Power Transmission App

The Power Transmission (PT) app for iOS devices offers users one source for all bearings-related information needs. The PT mobile app features a registration module to allow users to register bearings and receive a 12-month extension of the company’s standard limited warranty. Once registered, users can utilize the app to schedule maintenance and enjoy an easy-to-use, low-cost asset management tool that is conveniently located in the palm of one’s hand. Other modules in the app allow users to access bearing product details and installation instructions to help with their daily course of work. A smart bearing interchange tool can be used to swap competitive designs to Regal bearings products. Additional features are included to help simplify daily tasks.

AC Servo Motors

The MELSERVO-J5 Series of AC servo motors, amplifiers and motion control units brings performance, re- liability, flexibility and efficiency to a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, packaging, printing, converting, material handling and more. New to the MELSERVO-J5 Series is the quick tuning function that allows users to quickly and reliably tune their servo mechanism in approximately 0.3 sec. The servo amplifier sets the speed loop gain and suppresses machine resonance through the servo on command. No tuning experience is required because gain values are automatically generated, reducing machine setup time and effort. Additional functions and features include an advanced vibration suppression function, multi axes servo amplifiers and expanded predictive maintenance capabilities.

Gas Pressure Regulators 

The Type 1227 and Type 1230 high flow gas pressure regulators are direct-operated, pressure-reducing regulators suitable for use with compressed air, natural gas or an assortment of other inert gases. These gas pressure regulators help maintain consistent inlet pressure to downstream equipment, allowing for the accurate control of distribution system pressures.

The Type 1227 is available with outlet ranges that span from 5 psi up to 150 psi and can be ordered with a variety of orifice sizes and materials, providing application flexibility in the oil and gas industries. The Type 1230 Pressure Regulator utilizes a similar design to the Type 1227 but provides a much broader offering of output pressure ranges and valve disk materials.

Thermoelectric Cooler

The UltraTEC UTX Series thermoelectric cooler offers a heat pumping capacity of up to 296 watts with a maximum temperature differential (Delta T) of 72°C. The UTX series is ideal for spot cooling applications with industrial lasers, laser projectors, medical diagnostic systems and analytical instrumentation. The UltraTEC UTX Series is assembled with advanced thermoelectric materials for higher heat pumping capacity and features a higher thermal insulating barrier when compared to standard materials. In tests, the cooler has measured up to 10% improvement in cooling capacity and more than 3°C in improved temperature differential.
