The digitalisation of processes in hazardous areas places high demands on explosion protection. All infrastructure components used in these areas must be intrinsically safe or explosion-proof and certified. Pepperl+Fuchs meets these requirements with a comprehensive portfolio of certified solutions, from smartphones, tablets, and HMI systems to intrinsically safe barriers and remote I/O systems to Ethernet APL technology and sensor technology in hazardous areas.

The convergence of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) is now a reality - but for industry to benefit fully, all edge devices need autonomous operation and advanced cybersecurity, including the I/O modules that handle streams of data, as Ursula Barr, Offer Manager for PAC and Software, Schneider Electric, explains.

FDB Online is pleased to announce this 120 degree stainless steel hinge, new to its range. Designed for concealed fitting, this AISI 304 hinge features a removable pin for door removal in assembly or later service.

Brushless DC (BLDC) flat motors are compact, but their small size means careful consideration over thermal management is required. As well as a focus on material selection, the operational characteristics and application environment are also crucial to specifying a BLDC flat motor. Portescap design engineer, Vishal Sapale, explains the process of motor selection for effective thermal management.

MEGATRON's finger and thumb joysticks enable precise and reliable control of multi-axis applications. Thanks to their compact design, the joysticks can be easily integrated into the application. They are used in industrial and service robots as well as in TV channel inspection systems, gantry systems and CNC machines.
