These replacement switches are made for the power industry, and promise to be a perfect match to panel-mount instrument or control switches.
Type W switches have silver-plated and self-swiping maintained, momentary, slip or lateral contacts. It can be built with up to 10 decks, 10 poles, and 12 positions, and has a continuous rating of 20 amps at 600 V, with various interrupt ratings (5-50A at 120-600 Vac or 8A at 125 Vdc). The Type W-2 switch has a rotary roller design with up to six self-aligning rollers. The silver-plated contacts are enclosed in a glass polyester frame. It can be built with up to eight decks, 48 poles, and 12 positions, and has a continuous rating of 20 amps at 600V. It is available with various interrupt ratings (8-30 A at 120-600 Vac or 1-5 A at 125-250 Vdc). Both models have nonshorting (break-before-make) and shorting (make-before-break) contacting available. Prices start at $90 each. Electroswitchhttp://rbi.ims.ca/4928-591
This year, when Indy teams search for a competitive edge on the track, they're going to have to dig deeper into the mechanical aspects of the car than ever before in the history of the race.
A new process for laser-welding large-scale, steel-aluminum foam sandwich structures for lightweighting ships, which eliminates intermetallic phase, has been demonstrated.
The Department of Defense is designing a device that can virtually cure sepsis, an often fatal blood infection to which soldiers injured on the battlefield are prone.
A major advance in repairing composite structures combining robots and lasers bodes well for commercial aircraft such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A350XWB, which contain composites in large proportions of their structures.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
