AutomationDirect has added economical PSV series power supplies and universal battery control modules to the RHINO DC power supplies lineup. RHINO PSV "Value" series DIN rail power supplies are available in a wide selection of voltage and wattage ranges. 5V RHINO DC supplies are available in 15 and 25-watt ratings with 12V supplies at 48W. 24V DC supplies are available in 30, 50, 100, 120, 240 and 480W; and 48V supplies are rated up to 120W.
15 to 100W models, in ultra-compact plastic housings, have an efficiency rating of up to 89.0%, a full power operating temperature range from -10°C to +55°C and are NEC Class 2 / Limited Power Source (LPS) certified.
120 to 480W RHINO power supplies have a metal housing, provide full power from -10°C to +50°C and efficiencies up to 88.0%. These models have a built-in constant current circuit for reactive loads.
Starting at $32.00, RHINO PSV series DC power supplies are UL/cUL recognized, CE approved and have a three-year warranty.
Also added are universal battery control modules (starting at $30.00) that provide uninterruptible 24VDC bus voltage and offer battery protection for over voltage, deep discharge, short circuit and reverse connection. Alarm outputs indicate input, output and battery conditions.

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.
