Custom-designed woven materials for critical rigging and tie down applications
Bally Ribbon Mills (BRM), an industry leader in the design, development, and manufacture of highly specialized engineered woven fabrics, announces the availability of a wide range of lightweight two-and three-dimensional woven materials that serve as the structure or substrate for critical rigging and tie down applications that require strength, interlaminar shear, enduring resistance, or conductivity. Recent examples include specialized materials for load securement/stabilization equipment, chafing sleeves used for lifting and sling materials for safe load transfer at cargo control facilities, as well as webbing used to safely move chip manufacturing equipment around factories. BRM rigging and tie down webbing is also used as a sling in an actuator/drum serving as the strength tendon of a robotic arm used in a loading device being designed for a lunar habitat. BRM custom-designs specialty applications with high strength to weight ratios, flame/heat resistance, flexibility, low elongation, and abrasion resistance. Available in widths from one to six inches, BRM rigging and tie-down materials are manufactured in such high performance fibers as Kevlar, Vectran, Technora, Spectra, and Dyneema.

Memosens sensors enable continuous disinfection measurement
Endress+Hauser disinfection sensors for chlorine dioxide, free chlorine, total chlorine, free bromine and dissolved ozone make use of this amperometric measuring principle. Real-time measurement technology allows for immediate responses to process changes, optimizing the dosing of disinfectants and reducing costs. A unique feature of these chlorine sensors is their ability to remain active and ready to measure as soon as chlorine is detected, even after extended periods without chlorine, unlike other sensors that struggle to provide accurate readings after such intervals. The following ensure even more simplicity, leading to cost savings: Reagents are not required: No costly reagents are required using the amperometric measuring principle. This also eliminates the need for their disposal and the associated workload. Faster polarization time: The optimized polarization time means that the disinfection sensors reach a stable display value faster after commissioning.
HBT-321 Rectangular Bubble-Tight Damper
Greenheck has expanded its line of isolation dampers with the new HBT-321 rectangular bubble-tight damper that is rated to 20 in. wg (5 kPa). Each HBT-321 damper unit is factory-tested to ensure bubble-tight leakage performance per AMCA 500-D prior to shipping and also meets ASME AG-1, Class 0A requirements.
High-reliability low capacitance TVS diode series
The SMBLCE-HR/HRA (600 W), SMCLCE-HR/HRA (1500 W), and SMDLCE-HR/HRA (3000 W) series stand out for their unique combination of high reliability and low capacitance in compact JEDEC DO-214AA and DO-214AB packages. These diodes are meticulously designed, manufactured, and screened to eliminate early failures, ensuring consistent performance without degradation even under continuous surge conditions.
