‘Silicone Rubber’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Pressure transducers measure up to 20,000psig from Endevco, which we summarised at the time by saying "Endevco has announced the 8511A series, a range of piezoresistive gauge pressure transducers designed for maximum reliability in extreme measurement environments. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Misumi bumper mitigates shock in automated devices from Misumi: "Misumi USA has launched a Shock Absorbing Bumper, designed for use in a range of automated factory-automation and motion-control machinery and devices. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Advanced Antivibration Components - take a look at AAC offers range of metric Neo-Flex couplings which says: "A new series of metric Neo-Flex couplings from Advanced Antivibration Components (AAC) is claimed to feature excellent torsional vibration isolation and shaft-to-shaft insulation.".

Take a look also at the news release from Nexans, Nexans adds T-shaped connectors to MV range, as well as Ecolink EVW weld connectors are splatter resistant from IFM Electronic, and Insert couplings provide electrical isolation from Stock Drive Products/Sterling Instrument.
