An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Accelerometers obtain hazardous-area certification from
Wilcoxon Research, which we summarised at the time by saying "Wilcoxon Research has announced an additional intrinsically safe certification in accordance with IECEx requirements for six general-purpose accelerometers.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Newport launches stabiliser cleanroom isolator from
Newport Spectra-Physics: "Newport Corporation has introduced the S-2000AC stabiliser cleanroom isolator.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Graphite Metallizing Corp
- take a look at Graphalloy bushings are flange-block mounted
which says: "A series of Graphalloy self-lubricating bushings mounted in stainless-steel flange blocks is now available from Graphite Metallizing Corporation. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Advanced Manufacturing UK , Advanced Manufacturing announces Medtec 2010,
as well as Himax increases chlorine plant availability from Hima Paul Hildebrandt,
and Guide advises on mounting and dismounting bearings from Schaeffler (UK).
