SHAFT GROUNDING BRUSH
Prevents electrical damage
The AEGIS SGR™ shaft grounding brush prevents electrical damage to ac motor bearings, as well as extending motor life by safely channeling harmful shaft currents to ground. Conductive microfibers inside the product enable shaft currents to discharge to the motor frame. It is reportedly maintenance-free and isn't affected by grease, dirt, or other contaminants. The product is installed by sliding the ring over the end of the motor shaft and locking it in place with screw-on mounting brackets. Electro Static Technologyhttp://rbi.ims.ca/4398-579
DRIVER SOFTWARE
Reduces costs
The 32-bit LinkMotion™ machine driver software is designed to make programming motion control boards as easy as sending a file to a printer. It reportedly speeds up the design-to-manufacturing process and reduces costs by eliminating the need for a proprietary applications development process and controller hardware. It is ideal for a variety of 2 1/2 D machining operations, including laser marking and cutting, scribing, drilling, engraving, electro discharge machining, torch cutting, waterjet cutting, and CNC machines.

SPEED CONTROLLER
Good value
The DEC 70/10 speed controller is specially 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 ideally 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/4398-581
INDEXING SYSTEM
Simple programming
The company's non-servo rotary indexing system consists of a pneumatic drive unit with multi-station turrents as well as grippers in a range of configurations and sizes. Indexing is in 10-degree increments with on/off control to solenoid operated valves. The product is designed with simple programming with A-B-C input for clockwise motion and A-C-B input for opposite direction, according to the company. Mack Corp.http://rbi.ims.ca/4398-582
PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR
Rugged
The PCD and PCS pneumatic valve actuators feature a four-piston rack and pinion design for high torque output. The rugged design enables the product to be smaller than other design types, making it ideal for applications with tight space requirements. The PCD model is double acting and requires air pressure for both the open and close cycles of operation; the PCS is an air to spring or fail safe design that uses a mechanical spring to operate one of the actuation cycles while air pressure is used to operate the other.

FAHRTWIND SIMULATOR
Uniform laminar airflow
The company's fahrtwind simulator features built-in tangential fan that meets the requirements faced when testing vehicles on test stands. It ensures a uniform laminar airflow with exact reproducibility. Space reduction is achieved through air intake from the top of a 90-degree airflow deflection inside the unit. The units are provided with a fully adjustable speed control and are designed for a simulation range of up to 100 mph. LTGhttp://rbi.ims.ca/4398-584
MOTORIZED FORCE TESTER
Smooth top surface
A 50-lb capacity horizontal motorized test stand, the ESMH is designed for tension, compression, and friction testing. The product's smooth top surface makes it ideal for coefficient of friction testing. It features integral limit switches for repetitive testing or other tests where travel limits are required. A digital travel display is available. Ideal applications include the testing of sealed pouches, fabrics, tubing, and sutures, among others. Mark-10http://rbi.ims.ca/4398-585
STEPPER MOTOR
Durable
Providing linear motion in a rotary-size package, the LINEARSTEP® linear-type stepper motor is offered with outside dimensions of 25 and 35 mm. The product's linear shaft movement enables users to design a simple system at a fraction of the cost of conventional rotary stepper motors.
