By Chris Landis Put advancements in pneumatic valves to work for your organization Pneumatic valves have come a long way since the development of the compressor over a century ago. Starting with large manual and mechanical valves, they migrated to individually wired electric solenoids and ultimately ended up with plug-into-the-base electronics allowing for a single multi-pin connector or fieldbus installation. Today's valves are smaller, faster and more advanced than their predecessors and offer many advantages that can be easily overlooked. With advancements in ISO valve standardization, collective wiring solutions and diagnostic capabilities, both end users and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are seeing significant cost reductions resulting from multi-vendor support, wiring simplification and decreased machine downtime.

In today’s marketplace, the need for speed, precision and small size are not only dictating the standard for shaft locking devices but also challenging motion component manufacturers to evaluate methods of keyless shaft locking for dynamic loads. Motor and drive manufacturers are making products in smaller and smaller packages which are increasingly capable of rapid acceleration and rotary positioning accuracy. These industry changes are causing backlash, stress distribution and balance to all be addressed in shaft locking devises, in many cases rending the shaft key obsolete...
