ENGINEERING LITERATURE Dirak launches new global website Dirak has introduced a new global website, representing a dramatic improvement in content, appearance, and navigation to the previous site. The new website has been designed in direct response to Dirak’s customer research. The result is a customerdriven site, created from an in-depth understanding of what customers require from a global, technical website. The new website features two platforms. A SuperStructure site serves as a corporate portal for the Dirak Group allowing users to select their local regions and highlighting corporate news and events. The individual Country Sites feature strong product and technical information in the local language with region-specific content. Check it out at ....................................www.dirak.com Guides for your book shelf and the latest brochures Every month, your hard working Industrial Technology team brings you the best of the latest industry guides, the most interesting catalogues, and news of important updates to supplier web sites When you’re designing new products, how much thought do you give to the fact that many of the users of that product might be either elderly or disabled? Well, a new guide is now available to help you ensure that the ICT systems you design and manufacture are more useable by these groups. A wide range of application areas and technologies are covered - from household appliances and transport to biometrics and information displays. The information contained in the Guidelines document, and more in-depth detail, can be found at www.tiresias.org/guidelines. Tiresias, which is the RNIB scientific research unit’s website, also offers in-depth information on more than 2,000 devices, some 1,000 agencies for blind and partially sighted people, current and future research across 33 countries, and more than 100 scientific and technological reports on topics ranging from smart cards and biometrics to Braille and tactile data. Dr John Gill, Chief Scientist at the RNIB, who produced the Guidelines, said that the greater enjoyment of life of people with disabilities and older people lay in the hands of our engineers and technicians. “They are the people who design and make ICT systems and we urge them to look at the recommendations contained in Guidelines and to give some thought on how greater improvements can be made,” he said. “The need to do so grows apace as, added to the several millions of Britons with disabilities, we have to help the increasing number of older people.” Want a copy? ...............www.tireias.org/guidelines Control solutions Feteris Components Feteris has produced a new overview brochure on its range of industrial sensors and HMI components, all conforming to the highest technical standards and sourced from worldleading manufacturers. The brochure covers potentiometers, displacement sensors, inclinometers, angular rate sensors, pressure sensors, load cells, strain gauges, joysticks, foot pedals and trackballs. Key markets include machinery, equipment, ship building and medical devices. Electric motors Baldor Baldor has published its first catalogue of stocked electric motor products following its acquisition of Reliance. This heavyweight 580-page volume details thousands of Baldor Reliance motor choices including premium efficiency, severe duty and explosion proof, washdown, DC, vector and brake, plus many application-specific types including pump, HVAC and farm duty. Power ranges for stocked lines extend from 0.015 to 750 kW. Sealing rings IEC This new brochure from IEC covers the Fey range of laminar sealing rings and retaining rings, suited to a range of applications including roller bearings, wheel set bearings for rolling stock, continuous casting plants, transmission systems, power systems, and many others. The Fey laminar rings can be used as external or internal ring sets, as well as combined in one groove, as a result, the increased deflection optimises the seal. Fastening systems Spirol Everything you could want to know about fastener automation is contained on a new CD guide from Spirol. The company offers a range of equipment for fast and reliable fastener installation and parts feeding of pins, compression limiters, bushings and inserts. Full details of these products and the company’s engineering services can be found on the CD. You’ll also find intuitive video guides for each product range. Shaft guidance Schaeffler UK A free, 175-page reference guide to shaft guidance systems, including linear bearings, shaft support blocks, rail guidance units and housing units, is now available from Schaeffler UK. As well as providing technical data on individual products, the ‘Shaft Guidance Systems’ catalogue also includes useful information on load carrying capacities, friction, lubrication, design of bearing arrangements, and much more.
