housings are linear optical quadrature encoders that connect
directly to the nonrotating shaft. The SDLM-025-070-01-01
has a 1 .25-micron resolution, and the SDLM-025-070-01-05
has a 5 -micron resolution. Both motors have a stroke
length of 0 .5 in (12.7 mm), a continuous force
rating of 2 2.2 oz (5.9 N) and peak force of
67 .2 oz (18.7 N).
Moticont / 888-785-1804 / http://www.moticont.comMoldable M12 connecters for rugged applications
This line of moldable M12 connectors is designed to address
harsh-environment networking applications. The connec-
tors can be soldered directly to a cable and overmolded or
heat-shrunk. The connectors are available in male and female
styles with eight-position A-code, four-position D-code and
eight-position X-code keying options. The D-code and X-code
connectors are rated for twisted pair or Ethernet
applications, while the A-code connectors
are designed for straight wire use. All of
these connectors are shielded and are
either IP67- or IP68-rated when prop-
erly terminated and mated.
L-com Global Connectivity / http://www.l-com.comDesign flexibility with miniature manual valves
Small sizes and a variety of construction materials and port-
ing options mean designers and engineers can find the right
miniature manual valves to
meet their space and functional
requirements. These valves are
problem solvers in pneumatic ap-
plications ranging from assembly
area test fixtures to controlling
small cylinders. A choice of easy toggle or push-button actua-
tion makes them suitable for manual operations.

The iR series EtherCAT communication coupler, iR-ECAT, fa-
cilitates integration of iR series I/O modules into EtherCAT ap-
plications. iR-ECAT connecting iR series I/O modules works as
an EtherCAT slave, which allows control by EtherCAT master
controllers after importing the EtherCAT Slave Information(ESI) description file of the
coupler. It complies with
ETG500 and convenient to
configure. The product en-
ables fast communication
because, in an EtherCAT
network, messages are
read and processed as they pass through a node. If output
data is required, it is inserted in the message and transmitted
to the next node.
Weintek USA / 425-488-1100 / http://www.weintekusa.comSoftware with HMI, SCADA and IIoT capabilities
Ignition 8 is an industrial application platform with tools for
building solutions in human-machine interface (HMI), supervi-
sory control and data acquisition (SCADA), and the Industrial
Internet of Things (IIoT). It arrives
with the Ignition Perspective Mod-
ule, which provides full SCADA con-
trol from mobile phones and drag-
and-drop capabilities for designing
mobile-responsive screens that are
suitable for mobile devices. Applications built with this module
adapt to fit any size screen, from cellphone to desktop. It also
enables users to leverage a phone’s GPS, camera, Bluetooth and
orientation-sensing. It runs in any Web browser with HTML5
and requires no plug-ins.
Inductive Automation / inductiveautomation.comActive harmonic filter
The HPS TruWave active harmonic filter (AHF) is designed to
achieve total harmonic distortion, or THD, ≤5%, while requir-
ing minimal impedance on the line side of a variable-frequency
drive (VFD). It provides compliance to ANSI/IEEE 5 19-2014
requirements as well as other power quality standards. Its
application does not require detailed knowledge regarding
the nature of the load or the type of harmonics
present. It responds to the exact system needs
as they develop. The degree of the load current
distortion, which determines the magnitude,
as well as the order of harmonics involved, will
determine the filter’s dynamic output.
