BEI Kimco Magnetics offers high-performance motor for a down hole measurement while drilling (MWD) application. Key to the down hole tool string design was a motor capable of operation at elevated winding temperatures of up to 220 °C and pressures approaching 30,000 psi. The motor is used to position a sensor that would take measurements of the materials encountered during oil exploration operations. To meet the manufacturer’s requirements, BEI Kimco developed a high performance, 3.0-in. diameter x 8.5-in. length motor with a custom housing and dual shafts for gearbox and resolver mounting. High-energy samarium-cobalt magnets are used to provide high operating efficiencies and superior corrosion resistance. The motor was also designed for operation while filled with oil, to compensate for the high pressures. www.beikimco.com BEI Kimco Magnetics

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
