PRODUCTS Highly Sensitive Dust Monitor The DT450G dust monitor from Yokogawa detects the qualitative level of dust or particulate matter by using the principle of inductive electrification. This probe provides a highly sensitive measurement and is capable of detecting particles as small as 0.3 µm. Utilization of inductive electrification allows for detection of not only particles which make contact with the probe, but particles which pass by the probe as well. The signal generated by these particles is processed by advanced noise filtering algorithms, resulting in a highly accurate dust measurement. Yokogawa Corporation of America yokogawa.com/us Easy-to-Use Voltage/ Continuity Testers Milwaukee Tool has expanded its Test & Measurement portfolio with two new Auto Voltage/Continuity Testers. Combining the simplicity of a traditional voltage/continuity tester with the digital read-out capabilities of higher-functionality meters, they let users accurately troubleshoot common electrical issues with ease in increasingly diverse electrical systems. The testers deliver measurements down to the decimal, and display them on easy-to-read LCD screens. With their built-in intelligence, the devices automatically determine whether to test for voltage or continuity, and also identify AC or DC voltage. Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp. milwaukeetool.com Versatile Valve-Actuation Tool Smith Flow Control's EasiDrive portable valve actuator is designed for use with valves requiring a large number of turns or which are otherwise difficult to operate because of high torque or harsh climate conditions. One person can drive multiple valves with a single tool, reducing fatigue and risk of injury and resulting in major cost and time savings. According to the company, it can be used in multiple industries including oil refineries, petrochemical plants, power stations and paper mills. Smith Flow Control, Ltd. smithﬂowcontrol.com High-Protection Cable and Hose Carriers According to the U.S. Tsubaki Power Transmission, its TKA Series Cable Carriers are especially tight, which allows them to better protect cables from dirt, chips and circulating spray water and prevent the ingress of coolants and lubricants. With their enclosed stroke system and pin-hole joint, even large amounts of atomized oil and flying particles no longer pose a problem during cleaning of the work area. This level of protection for the installed cables into the connection area has been tested and confirmed in line with IP54 protection ratings. U.S. Tsubaki says the new cable carrier is the only one in the world to comply with this high-protection rating. All TKA carriers are also available in extreme-heat-resistant versions that incorporate special material to protect cables against damage, e.g. from chips with temperatures up to 850 C.
