Several M12 connector series from binder are available in versions for surface mount technology (SMT). On the one hand, they are advantageous for integration into space-critical designs, on the other hand, the good automation capability in further processing offers enormous savings potential.
The newly added features, coupled with the On-Machine™ capability, provide a significant boost in functionality and performance for applications within demanding industrial environments.
The Fraunhofer IPMS, Dresden and the Max Planck Institute for Microstructure Physics, Halle, are collaborating on innovative spin-based memory and logic components that operate at low temperatures.
NSK is developing a world-first: a high-accuracy way of rapidly and accurately diagnosing the remaining life of lubricant grease. The company will provide the solution as a mobile app, enabling users to perform the on-site analysis of lubricant condition in bearings and linear motion systems. This innovative capability will reduce the need for grease inspection and replenishment costs, and help companies implement condition-based maintenance strategies. NSK’s is currently seeking customer input and feedback ahead of launching its new app.
