harsh environments.
The new Shaft IncOders are available in low-profile, 58mm diameter formats offering unprecedented resilience to shock, vibration,
dirt, fluids, high pressures and extreme temperatures.
"Optical encoders remain the most common form of encoder but
they are unreliable in some of the tough environments that many
applications demand. IncOders use proven inductive technology
that's been hardened in some of the world's most demanding applications - from the deepest oceans to outer space" says Mark
Howard, Zettlex General Manager.

L3 Electron Devices Introduces New 1.2-Megawatt
RF Power Amplifier
L3 Electron Devices has announced the introduction of its new
1.2-megawatt (MW) Multi-Beam Inductive Output Tube (MBIOT)
amplifier (Model L6200). The L6200 MBIOT is both a reliable and
cost-effective amplifier solution for a variety of advanced scientific
research applications, including particle accelerators and other
high- power UHF frequency range projects.

focused MBIOT capable of producing a maximum RF output of
1.2 MW at 704.42 MHz while maintaining high efficiency at lower
output power levels.
