applications include rod pumps, progressive...

Liquid Level Control suits low level cutoff protection.

Single probe LLC8 series uses AC current sensing to prevent thermal runaway and excessively high internal pressure in hot water tanks by detecting presence of conductive liquids. With open board design and UL353 recognition, it offers factory fixed time delay of 1-60 sec and is available for input voltages of 24, 120, or 230 Vac, 50/60 Hz. Sense resistance is factory fixed from 5K-250K ohms. SPDT...

Servo System simplifies transition to servo drive.

PosiDrive pre-programmed servo system eliminates programming code for conversion to servodrive. UL and CE approved, plug-and-play unit combines 460 V servomotor and digital amplifier/controller with touch screen interface, which handles machine set-up, tuning, and troubleshooting. Available in fractional to 20 hp packages, brushless RA servomotor includes neodymium iron boron magnets, resolver...
