Parker's Universal Motor Adapter (UMA) makes it easier than ever for machine designers to specify their linear stage with whatever motor they'd like while avoiding the often drawn-out customization process.

Contemplating an actuator for your pneumatic linear-motion system? Here are some tips on how to select the best one for the job.

Echoline Low Pressure Monitor was developed for semiconductor manufacturers to monitor and balance gas exhaust systems, alert plant engineers to problems, and automate adjustment of high and low trip points before and after system maintenance. The XHP Transducer is designed for accurate, reliable sensing of process gases.

Parker Domnick Hunter Process Filtration now offers their E-series vessels in 316 stainless steel. This expanded offering compliments Parker's current 304 stainless steel models.

Parker's PM-DD servo motor is designed to provide high torque and high accuracy. Tapped mounting holes and a hollow through bore allow this motor to be used in a variety of applications that require the load to be attached directly to the motor.

An Industry 4.0 Workstation is a semi-automated workstation that provides a link between the real world and the virtual world. It is a versatile solution that enables a highly efficient use of resources, great planning, reliability and short throughput times. Learn more.

Motorizing the feed process increased production, and significantly lowered electricity and labor costs.

GasShield® PENTA® filters offer the high flow and low ΔP of Teflon®, but with a 100% nickel filter element. This design reduces filter element surface area, resulting in lower levels of moisture retention and faster purge time.

These new models connect directly to the database and accelerate leveraging real-time data for productivity improvement, predictive maintenance, and quality traceability at production sites.

Unplanned downtime is very expensive for any company— and emergency downtime can be disastrous for profits and continued viability. Emergency downtime (when something has gone seriously, catastrophically wrong) can cost five times as much as downtime for planned maintenance.

Designing an effective and long-lasting system—one that will not only meet current requirements but will also provide exceptional performance and quality in the future—is a challenge that many manufacturers struggle to meet. This article looks at how to design an optimal system. Learn more

Precision Sensors XHP Series "High Purity" Transducer is designed for accurate, reliable, long-term sensing of process gases used in the manufacturing of semiconductor products. LED status light verifies that the transducer is operating correctly. Color band labels are provided with the unit to allow the installer to mark and identify the measured gas. 

The innovative battery-less absolute encoder operates through the combination of gears recognizing the rotational position data, which eliminates the need for a battery (and battery replacement) that is normally required for a conventional absolute encoder.

A semiconductor manufacturer of wafer handling machines and wet benches was looking for a way to reduce the engineering hours spent on writing code. Semiconductor companies are commonly required by their customers to be SECS/GEM compliant and this can be a laborious and costly task.

Determining problems and errors in the field just got easier with the new WIKA MH-3 pressure transmitter for mobile working machines. WIKA Instrument, LP captures the latest pressure sensor technology with the addition of the diagnostic function in the new MH-3 pressure transmitter.

A wide variety of product types are in the new RCP6 series, which also include wide slider types and wide radial cylinder types, and no battery maintenance is required because there is no battery. Since home return is not required at equipment startup or after an emergency stop, this feature reduces operation time and production costs.

Omron has been providing automation solutions for more than 80 years. Their washdown-rated products and extreme washdown products in the IP69k protection class help you deliver safer solutions to your customers.

Securing the go ahead for a system upgrade can be difficult in a competitive work environment, where every cost must be accounted for and validated. Getting your project noticed and approved when it's lost among a sea of competing projects—each one making a claim on finite resources—can seem an impossible task.

Workplace safety is—or should be—a primary focus of every organization, regardless of whether we're talking about a classroom, an office, a manufacturing facility, or an oil rig. Employees deserve a workspace that is as safe and secure as it can possibly be.

When discussing fluid power, pressure is the basis for producing any kind of work.  Work cannot be achieved without pressure. To understand the finer points of fluid power, one must first understand the concept of pressure
