The Three Speed Dryer Blower is now available from Cleaners Supermarket

A development platform for automotive and industrial motor-control applications built around a 32bit microcontroller is designed to simplify development of three-phase motor-control systems.

The ArtDrive-S XVy-Evolution series high performance DSP based servodrives for precision motion control applications have been launched by Gefran.

Avago’s integrated ACPL-332J and -331J intelligent gate drivers improve precision motor inverters by featuring Active Miller Clamp, integrated Vce desaturation detection, under voltage lockout protection, built-in IGBT shut down, and isolated open collector fault feedback. Active Miller clamping eliminates the need for a negative gate drive, saving negative power supply and PCB space.

The microprocessor based control unit can be integrated with a machine's controller to allow for automatic, unattended operation and monitoring. Automatic control of spindle On/Off, rotating direction, speed, spindle selection and system reset is possible. Automatic monitoring of, spindle rotation, speed, direction of rotation, load, warning signals, error signal, motor current, and command speed achieved is available.

In Dosmatic’s water driven motor technology, the chemicals are not mixed through the motor. Dosmatic uses a patented mixing chamber, which blends the chemical with the water flow external to the motor, therefore minimising chemical attack on motor components and removing the risk of chemical residues building up on, and potentially fouling valving and ports...

The sale of the Electric Motors & Actuators activity is in line with Valeo's strategy to focus its offer on solutions in the Domains of Driving Assistance, Powertrain Efficiency and Comfort Enhancement.

The Magellan MC55110 monitors position and alerts users to unsafe condition. This single-axis motion control IC actively monitors the targeted and actual position of the step motor and detects any number of motion errors that can result in a stall condition, such as motor obstruction or system failure.

Excellent line-fed travel motors for one or two speeds, conical-rotor brake motors for highest demands for starting and stopping applications, as well as cylindrical-rotor motors for standard applications are available for outputs ranging from 0.18 to 45 kW as D-type helical geared motors for 90 to 5800 Nm, as W-type angular geared motors for 120 to 12,000 Nm and as A-type offset geared motors from 130 to 11,500 Nm...
