‘Threaded Inserts’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release ITT introduces packer feedthrough system from ITT Interconnect Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "The BIW field-attachable packer feedthrough system launched by ITT Interconnect Solutions is designed to provide a faster method of passing power cables through packers.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release James Walker designs advanced seat material from James Walker and Co: "Working closely with valve manufacturers, James Walker Devol has developed Devlon V-API as a superior seat material that would overcome the individual shortcomings of all the other material grades.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Souriau - take a look at Souriau creates optical contact for harsh settings which says: "Souriau, in partnership with several aircraft manufacturers, has developed the Elio high-performance optical contact for applications in harsh environments.".

Take a look also at the news release from Misumi, Misumi bumper mitigates shock in automated devices, as well as Instron introduces syringe test fixture from Instron, and Wirelesshart switch enables level detection from Emerson Process Management.
