Series M240 ICP strain sensors and Model 410A01 ICP signal conditioner from PCB Piezotronics, Inc., use piezoelectric sensing elements to indirectly measure dynamic and quasi-static stress forces on machinery structures. M240 ICP Strain Sensors are suitable for applications that require the measurement of repetitive strain curves for monitoring forces experienced during manufacturing, assembly, on-line processes, quality assurance, or end-of-line product testing.

The Actuator Division of Parker Hannifin has introduced the LCB series of compact linear actuators. The series incorporates a low friction, dry running sliding bearing carriage said to provide long, reliable travel life - even at 100% duty cycle. Coupled with Parker motors/controls, the series of linear actuators is also said to offer a fully programmable, high-performance solution at a competitive cost, while reducing space requirements.

TT electronics, OPTEK Technology has developed a family of optical isolators. The OPI1270, OPI1280 and OPI1290 series consists of a visible red LED with phototransistor or Photologic sensor, with transfer data through a plastic flexible cable.

Jergens, Inc. has announced handwheels to suit a wide variety of applications —from replacement parts to original equipment. Jergens offers several models that vary in material type, specifications and features.
