When working with industrial pumping, such as crop irrigation or wastewater management, simple and reliable flow control is paramount in ensuring efficient operations. Control Techniques, part of Nidec Motor Corporation, has introduced new wall-mounted panel models of its packaged pump solutions for use in pumping applications. These easy to install, pre-configured solutions save engineering costs, resources, and time with the ability to control single and multiple pump applications without a costly PLC (programmable logic controller).

Littelfuse, Inc. has announced the new C&K Switches NanoT product line, a series of miniature, surface-mounted, very low profile, waterproof tactile switches. Smart wearables, health monitoring devices, and other battery powered IoT devices are driving the need for a higher density of active components integration, seamless rounded screens, and additional functions in increasingly smaller spaces. The result is a demand for the switch interface to be smaller and smaller. The new NanoT switch series is the smallest tactile solution on the market.
VFD cables are a critical component to extend a motor’s life cycle within a VFD system. Three areas where VFD cables set themselves apart from traditional tray-rated power cables are: Address high and low frequency noise issues with proper shielding, Ability to withstand voltage spikes/reflected wave voltage, and High temperature resistance. You can further enhance your electric motor's lifespan by using EMC glands to protect your equipment from electromagnetic interference. Read on to find out more.

Put to the Ultimate Test – Part 1: Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL
Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.
For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
