Harmonic linear belt drive (HLD) actuators; longer than 3 m
OEMDynamics update HLD 60-H3 actuators, greater lengths without performance loss.
OEMDynamics, 
a division of Animatics Corporation, enhanced features on its HLD 60-H3 Actuator. The actuator can allegedly achieve lengths greater than 3 meters without attributable losses in performance, and therefore can be used in a wide range of applications. The HLD 60-H3 reportedly features a sturdy, seamless, and magnetically retained steal strip – that meets the European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Due to its unique harmonic principle, the H3 belt achieves a gear reduction equivalent of up to 40:1 without the need for a gearhead. For many vertical applications, no brake is required.

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.
