ST-DRY™ fiber optic connecting devices are designed to protect fiber terminations from wet environments which can degrade optical fiber. The connectors are fabricated from corrosion and chemical resistant materials. Ferrules and alignment sleeves are made of precision-machined zirconia, while the connector and coupling adapter bodies are made of either nickel-plated brass or 300 series stainless steel.
Fluid sampling nipples and kits are designed to detect contamination in hydraulic systems by providing a permanently mounted test point which is said to eliminate the need to shut down or break lines when taking samples, reducing downtime, unscheduled maintenance, and repair costs. The kits provide lab reports on particle count, water content, viscosity, and spectrochemical analysis of over 20 wear metals and additives.
Control-Matched™ variable-speed motors are said to provide complete compatibility and maximum performance when used with the company's variable-speed drives. The motors are said to provide reduced electrical and acoustic noise, improved dynamic response, lower operating temperature, wider torque and speed ranges, and extended service life.

Light Matters: Systems Level Approach to HBLED illumination applications
Its good practice to apply a systems-level approach to high-brightness LED (HBLED) illumination applications. Minimally, the system includes the optical, thermal and electrical characteristics of the of the HBLED, the lens (if any) which is built-in to its package, secondary optics such as external plastic lenses/reflectors to direct the light as your application requires and power driver electronics.
