Has anyone ever had any experience using these actuators. It seems as though they may be great for low constant force applications. I am going to be looking into them as a means to provide 0-30 lbs of force. The lower range of the force is often where other electric actuators seem to have...
Following artical 409 is a good start, it will point you in the right direction. Not all the states have adopted the latest NEC version, there are a number still following NEC2002 and older. Article 409 is a new section to address industrial power controls and basically pulls together all those...
Thanks for the link, it's interesting that the UK website have more transducers listed than the US website. I often find this to be true of several overseas suppliers.
I am looking for a pressure tranducer to measure fluid pressure thru a nozzle. It is used as part of a viscometer measurement. The orientation of the nozzle is such that the operating pressure is between -1 PSIG to +2 PSIG. We are currently using a 0 - 15PSIG (4-20ma) pressure transducer however...
I haven't worked with these in a while, but I thought the 314 PLC just had 1 MPI port to connect with the PLC and download/upload and troubleshoot programs. It sound like there are 2 ports on yours, is that true?
The best way to look at any PLC program is to have the development environment. Step 7 PLC files are contained in a directory with several subfolders and files. You have to have the development environment to see the files. In addition to this, it is always best to have the PLC program on a disk...
Thanks for the input, I will be looking into the linear actuators as long as I can get them down to the physical dimensions that are required. They have definitely come a long way....
We are currently working on a low force application that would require 0 lbs to 30 lbs of force applied to a part. The system will be mounted vertically. The currect design utilizes a pneumatic cylinder with tooling attached. We utilized two electronic pressure regulators (SMC) to regulate the...
