ABZ Valve products from John Brooks Company are available in a wide variety of sizes and functions. The resilient seated and high-performance butterfly valves vary from 2 to 48 in. with a range of 150 to 600 psi.
L.J. Star has introduced a design concept to visual flow indicator assemblies. Designed for hygienic/sterile applications in pharmaceutical, food/beverage, brewery and biotech industries, the clamp type sterile visual flow indicator, or CT-SVFI, uses a patent-pending design to prevent the O-ring seal gaskets compression issues that lead to contamination associated with conventional screwed or threaded fittings.
WAGO Canada has added two Generation 2 PFC200 PLC controllers along with two Generation 4 Ethernet based couplers to its XTR line of products. The new devices are designed to work in the harshest environments and provide solid performance in extreme conditions.
The new IronHorse HBR series of helical bevel gearboxes from AutomationDirect combine a helical gearset with a bevel gearset to create an output that is perpendicular to the input. The gearboxes have a hollow shaft output and accept double or single shafts.
The Endress+Hauser Proline Prosonic Flow G 300/500 flowmeters with optional integrated pressure and temperature sensors are said to provide highly accurate, real-time values in even the most demanding environments.
The DPDM Multimount compact cylinder is said to Festo’s smallest, lightest and most economical choice yet in its class. The product is suitable for many applications compact cylinders perform, such as stopping or stabilizing small work pieces or work platforms in light manufacturing.
ITT Industrial Process has introduced Goulds model API 3600 iFrame heavy-duty multistage pump designed for high head/high capacity services. Capacities of the pumps range up to 8,500 gpm with heads to 9,000 ft.
Intertec Instrumentation has introduced the Hot Box for outdoor process sampling applications. Designed to accommodate temperatures up to 150°C in compact footprints, the hot boxes employ a combination of conduction and convection heating assisted by a novel air circulation system.
GGB PyroSlide 1100 bearings are said provide temperature resistance up to 800°C, corrosion and wear resistance with low-friction properties to help lower operational costs and increase system performance.
Carlo Gavazzi has launched three-phase monitoring relays, part of its DPB and DPC lines, that feature an upgraded switch mode power supply, which provides a wider input voltage range to cover different mains voltages, while reducing heat dissipation and improving reliability and stability.
