The Timken Company has reached an agreement to acquire BEKA Lubrication (BEKA), a leading global supplier of automatic lubrication systems, for approximately $165 million. The company serves a diverse range of industrial sectors including wind, food and beverage, rail, on- and off-highway and other process industries. BEKA sa
Timken Belts announces the introduction of their new Carlisle Super Arc belt specifically designed for live/powered roller conveyor drives commonly used in warehouse or product loading and shipping industries. Super Arc belts are engineered to resist the extreme stress and wear experienced with friction driv
The product comes with an analog output signal of 2 mV/V while higher load levels of up to 75 t are also available. Due to its load levels, the product is an economic weighing solution, for example with three load cells instead of four. A new type of stainless steel makes the load cell Inteco more resistant to corrosion
EPC's A58HE and A58SE models are Ethernet-ready, multi-turn absolute encoders designed for harsh factory and plant environments. In addition to EtherCAT deterministic communication, the models A58HE and A58SE now offer Profinet as well. These encoders are designed to work where field
To the uninitiated, Douglas Martin’s crusade to help integrate the people who spend the money with those who pay the bills might seem lofty. But a recent visit to Catalyst Paper, illustrates how the heavy-duty engineer achieves his goal. The producer of mechanical printing paper is building efficiencies int
The European bearings market is witnessing steady growth. Factors stimulating growth include the adoption of sophisticated bearings with improved performance and demand for bearings with longer service life, higher efficiency and lower maintenanc
Most people involved in belt conveyors, especially those used in mining and oil sands or heavy equipment operations have heard of “taconite” seals in the bearing pillow blocks (housings) of the pulleys. Taconite is a form of iron ore. It is a sedimentary form of iron ore made up mostly of magnetite, hematite
EPC Model A58HE and Model A58SE are Ethernet-ready, multi-turn absolute encoders designed for harsh factory and plant environments. In addition to Ethercat Deterministic Communication, the models A58HE and A58SE now offer Profinet communication protocol as well. These encoders are particularly suited to appl
The GVCM-051-127-01 linear dc voice coil motor has an internal shaft and bearing. The 3.75-in (95.3-mm) stroke of the precision-ground 0.236-in- (6-mm-) diameter shaft with an internal thread is guided by a long-life plain bearing that allow side loads up to 1 lb (4.4 N). The motor has threaded mounting holes in the housing
The LVCM-038-038-01 vacuum-compatible brushless, quiet, efficient, low-inertia, high-acceleration, high-speed linear dc voice coil motor has zero cogging and features high accuracy and high repeatability when operated in a closed loop as a dc servo motor. It has a stroke length of 0.75 in (19.1 mm) with a high force-to-size
The DGST pneumatic mini slide and yoke plate are machined from a single piece of aluminum, which results in low-torsion and no misalignment. A backlash-free piston rod/yoke connection contributes to the slide’s precision. Maintenance-free twin piston drives and high-force-capacity recirculating ball bearing guides provide th
SureStep IP65-rated high-torque stepper motors are completely protected from solids and dust ingress and from low-pressure waterjets from any direction. These fully sealed, single-shaft motors are available with industry-standard NEMA 17, 23 and 34 mounting flanges and provide holding torque from 61 to 1,288 oz-in. The motor
