Pulsed-Inductive Sensor for Low-Cost Linear Position Feedback
Florence, KY – BIW Pulsed-Inductive sensors from Balluff only look like traditional resistive linear potentiometers. However, unlike linear potentiometers, BIW sensors use patented, non-contact technology to provide continuous, absolute, analog position feedback. Because there is no mechanical contact, wear is not an issue. BIW sensors are available at a price level equal to or lower […]
Gates Energy Efficient Power Transmission Drive Solutions
With energy costs on the rise, you’ve got to keep your power transmission systems performing at optimum efficiency. On average, synchronous belt drives operate at a consistent 98-99% efficiency, which is 5% more efficiently than V-belt drives. That means that converting from a V-belt drive to a synchronous drive can increase your production by 5% […]
