Are Your Critical Assets Keeping You up at Night?
Many facilities around the world operate under Reactive Maintenance or Run-to-Failure Scenarios. In this strategy, we wait for the asset to fail then either fix or replace the equipment, costing significant downtime due to unpreparedness.
Signal Conditioning Devices with PR Electronics
PR Electronics designs and produces signal conditioning (interface) devices for the process and factory automation industries within temperature, intrinsically safe (I.S.) interfaces, panel meters, signal isolators and converters. They specialize in making industrial process control safer, more reliable, and more efficient.
Advantages of Rollon Actuators
Rollon linear actuators with different guide configurations and drives, available with belt, screw or rack and pinion drives according to different needs in terms of precision and speed. Guides with bearings or ball recirculating systems for different load capacities and critical environments. A couple of the highlighted items are:
Advantages of Rollon Compact Rail
Compact Rail linear guides feature a robust steel slider with ball bearings, self-centering heads with wipers, longitudinal seals to protect the internal components and a top sealing strip. The slider body is accurately finished with matte longitudinal edge chamfer and a shining ground flat surface. The slider heads are equipped with special slow release felt pads and are free to rotate with respect to the slider body, so that the felts are always in contact with the raceways to ensure optimal lubrication. The felts can be greased through a dedicated oil refilling access on the front of the head, simply by means of a syringe oiler.
