‘Variable Speed Drives’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
XGT and XGS miniature couplings prevent vibration from
Ondrives/Rino Industries, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ondrives has introduced a high-quality range of miniature couplings, which are displayed in the company's precision mechanical handbook.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release GE Fanuc releases RTU version of PAC8000 from
GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK: "GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms has introduced the PAC8000 RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) Controller, a rugged, field-mountable platform. ".
In July 2009, we covered the news from Saft Industrial Batteries
- take a look at Saft presents battery technologies at EP Shanghai
which says: "Saft is showing its portfolio of battery technologies developed to meet the specific needs of renewable energy applications for efficient and reliable energy storage solutions. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Nord Drivesystems, SK 200E frequency inverter range launched by Nord,
as well as Rodriguez releases latest Compacta geared motors from Rodriguez (UK),
and OP sensors precisely detect parts from IFM Electronic.
