OEM Automatic and Motion29 offer more than just component supply. With extensive UK stockholding, an experienced in-house workshop and the capability to deliver bespoke solutions, customers benefit from reduced lead times, simplified procurement and quicker delivery of finished products to site.

The instinct for customisation remains deeply embedded in aerospace engineering, but it is increasingly being tested by the realities of modern program development, as the experts at Portescap explain.

When your OEM or retrofit application requires precise linear measurements, even in harsh, outdoor environments the GCA series of cable transducers, available from sensor specialist Baumer are designed for safe, low-maintenance operation.

ifm has announced the market launch of its SU Clamp-On (SUCxxx series) ultrasonic flow sensors. Designed for non-intrusive flow measurement on rigid metal and plastic pipes, the new series clamps directly onto existing pipelines without the need for cutting, welding, or process interruption.

norelem offers a wide range of switch box and enclosure solutions - from leveling feet and control elements to closure, hinge and sealing technology, to cable management. Designers and plant manufacturers benefit from a wide selection of standard parts, CAD data, and short delivery times.

Mouser Electronics announces a new global distribution agreement with Amphenol CDI. Customers can now purchase Amphenol CDI's rugged RF connectors, high-performance RF cable assemblies, aerospace interconnect solutions and more through Mouser's global distribution network. Mouser now offers products from over 60 Amphenol divisions.

Across factory automation, packaging, water treatment, and automotive manufacturing, machine builders are facing a familiar challenge: higher airflow demands in increasingly compact machine designs. Moving to a larger valve platform can solve the airflow problem but introduces new complexity - different interfaces, different configurations, and disruption to established machine architectures. Emerson has developed the AVENTICS XV05 High Flow Valve System to address this gap directly.

When machine builders are specifying motion systems, it is easy to get caught up on the numbers. Torque, speed, power density, and price are all clear, measurable factors, and they provide a straightforward way to compare components. But in modern machine design, these figures rarely tell the full story, as the experts at Kollmorgen explain.

Increased operating costs, regulatory pressures, and the rapid pace of change are growing challenges for operators in the marine industry, making reliability and whole-life value increasingly important. These challenges are rarely solved by addressing individual components in isolation; instead, a whole-vessel approach can help operators to extend service life and reduce maintenance requirements, ultimately lowering total cost of ownership, as the experts at Regal Rexnord explain.

LEWA has unveiled its new Odor Control Module (OCM), the seventh generation of its proven odorization control technology. Combining decades of industry expertise with modern automation technology, the modular platform delivers precise odorant dosing while improving safety, operational transparency, and long-term reliability, as well as simplifying operation, maintenance, and future system expansion.
