Elesa Industrial Castor Withstands Heavy Loads

Elesa's industrial-castor range now incorporates the RE.F5, a heavy-duty variant for light, medium and heavy loads over 750kg. It is suitable for tiles, asphalt and cement/resin floors where its rugged die-cast aluminium wheels, roller-bearing axle and 95 Shore A polyurethane wheels provide high performance and low roll resistance.

Applications are likely to include trolleys, machinery and other mobile equipment in all types of industrial environments, including production, machining, transport, distribution and storage. The RE.F5 series of castors feature fixed-plate, swivel-plate and total-lock-swivel chassis where the swivel mechanism incorporates a dual ball race for minimal turn loads at low speeds. Standard rugged chassis construction is of zinc-plated steel, ensuring smooth performance with a high degree of longevity within its -20deg to 80C operating range.

Other design features include optimal dimensions, which ensure the RE.F5 occupies minimal space with greatest ease of activation. Sizes available range from 80 to 200mm (d) wheels with dynamic-load capacities up to 7,500N for complete castors.

Kepco BOP Models For Driving Inductive Loads

Kepco has announced the availability of its 200W and 400W bipolar operational power supply (BOP) models optimised for driving inductive loads. The modified BOP units are designed to operate in a stable manner in current or current limit mode for loads up to 1 Henry. They are also stable with any R-L series load combination.

All specifications of the unit in voltage mode are unchanged from the standard model. In current mode the bandwidth of the BOP is reduced modestly. Correspondingly, the rise-and-fall time of the unit is increased (model dependent). Further, it is possible to reduce the bandwidth in current mode, in a predictable way, using one customer-installed component on the rear programming connector of the BOP.

This option makes the BOP more suitable for a variety of applications such as motor testing, testing of magnetic components (coils, speakers, and so on), industrial applications with inductive loads, driving CRT coils, cryogenic applications and powering correcting magnets for medical imaging applications or particle accelerators.
