Linear technology made easy

Ready-to-install inear Units
item Industrietechnik

Preassembled, coordinated and ready for use – you save lots of time on designing and commissioning, meaning your bespoke linear technology solution is ready faster. Just customise the stroke length, place your order and get started – it really is that easy! Linear Units from item are delivered ready to install, with the drive included.
Nordic nRF54LM20‑DK

Nordic nRF54LM20‑DK

Multiprotocol 2.4GHz development kit
Mouser Electronics

Affordable kit for the nRF54LM20A SoC (128MHz Arm Cortex‑M33, 2MB NVM/512KB RAM, high‑speed USB) supporting Bluetooth LE, Thread, Zigbee, Matter and more. Available at Mouser.
Edge Rate® 0.80 mm Pitch

Edge Rate® 0.80 mm Pitch

Fine-Pitch Interconnects for Factory Automation
TTI

Samtec Edge Rate® connectors deliver high-density, high-speed performance with a rugged design for smart factory and industrial environments. Engineered for high-cycle reliability, they feature an optimized Edge Rate contact system, up to 1.5mm contact wipe, and configurations from 20 to 200 positions with pitches down to 0.80mm.
WHY USE A TORQUE LIMITER

WHY USE A TORQUE LIMITER

Function, advantages and applications
Comintec

The torque limiter is a mechanical device that automatically disengages when the transmitted torque exceeds a preset value, for example due to jams, impacts, or sudden load changes, thus preventing damages.

ComInTec offers CUSTOMIZED couplings and torque limiters to satisfy the most challenging demands in every industrial sector.
Industry-Ready Camera and Illumination Units

Industry-Ready Camera and Illumination Units

Beckhoff automation

Beckhoff’s Vision Unit Illuminated (VUI) is a compact unit comprising a camera, illumination, and focusable optics complete with liquid lens technology. The series has now been expanded to include 16 devices with new image sensors as well as crossed polarizing filters.

Modular Ultra Miniature Absolute Encoder

Modular Ultra Miniature Absolute Encoder

Lika Electronic

Lika Electronic’s SMAR4 absolute modular encoder is remarkably small: the PCB readhead is one of the smallest on the market and measures only a few millimeters. The SMAR4 combines an open PCB readhead with the MRA and RMU magnetic rings with axial or radial magnetization in a very compact assembly.
