Rotary Blast Cabinet
Expanded
The RSSA-8 is an expanded rotary blast cabinet for automatic processing of large components that require consistent surface preparation. It is available in specially adapted versions for abrasive blasting, shot peening, nondestructive blast cleaning, cosmetic surface finishing, and media-blast coating removal. The product contains enough cubic space for up to eight suction-blast guns or four pressure-blast nozzles. Guyson Corp.http://rbi.ims.ca/4400-615
Stepping Actuator
Miniature
The company's size 17 DSM 2344H-C6231 miniature stepping actuator is made of a hybrid step motor and an internal lead screw cut directly into the shaft. It features an M5 x 2.0 lead pitch configuration that develops a linear force of 13.5 lbs. The motor's front bearing is preloaded to ensure zero backlash performance under light loading conditions, according to the company. The product's step size is 0.4 micro-inches, and the step motor size is 1.65 inches square by 1.34 inches long. Gee Plus Inc.http://rbi.ims.ca/4400-616
Stepping Actuators
Size 17
Model DSM4234-LN-04150, a size 17 linear step actuator, is designed to combine a two-phase hybrid step motor with a lead screw to create a precision linear motion. The maximum load capacity is 33.8 lbs/force, and the position step size is 0.00138 inch. The product's front bearing is supported by a threaded nut to adjust for minimum backlash. It uses a lead screw nut that enables a threaded shaft of extended length to be used. Gee Plus Inc. http://rbi.ims.ca/4400-617
Actuator
Strong, lightweight
The DM-01 is an innovative module SMA actuator that provides a large stroke in a small package with a high degree of design flexibility. It is engineered as a strong, lightweight, silent, fast-acting product with low power requirements. The product can reportedly replace motors and solenoids in a range of applications, including latch-release mechanisms, door and cabinet locking/unlocking, and air duct/vane positioning.

Dampers
Provide motion control
The company's line of compression and extension dampers are engineered to assist users with their motion control needs. They are primarily used where a heavy load or door must be lowered or swung in a controlled motion at a constant speed. They supplement their gas springs to provide a complete selection of lifting, lowering, and dampening options. The products are made in rod/tube diameter sizes from 0.24 x 0.59 inch to 0.315 x 0.87 inch, with stroke lengths from 2 to 7 inches. H.A. Guden Co. Inc.http://rbi.ims.ca/4400-619
Bearings
Slef-clinching
The company's line of self-clinching and self-aligning bearings now include a line of high-temperature plain bearings that will be available to users looking for improved performance and savings in applications where constant or intermittent high temperatures are required. Ideal applications include commercial ovens and institutional kitchens. The products have a maximum range of 540QF (282QC). They are available in sizes of 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, and 1/2 inch.

Speed Controller
Good value
The DEC 70/10 speed controller is developed for the upper performance range where it can control electronically commutated dc motors of up to 700W. The four-quadrant product needs no additional encoder; it operates with the motor's own Hall sensor signals, making it suited for speed and positioning applications. The three operating modes—speed control, voltage control with IxR compensation, and current control—can be pre-selected per DIP switch. Maxon Motorhttp://rbi.ims.ca/4400-622
Brake Pack
Instantaneous stop
The SB50 brake pack provides four key control functions for ac induction, reversible, watertight, and electromagnetic brake motors in a single package. Forward/reverse motion, instantaneous stop, electromagnetic brake control, and thermal protector open detection with alarm signal are integrated into the 2.77×1.97×2.76 inch product. It comes with a single-phase voltage range from 100 to 230V ac, 50/60 Hz. Oriental Motor USA Corp.http://rbi.ims.ca/4400-623
