Motion & Control Industry Awards – August call for nominations • Project of the Year • System Integrator of the Year • Manufacturer of the Year • Distributor of the Year • Training Initiative of the Year • Young Engineer of the Year • Lifetime Achievement Award.
The Motion & Control Industry Awards.
The call for nominations for the Motion & Control Industry Awards will open in August. This is the first time the awards have been presented, and they acknowledge business and professional excellence across the entire motion engineering and automation industry in the
key areas of manufacture and supply including, innovation and achievement, energy saving, sales growth, customer care and employee motivation. There are nine main categories: • Technical Innovation of the Year • Environmental/Energy Efficiency
The deadline for all entries and nominations is Friday 2 December 2011, and the judging panel will convene in late December to review all the entries and select the finalists in each category. Parties will then be invited to vote for which entry they believe should be the outright winner in each case.
The awards ceremony will take place on the evening of 17 April 2012 at the St Johns Hotel in Solihull, UK. This event will correspond with the first day of the MACH, Drives & Controls, Air-tech, Plant & Asset Management and International Fluid Power Exhibitions, being held in Birmingham from 17–19 April. To nominate a company or person, visit the the awards website at www.motioncontrolawards.co.uk and complete the online entry form which will be available from the 1 August. www.motioncontrolawards.co.uk
Digitally-controlled series High pressure relief valve boosts energy-efficiency for critical applications and is compliant to UL, CE standards. The drive and control units are sealed separately to an IP65 enclosure.
Iwaki’s new range of diaphragm pumps.
Iwaki America has developed a range of energy-efficient digitally controlled, direct-drive diaphragm pumps. The IX Series uses helical gears and spring assistance through which power consumption is reduced by 70% compared to the standard spring back design, the company says. The pumps feature a wide turndown ratio control motor which adjusts the discharge and suction speeds to meet a wide turndown ratio of 750:1 from 200 mL/hr to 150 L/hr. It has multivoltage operation (100-240 VAC) which is compatible worldwide

All models have a diaphragm rupture detector and a detector for abnormal operation which protects the pipework in case of an accidental high discharge pressure caused by clogging or improper operation. The valve design only allows assembly in the correct orientation and a drain hole also ensures safe operation even when the diaphragm is damaged.
Lee Products, a UK producer of fluid control components has developed a high pressure relief valve designed for flow control applications that require a high relief pressure and a high flow. The Lee Hi-Q valve is capable of relief pressures up to 5400 psid and flow rates over 19 gpm and so is suitable for critical flow applications. These include aero engine fuel pumps, aircraft flight controls, Formula 1 or rally cars as well as oil tool applications.
The range handles a maximum viscosity of a 1000 cps and a liquid temperature range: 0-50°C (TC, TE type), 0-80°C (S6 type). The indoor operating temperature range is 0-50°C and the maximum dry suction lift is 6.5 ft (2 m). The IX Series is suitable for automated chemical delivery in industries including water treatment to chemical process but it is also suitable for other dosing applications and can reportedly handle virtually any chemical. www.iwakiamerica.com
Lee Products’ high pressure relief valve.
The valve includes a side inlet flow path which helps to minimise the installation boss size and weight. It measures 98.5 mm length x 23 mm diameter and weighs 200 grams. The Hi-Q valve is available in a range of cracking pressures, which range from 1000 up to 5400 psid. The valve is designed for nominal system pressures up to 5000 psi and system peak pressures up to 6750 psi. www.leeproducts.co.uk
