New couplings from Lovejoy
A new design of Jaw In-Shear elastomeric couplings from Lovejoy, Inc., designated JIS 6-Pin, improves the no-tools elastomeric element locking system, adds six larger sizes extending maximum bore up to 9â?, and introduces a JIS spacer-type series intended as non-lubricated, drop-in replacements for grid spacer couplings.
Tiny actuators with but one moving part
Addressing the large applications gap between macroscopic motors and micro-electromechanical systems, Nanomuscle actuators from Steadlands International (Northumberland, UK) use the properties of shape-memory alloys to create tiny actuators that can be produced at a fraction of the size and cost of traditional electric motors.
Sensor gives true valve feedback
Unlike traditional solenoid valves, where an LED signal only indicates the solenoid valve is receiving power, KVâs extension to its range of solenoid valves now provides true positional feedback indicating the valve is actually in its âopenâ? or âclosedâ? position.
No obstruction to inline conductivity sensor
New from Rosemount Analytical is the Model 242 âflow-throughâ? inductive sensor for the measurement of process liquid conductivity.
Statoil signs giant gas deal with British Gas
Norway’s oil major Statoil clinched a giant gas export deal with British Gas Trading, paving the way for a new North Sea pipeline that could tighten its grip on a growing UK market.
