Fairview Microwave, a supplier of on-demand microwave and RF components, announces a new line of high-reliability SPDT surface mount electromechanical RF switches that cover broadband frequencies from DC to 8 GHz. These RF switches offer reliability and repeatable performance – which makes them an ideal solution for demanding industries and applications related to aerospace, defense, industrial, […]
Tektronix has introduced the MDO4000C oscilloscope which includes up to six built-in instruments, (spectrum analyser, arbitrary/function generator, logic analyser, protocol analyser and digital volt meter/frequency counter). When configured with an integrated spectrum analyser, it provides simultaneous and synchronised acquisition of analogue, digital and RF signal analysis – ideal for wireless communications in IoT and […]
Thermal imaging has become essential technology for diagnosing mechanical and electrical faults, and also for spotting energy loss and other building problems. Not every application, however, needs to be pursued with a fully featured infrared camera, and this is why FLIR Systems has introduced its new TG130. Priced at approximately R4700, this new Spot […]
Krohne has introduced three new Smartpat sensors for conductive conductivity measurement in liquids to extend its portfolio of process analysis sensors and systems. The sensors are the Smartpat Cond 1200, 3200 and 5200. Introduced in 2013, this is a series of digital, two-wire, loop powered sensors with integrated transmitter technology. Using a VP cable, they can be connected […]
An explanation of the refurbishment, reclamation and repair of explosion-protected equipment for use in hazardous areas. The aim with repair of equipment for use in explosive atmospheres is to restore the integrity of the equipment to its original design. Three conditions must be met simultaneously before a fire or explosion can occur. A fuel […]
A review of how adding power management to building management services can reduce energy costs and improve building performance while enhancing occupant comfort. Power and energy management systems have long been used in power critical applications like industry, data centers and hospitals. Advances in technology now make it easier to use such tools in […]
The terms “functional safety” and “Industry 4.0” are on everyone’s lips. In coming decades, industry will have to manage myriad new tasks, which means that digitalisation in production will have to develop rapidly to keep pace. Siko’s aim is to create machines that can control and monitor short-term production changes independently, without posing a […]
The Electrak HD is an electric linear actuator platform with onboard electronics which can eliminate the need for stand-alone controls. Higher power opens a new, wider range of hydraulic applications to electric conversion. It meets the most extreme OEM component environmental acceptance tests including IP69K. Its feature-rich modular design for all control and feed-back options is simple […]
Peregrine Semiconductor, founder of RF SOI (silicon on insulator) and pioneer of advanced RF solutions, has been awarded “Product of the Year” by a 2015 Electronic Products magazine, for its True DC RF switch. The UltraCMOS PE42020 is the industry’s first and only RF integrated switch to operate from DC (0 Hz) to 8 GHz. […]
