‘Variable Frequency Drive’
A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Stealth.com releases mini PC from
Stealth Computer Corporation, which we summarised at the time by saying "Stealth.com has released a small form factor, or mini PC, designed specifically for in-vehicle/mobile/embedded applications. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Torque motors eliminate extruder vibration from
Parker Hannifin - Electromechanical and Drives Division: "The latest high-performance torque motors and variable speed drives from Parker Hannifin are playing an important role in a range of extruders manufactured by plastics machinery company, Ghioldi.".
In November 2008, we covered the news from Ricardo
- take a look at Ricardo launches engine simulation product
which says: "Ricardo has announced the launch of WAVE-RT, the first version of Ricardo's engine simulation product.".
Take a look also at the news release from Bonfiglioli UK Industrial Solutions, Bevel helical gearboxes take to the bridge,
as well as RDP develops spring return LVDTs from RDP Electronics,
and Universal controller for vehicle hydraulics from Sensor-Technik UK.
