Certified functional safety products introduced
Launched in April, this company’s Certified Safety Products (photo) provide machine builders with a verified and reliable solution to increase the safety of processes and machines. The rail brakes, servomotor brakes and rod locks (photo) are said to be the first in North America to earn the Intertek Functional Safety (FS) Mark. They are certified to comply with ISO 13849-1, Categories B through 4 and Performance Levels PLa through PLe. With spring-engaged, air-released functionality, these products are default to lock, making them ideal for emergency stopping and holding applications. The rail brakes, servomotor brakes and rod locks can be mounted to servo motors, linear devices, pneumatic cylinders, round rails, linear rods, round shafts and linear guide systems. — Nexen Group, Inc., Vadnais Heights, Minn.
