Because the SFAM is a pressure and flow sensor in one, machines need only one component to measure multiple values. By measuring compressed air pressure, flow and consumption, among other things, the SFAM provides full insight into the compressed air system. This insight is the first step in a more economical, safe and sustainable system.

With the VPPI proportional pressure control valve, all nominal sizes are controlled directly; without the need for pilot valves or pre-stages. Due to the pressure compensating element, the valve regulates dynamically and accurately; even at the larger nominal sizes. The powerful and low-friction voice coil makes the VPPI highly dynamic. The integrated position controller contributes to high stability.

Compact, flexible and easy to install - this is how the new compact control and signaling modules can be described, with which Murrelektronik expands its range of pushbuttons with standard M12 connection for electrical installations.

The Blue E+ S range of cooling units has now been now extended with 4 coolers which, despite having capacities of only 300, 500, 780 and 1000 watts, nevertheless have the same built-in hybrid refrigeration technology as the larger units. This combination of heat pipe- and inverter technology reduces the CO2 footprint by allowing energy savings of up to 75%. At low ambient temperatures, the heat pipe dissipates heat and reduces heat loss in the cabinet with the active cooling circuit switched off, thus keeping energy consumption very low. When cooling demand increases, however, this is met by activating an inverter-controlled cooling circuit. Together, this provides a cooling capacity perfectly matched to demand. The use of the refrigerant R-513A further reduces the CO2 footprint because its GWP (Global Warming Potential) is about 56% lower than that of traditional refrigerants.

Establishing an Industrial Network that meets the requirements of a future-proof infrastructure with high availability, reliability and transparency is becoming increasingly important.

You may think: "if my frequency drive fails, I'll order a new one right away". But is a one-to-one replacement still available? At what point do you want to have this information? When production stops, or perhaps a little earlier? You may not realise it, but a Danfoss AC drive often lasts more than 10 years.

We have proven our expertise in this area: Since the early 1960s, we have provided sensor solutions for many applications in logistics, packaging technology, mechanical engineering and mechatronics, among others. In many cases, an important role is played by safety components such as light curtains, access guarding devices, safety laser scanners, safety switches, controllers and relays. We currently offer, for example, the most innovative laser scanners with e.g. Profisafe interface and monitoring of several safety fields at the same time, easily parameterisable and high system reliability even in dusty environments!

Eaton already presented the DG1 General Purpose frequency drive that is suitable for any application up to 630 kW and enjoys new modern functionalities with pump and fan algorithms. Now Eaton is launching a Micro variant of the same model that also fits into very compact enclosures.

Supply lines can easily be overlooked and thus create additional accident hazards at the workplace. Poorly laid compressed air hoses or extension cables are not only a tripping hazard, but also a nuisance during transport and are not to be underestimated as a source of danger, especially when great importance is attached to the swift running of work processes.

Mico Pro is Murrelektronik's innovative power monitoring system for use in 12 and 24 VDC applications with patented switch-off technology.
