EXAIR's new 303SS Air Jets provide reliable and efficient blowoff and cleaning within corrosive, high temperature or washdown environments. These 1/8 NPT stainless steel air jets replace open tubes and pipe nipples on parts cleaning, drying and cooling operations. With temperature rated up to 400 degrees F, they will produce up to 1.25 pounds of force upon a target.

JW Winco Inc. offers GN 126 and GN 126.1 zinc die-cast flat adjustable tension levers in steel and stainless steel, with tapped or plain bore insert or threaded stud.

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.

SCANLAB GmbH announces series production of its high-end excelliSCAN scan system. This scan head proved its suitability for reliable industrial deployment in series micromachining, and has now itself gone into series production.
