Patlite LR6 Series Signal Tower Lights are the next generation signal tower series featuring ultra-bright LEDs, a modular design, and a wide-selection of options to take on the most challenging applications.

Parker Velcon CDF-X™ elements are currently going through robustness testing at two major airports in the U.S. This is part of the testing program to determine if the elements will be safe for into-plane field evaluation. Learn more.

There is no "one size fits all" drive train linear actuator technology for every application. In reality, the selection of different types of linear motion systems depends entirely on what is most critical to a specific application.

Oriental Motor's AlphaStep closed-loop control systems perform accurate positioning operations with ease. The AlphaStep features a unique control system combining the benefits of "open loop control" and "closed loop control".

With the 2020 deadline for elimination of all SAP-based filter monitors quickly approaching, the CDF-X™ provides the only non-SAP drop-in replacement for the EI1588 filter monitors for the aviation fuel filtration industry.

Parker Velcon dedicated significant resources to developing a new technology branded CDFX™ (Clean Dry Fuel eXtreme). The goal for this project, from its inception, was to provide a product that is reliable in defending against both water and dirt contaminants at into-plane refueling.

Parker Velcon's VF-31E is a versatile filter housing designed for use with several different high performance Aquacon filter cartridges. Cartridges are offered for the optimum filtration of aviation fuel, gasoline, diesel fuel, oils, compressed air, and other gasses.

Valin donated aluminum framing and connectors to the students at San Jose State University so they could build a pod to house their magnetic levitation system for the Hyperloop Pod Competition.

The new F3SG-4RR global light curtains are a line extension that also includes productivity improvements with easy to mount brackets, Smartclick cables, and more indicators to expedite installation and reduce maintenance downtime.

End users are demanding more information from their power supplies to maximize uptime and the S8VK-X delivers with real time service life information that can be monitored from a central location.

The high-speed IXA SCARA Robot holds the fastest cycle times and yet achieves a lower price than previous SCARA models. The arch motion smoothly blends both horizontal and vertical motion to accomplish continuous high-speed cycle times.

Parker's 17R Series Diaphragm Valve provides excellent leak integrity and is ideal for use in UHP bulk delivery and specialty gas systems. Available in configurations with flow capacities up to 0.80 Cv and working pressures up to 3,000 psig.

Patlite's LA6-POE features easy-to-use editing software for programming various color sequences in the field, a mirroring function for monitoring equipment from remote locations, and PoE (Power over Ethernet) for single cable installation. 

The NIST Chemistry WebBook contains a great deal of information regarding the properties of a broad range of chemicals and is helpful for those who deal with chemical processes. In this article, Jon Monsen has outlined the procedure for finding the actual density of a gas using the WebBook.

Patented Aquacon® Filter Cartridges have a unique high-capacity inner absorbent medium that removes all free and emulsified water from hydrocarbon fuels down to less than 5 ppm in the effluent. Absorbed water is chemically locked into this medium.

United Electric Controls recently announced a significant upgrade to its One Series line of explosion-proof, programmable transmitters and switches. The new line compresses all of the functionality of the preceding line into only five models while adding new capabilities. Learn more.

With more than 80 years of evolution since its introduction, switch technology has changed significantly enough that some of the common beliefs about switches are no longer true. Click on the button below to read about the seven common myths surrounding switches.

Take the complexity out of design with Mott's 3 easy steps to make your vision become reality while keeping it feasible and fast.

Did you know that Mott engineered porous metal can save lives? A U.S. Airways flight from New York, NY, to Charlotte, NC, proved just that.

Do you remember Compumotor - the original innovators of microstepping technology? Parker's Electromechanical & Drives division was founded on that legacy, and we continue to augment our motion control line with cutting-edge products

Machine designers are increasingly turning to gearheads to take advantage of the latest advances in servo motor technology. Essentially, a gearhead converts high-speed, low-torque energy into low-speed, high-torque output.

The Hydraulic & Fuel Filtration Division (HFFD) of Parker Hannifin manufactures a wide range of best-in-class Parker Velcon filtration and separation solutions and fuel condition monitoring products for use in assuring clean dry aviation fuel.

When commercial electromechanical actuators or stages first became available, a new machine's design was often dictated by the limited number of products available to designers with very rigid designs that did not allow for customization. Learn more.

Parker's Intelligent Parker Amplifier (IPA), a full-featured servo drive/controller, is delivered standard with EtherNet/IP (EIP) communications capability. The IPA is an EIP adapter device (aka server or slave) that is ready out of the box for a PLC to establish communications to it.
