‘Permanent Magnet’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release PCB sensor measures internal ballistics of guns from PCB Piezotronics: "The Aerospace and Defense division of PCB Piezotronics has introduced the Model 165B02 charge output pressure sensor to measure the internal ballistics of sporting, police and military shot guns.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Eriez Magnetics Europe - take a look at Eriez magnets/detectors installed in cement plant which says: "Eriez Europe has launched Atex-rated Permanent Suspended Magnets and Metalarm Metal Detectors, suitable for operation in some explosion risk or hazardous environments. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Zouch Converters, Zouch foamed acrylic tapes are visco-elastic, as well as Viscotec devises drive solution for dosage units from EMS, and S series shaft motor has combined linear encoders from Micromech.
