EPC is Proud to Announce "Superseal"; The Encoder Designed to Handle Your Worst Nightmare

Using optical shaft encoders in nasty environments - caustic, fine dust, saline, and the like - has always been, at best, a chancy proposition. The electronics and other critical components at the heart of an optical encoder do not lend themselves to being used in these types of difficult environments. At least that used to be the case, but Superseal, the encoder designed by Encoder Products Company (EPC) specifically for your worst nightmare, goes a long way towards solving that problem.

Built on the time tested and ultra reliable Model 725 Size 25 Optical Shaft Encoder platform, Superseal starts by adding double o-rings to the case seal and two Teflon seals to the bearing assembly, but it doesn't stop there. A double case, sealed encoder within a sealed encoder design, means that, even if the nasty stuff gets past the first layer of protection, extra layers still won't let it reach the critical components. Add to that still more sealing around the cable ports, and special connector options, including the Turck Eurofast, and you have an encoder that can "take a lickin' and keep on tickin'". Superseal was beta tested in some of the worst environments imaginable, like battery manufacturing plants, off shore oil rigs, etc., and while we can't say it always survived, it always stayed operational at least three to five times longer than any alternative. Superseal is definitely worth a try in your next "worst nightmare".

Superseal, like all Accu-Coder brand encoders, is manufactured to EPC's exacting standards to ensure the quality you've come to expect from the Accu-Coder brand. And, with EPC's exclusive three-year warranty, you can be confident your Accu-Coder will provide years of trouble free use.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to
