provide maximum connection space with minimum outer dimensions.
Avago Technologies has added a new compact high-temperature six-channel
optical incremental C-shaped encoder module for brushless DC motors
used in industrial and factory automation equipment. The
company’s miniature AEDT-9340 encoder module is designed to
enable the reduction in overall motor sizes and fits easily in round
encoder housings.
Sierra Instruments has released its Innova-Sonic in-line ultrasonic flow metre
with order-of-magnitude improvement to transit-time measurement
technology. The company says it is targeted to customers as an
alternative choice for typical liquid Mag-Meter applications where
high-performance and affordable pricing are important. The metre has a
reading accuracy of +/– 0.5% but has the ability to measure
down to zero flow and virtually any clean liquid regardless of
conductivity sets the product apart.
CPS Corporation has developed its AlSiC (aluminum silicon carbide) metal
matrix composite, suited for base plates material for insulated gate
bipolar transistor (IGBT) used in high-power traction, power control,
