FLIR has added three new models -- the ultra-portable InfraCAM™, the high resolution ThermaCAM® EX300 and the ThermaCAM® E45 -- to its extensive line of thermal imagers. These models provide professional electricians and facility managers with the ability to easily detect and diagnose problems with electrical systems. These cameras enable entire electrical systems to be scanned to inspect areas that can't easily be reached with thermocouples or other contact-based tools, to instantly detect faulty connections, fuses, circuit breakers, and wiring for immediate repair, and diagnose their potential impact on the operation of a facility.

Many small diameter steel filaments (down to 0.04mm thickness) are braided in groups avoiding the necessity of a center core wire used in ordinary timing belts. This tension member technology is utilized as standard for all BRECOflex timing belts. The timing belt strength and spring rate is determined by the tension member construction and greatly influences the tooth shear strength and the possible power to be transmitted. This design also allows the polyurethane to fully bond all strands with the whole tension member cord.

The AD-70-STM-1 Socket Timing Module works with all popular voltages from 24 to 240V AC/DC and converts either the 783 or 784 series relays to time delay relays. This module also allows the user to replace the relay without harm to the timing circuit, reducing maintenance costs. The Socket Timing Module has eight dipswitch selectable time scales ranging from 0.1 seconds to ten days. These scales can be fine adjusted using the built-in potentiometer. The timing module is equipped with both transient and reverse polarity protection. Also available is the new 783-3C series cube relays and three magnetic latching relays.

Wilcoxon's Intelligent Transmitter (iT) series are signal conditioning modules that monitor machine health by trending the vibration of the machine. Each iT transmitter is custom-built to user specifications. Customers specify virtually every feature of the transmitter at the time of order, including full scale measurements that are now selectable in metric units. It can be configured for acceleration inputs in m/s2, velocity inputs in mm/s, and displacement inputs in mm. The vibration transmitter converts traditional accelerometer signals to 4-20 mA data for use in existing PLC/DCS networks for condition trending, while still providing a buffered dynamic output for more extensive vibration analysis.
