Aerospace & Defense – R25 Heavy Duty Brushless Resolvers

May 6, 2015/in Aerospace and Defense, New Technology, News & Events, Products

Aerospace & Defense

When the military relies on a line of resolvers for proven performance, you know it’s a top-of-the-line product. Precise feedback and speed control of their aircraft at all times is imperative to pilots. That’s why they trust Harowe brand resolvers to deliver reliable and accurate feedback.
Thrust reversers, throttle valve indicators and starter/generator feedback are just some of the critical mechanical and jet operation applications that Harowe brand resolvers control. They are also used for flap position indicators, fuel control valve indicators, inertial guidance systems and auto-pilot controls. Battling gravity and top speeds, pilots must be confident their resolvers will perform to specification.
aboutus-ad Harowe products are designed to meet aerospace and defense requirements, including: high-speed applications (over 30,000RPM), high-temperature environments (up to 200C), high-shock and vibration environments, dual speeds, and tandems for redundancy applications. We can supply COTS, Modified COTS and ITAR solutions.

Green Energy – Meters from Weschler

Energy management and energy conservation start with the ability to monitor power and energy use. For electrical systems, this involves measuring DC or AC power (Watts, VA, VAr) or energy (Wh, VAh, VArh).

In fixed installations, digital meters offer a range of display formats, capabilities & sizes. Single display power/energy meters start at $150. Multiple display meters with user selectable parameters are available for $200-800, depending on configuration and capabilities. Bargraph power meters, which show a digital reading and analog level, start around $350.Advanced parameters, including power factor, demand & harmonics, are standard on many models. Most meters also offer options for setpoint alarms & network communications. Specialized meters are available for applications such as generator monitoring or load shedding.

Pharmaceutical Industry Solutions – explosion protected plugs and receptacles

April 29, 2015/in Industries, Pharmaceutical

Pharmaceutical Industry Solutions

Safety is of major concern to all manufacturers, but nowhere more than in the labs and process facilities of pharmaceutical companies — the world of clean rooms and powder.

Their materials and production processes put factories, equipment, and employees at special risk of explosion. Understanding and preventing these events is an area of distinctive expertise at R. STAHL.

Pharmaceutical companies live with the risk of flammable and combustible substances being released in the event of a process malfunction, or merely when a customer is cleaning with flammable liquids. Consequently, the requirements of explosion protection must span virtually all process operations, even in clean rooms.

Special Needs Give Rise to Unique Products

The photograph at right shows a product recently designed by R. STAHL in collaboration with a leading U.S. pharmaceutical firm. A special clean room power plug and receptacle panels have been designed with smooth flanges to prevent bacteria contamination. Clean room panels facilitate quick process transitions and ensure safe working environments.
