Screw jack configuration and selection tool

Thomson, a leading global provider of linear motion control solutions, has added a unique screw jack configuration and selection tool to its online engineering toolset. The new Thomson screw jack product selector helps design engineers optimize and specify screw jacks for applications involving loads of up to 100 tons. “Screw jacks are increasingly replacing hydraulic cylinders in many ultra-heavy, low duty-cycle applications, and there are hundreds of thousands of possible configurations. Our new product selector helps design engineers find the fastest path to a screw jack that is expertly engineered to meet their needs,” said Mitch Katona, Product Line Specialist – Screw Jacks at Thomson. Intuitive interface Design engineers using the new tool will configure their screw jack via an intuitive online interface that prompts them to enter load, speed, travel, duty cycle and other motion parameters.

100% solid-state polymer electrolytes for non-flammable batteries

Solid-state polymer electrolytes developed by Nuvvon as a safe alternative to liquid electrolytes in the manufacture of non-flammable batteries are UL certified to DOT standard SP20798. This allows Nuvvon prototype cells to be approved as safe for global air shipment.  To gain certification, Nuvvon solid-state pouch cells passed independent abuse testing by UL that included overcharge and over discharge cycling. Nuvvon solid polymer electrolytes address challenges of liquid electrolytes used in lithium-ion batteries that can explode when overheated or overcharged.

Direct current miniature circuit breakers

A new line of direct current (DC) miniature circuit breakers (MCBs), specifically designed for higher voltage applications with DC currents. The new line of Series 1110 DC MCBs feature an industry-best rating of 250V DC per-pole, far greater than the highest per-pole ratings currently available from comparable DC MCBs, which top out at 125V DC. Available in one- to four-pole constructions for circuit protection up to 1000V DC, with current ratings from 0.5A to 63A, the robust devices provide the most efficient short circuit and overload protection available, affording end-users significant cost, space and time savings. They are UL 489B listed for photovoltaic renewable energy system applications. Additional target applications include EV charging stations, energy transmission and distribution networks and industrial control, such as powering the large motors used in robotic, automation and material conveyance installations.

Self-Clean Package Retrofit

Lead Oxide reduces the equipment’s ability to dry and requires increased temperatures to perform to specifications. By returning the conveyor belt through the bottom of the lower supply duct with this retrofit, the duct remains clean and clear of lead oxide build up. This also eliminates the need to physically clean the lower duct doors individually.   ITS’ simple Self-Cleaning Retrofit for Existing conveyor belt ovens and Flashdrying Ovens is safer, saves time, money, and energy. The Retrofit Package Includes: ·     Reduction in oven temperatures by up to 60°F ·     Reduces facility energy and maintenance costs ·     Quality of production improved due to consistency of temperature ·     Conveyor belt returned below the oven ·     Reduces energy consumption ·     Reduces the time required to perform maintenance ·     Enhanced Employee Safety ·     Reduction in airborne lead oxide particles with optional vacuum connection ·     Custom Engineered Kit ensures existing system architecture and operation are retained.
