Ruland Manufacturing has expanded its jaw coupling line to meet the demands of high-torque applications, now offering bore sizes up to 1-3/4 in or 45 mm and torque capacities of 2,655 in-lbs. (300 Nm). These new jaw couplings are designed for use in precision systems with high deceleration and acceleration curves, such as those found in semiconductor, solar, conveyor, and warehouse automation applications.

Applied Motion Products introduces the CPBD-A-C remote control module that connects to the back of the CSM34 Conveyor Smart Motor and can be mounted where conveyor operators can easily access it.

Nord’s industrial automation solutions include MaxxDrive industrial gear units, Unicase parallel shaft gear units, Unicase helical bevel gear units, IE3 – IE5+ high efficiency electric motors, and Nordac variable frequency drives. These solutions are engineered to work in unison for ultimate performance in demanding, heavy industrial environments.

Fortifi Food Processing Solutions ("Fortifi") has appointed Victor Nieto as executive vice president of lean transformation and growth effective May 1, 2024. Fortifi's unified platform of leading global brands and products transforms food processing and automation solutions.

Nordac On/On+ decentralized variable frequency drives are the latest electronic control innovations to be produced by global manufacturer, Nord Drivesystems. These VFDs have been engineered for the specific requirements of horizontal conveyor technology and feature integrated functions to optimize operation performance, an integrated Ethernet interface, full Plug-and-Play capability, and a compact design.

Nord Drivesystems is once again attending the International Production and Processing Expo (IPPE) to showcase their solutions for the poultry and meat processing industry. Nord’s modular product system includes compact gear units, high-efficiency electric motors, and precise, intelligent electronic controls with a variety of surface protection options. This year’s expo is taking place January 30 – February 1, 2024, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA.

Corrosive chemicals such as chlorine, acids, alkalis and solvents require special pumps to handle their corrosive properties. Centrifugal pumps are most often used and offer advantages during the production process particularly when operating with Stainless Steel ASK Couplings from Miki Pulley. 

The global geared motors and industrial gears (geared products) market was expected to generate $14.2 billion in revenues in 2023, a slight decrease of 0.7 percent from 2022. However, over the next five years we anticipate the market will resume a steady growth trajectory following a further dip in 2024.

Nord Drivesystems will present its large range of innovative drives for mechanical engineering at FMB 2023, from November 8-10,2023 in the exhibition center in Bad Salzuflen. In Hall 20, stand D4, the presentation’s focus will be on the IE5+ synchronous motors and the decentralized Nordac On+ frequency inverters.

 Stock Drive Products/Sterling Instrument (SDP/SI) recently announced that they will be manufacturing specialized precision components for a new locking system in support of the U.S. Postal Service’s initiative in preventing the theft of mail.
