Thomson Industries Inc. has expanded its line of stepper motor linear actuators with models featuring built-in antirotational guidance. The new motorized lead screw actuator (MLA) product saves designers of high-precision, shorter-stroke applications the cost, time and maintenance worries related to designing and building externally guided systems themselves.

Dialight announced the launch of a new 597 SMD series of LED indicators. The four new indicators offer tighter intensity binning, reduced light bleed, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for high-performance electronics, networking and control panel applications.

Mencom 1 1/8" MIN size III series circular connectors have been redesigned to deliver better connectivity and stability in harsh factory environments.

Harvey Performance Co. announces the release of Machining Advisor Pro (MAP), a tool designed to quickly, seamlessly and accurately deliver recommended running parameters to machinists using Helical Solutions endmills. This web-based tool works within the capability of a machinists' machine, tool and setup to offer tailored, specific speeds and feed parameters.

When it comes to obtaining oil and grease-free surfaces in a stable process, a solvent-based part cleaning method will commonly provide benefits at the process technology, economic and ecological levels. Given the polar nature of both the contaminant and the cleaning medium, cleaning will be achieved quickly and reliably.

The L.S. Starrett Co. has introduced a range of digital electronic Indicators conforming to true AGD (American Gage Design) Group 1 dimensions, providing the ability to replace traditional mechanical indicating applications in the smallest AGD size specification class.
