The CUB5 provides the user the ultimate in flexibility, from its complete user programming to the optional relay output capability. The meter can be programmed as a single or dual counter with rate indication capability. The display can be toggled either manually or automatically between the selected displays. Red Lion CUB5 Series Display has 0.46″ (11.7 mm) high digits. The LCD is available in two versions, reflective (CUB5R000) and backlight (CUB5B000). The backlight version is user selectable for green or red backlighting with variable display intensity. The Red Lion Counter is programmable for one of eight different count modes, including bi-directional and quadrature. When programmed as a dual counter, each counter has a separate scale factor and decimal points. In the counter/rate indicator mode, each have their own scaling and decimal point read-outs in different engineering units. The Red Lion Meter has two separate inputs which provide different functions depending on which

Condensate Drain Is Easy To Maintain Bekomat 31/32 condensate drains just launched by Beko Technologies consist of only two parts. This design principle offers considerable advantages in terms of maintenance and economics. The devices of this new generation are made up of only two parts: a service unit comprising the corrosion-resistant aluminium housing together with all maintenance-relevant components, and an electronic control and sensor unit, which is installed only once. Both parts are coupled via a practical snap connection. This design makes it possible to replace all parts subject to wear or requiring maintenance in one go: the old service unit is simply and quickly removed and a new, works-tested unit is fitted instead. The separation and connection of the two modules requires no tools - it's all done in next to no time. The new service unit, which is pressure and performance tested at the manufacturer's facility, is ready for use. It does not need any additional elect

Magnetic encoders keep track on the drag strip In Stanley Kubrick's classic film Dr Strangelove Slim Pickens was dropped from the aeroplane riding a bomb. If he'd been riding a motorcycle then he would certainly have been astride a KTM nitro methane fuelled dragster built by Finland based Salakazi Racing. With almost 1500 horsepower from just 1995cm3, the KTM Dragster does the quarter mile in 6.7 seconds at a terminal velocity of 316km/h. Helping tame the KTM's (barely) controlled explosion is a brace of 'bomb proof' Renishaw RM22 compact, high-speed rotary magnetic encoders. Take a 360kg motorcycle with an absurd power output, a fearless, Finnish gentleman with a reputation for breaking speed records, and things happen quickly. Within a split second, the engine screams to 7500rev/min. Before the spectator has a chance to comprehend what has transpired, the race is over and bike and rider are a quarter mille down the track, braking frantically. In motor racing terms
