A fully integrated, loop-powered displacement transmitter
The DT-12x Series of transmitters (photo) are loop-powered displacement transmitters that monitor displacement and vibration for a wide range of industrial machines. Devices in the DT-12x Series are fully integrated transmitters, which means the driver (oscillator) and signal-conditioning electronics (vibration…
Rugged scales handle logistical tasks
The AGB and AGF range of bench and floor scales (photo, p. 32) feature an integrated indicator with a durable stainless-steel housing, offering protection against dust and water. Along with an audible alarm, the color-changing display shifts during checkweighing mode…
Direct, in-situ assessment of critical catalyst properties
The new in situ catalyst-characterization system (ICCS; photo) delivers high-performance test capabilities for the reliable and industrially representative investigation of catalyst behavior. By integrating with the PID Microactivity Effi catalyst-screening system, the ICCS allows researchers to efficiently quantify the impact…
New filtration media adds strength and cleanability
Introduced at Filtech (Cologne, Germany; October 22–24), Sinterflo FMC (photo) is a new metal-fiber mesh composite for filter elements. The FMC structure features integrated Bekaert Bekipor technology and is composed of random fiber webs and woven mesh structures that are…
Focus on Valves
Safe combustible-dust-explosion isolation Isolation is essential to protect adjoining system components against the spread of combustible dust explosions. Tanks, silos, dust collectors and other equipment are usually connected by pipelines through which, if an explosion occurs, fire and pressure spread…
Data connectors for Ethernet and Profinet
The new, two-piece M8 circular connectors for data transmission (photo) are well suited for compact devices, such as SCADA operator interfaces or camera systems. The four-position socket contacts feature D-coding and enable data transmission at up to 100 Mbps (CAT5…
Turbo blowers added to this company’s product portfolio
