igus has introduced a new bearing, drylin W Exchange, for its drylin W linear system in which the liner can be replaced directly on the rail without dismantling the system. By using a practical assembly tool, users can push the old liner out of the housing, clip the new one on to the shaft and push it into the housing for a flush fit. The quick and easy swap of liners will save engineers time and money while maximizing machine up-time.

SICK announced the launch of SES/SEM70/90 Motor Feedback Encoders. The SES/SEM70/90 are motor feedback systems offered in 25 mm and 55 mm diameters that use holistic sensing capacitive technology, which makes them unaffected by external influences such as electromagnetic interference and humidity.

igus has developed a new tribo-plastic material for clip and flanged bearings that is highly elastic, chemical resistant and withstands moisture. The wear-resistant material, iglidur K230, will be used in clip and flanged bearings, which are commonly used in the sheet metal industry.

PI has added a high dynamics model to its range of compact hexapods. Designed for photonics alignment applications, the hexapod provides 6 degrees of freedom, actuator resolution of 5 nanometers and repeatability as good as 60 nanometers, while providing velocities to 20mm/sec. Sustaining loads to 5kg, the new H-811.F2 features a removable magnetic kinematic plate to accelerate workflow with different fiber optics components. Its compact size, large travel range of up to 34mm for linear motions and up to 42° for rotary motions, and a user programmable pivot point facilitate work with fiber optic and photonics components.

The leveling foot castors offered as part of the WDS Component Parts Ltd. range of castors and wheels for trolleys and mobile equipment are designed to allow vertical adjustment so that the supported equipment can be leveled. The range also includes light-, medium- and heavy-duty capacity models, so that virtually all requirements can be met from a single source.

A line of rigid couplings that are ideal for heavy, suspended loads on shafts used in mixers, pumps, fans and related drive systems has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp.

Engineering components manufacturer WDS Component Parts Ltd. has extended its range of antivibration and rubber stop AV mounts by introducing stainless steel versions of most sizes and types. These are intended for use in applications where corrosion and/or hygiene are issues.

For use in harsh environmental conditions, Nanotec developed the PD2-C-IP, a brushless DC servomotor with integrated controller and 42 mm flange size in protection class IP65.

Motion plastics manufacturer igus introduced new tribologically optimized plain bearings that ensure lubrication-free mounting of individual chain links, which will increase the uptime of crane systems and gantries.

JW Winco Inc. offers Inch Size GN 784 Mounting Clamps with Swivel Ball Joint, Aluminum. The RoHS compliant mounting clamps with swivel ball joint allow precise and variable adjustment of the ball pivot within the rotation range.
