Monitran, a world leader in the development and manufacture of sensors for the measurement of vibration and displacement, has launched the VS0004, a complete condition monitoring and alarm module.

Fixed to a piece of plant machinery, the VS0004 can respond to a rise in vibration levels in a number of user-definable ways. The unit has two alarm levels, with the user able to set Alarm 1 between 1 and 50mm/s and with Alarm 2 capable of being set as a multiple of Alarm 1, either 1.5, 2, 3 or 5x.

Rolls-Royce has been highly satisfied with the use of lubricants made by Klüber for their low-pressure hydraulic motors for deck machinery, and consequently recommends them to their customers: The Klüber product GRAFLOSCON B-SG 00 Ultra is to be used for running in the tooth flanks, while Klüberfluid C-F 3 Ultra is recommended for subsequent operational lubrication.

The adhesive lubricants developed for open gears by Klüber Lubrication meet the demanding requirements of anchor handling winches and have proven successful on such vessels for many years. A further benefit is that the company offers a comprehensive range of priming, running-in, operating and repair lubricants. Klüberfluid, for example, is a series of highly viscous, transparent adhesive lubricants enabling a long component life by protecting tooth flanks reliably against wear and corrosion. The fluids' good adhesion and specific formulation make for long relubrication intervals and hence a tangible reduction of operating costs.

Moreover, disposal of these lubricants after use is unproblematic since they are free of bitumen, heavy metals, solvents or chlorine. Also, the quantity of Klüberfluid required for reliable lubrication is up to 50 percent lower than with operating lubricants containing graphite. All this results in considerably lower costs for the user, based on the products' high efficiency, eco-friendliness and the lower disposal costs.

By introducing new digital functionality to its belt alignment and tensioning instruments, FAG Industrial Services has made its SMARTY2 and TRUMMY2 devices even more accurate and easier to use.

The innovative Medbac breathing air control system (Medical Breathing Air Control) protects patients against impure compressed air and complies with the monitoring requirements of "Aer medicalis".

A stay in hospital can be a worrying experience. Many people find it particularly hard to depend on technical systems, such as the breathing air supply in an operating room or intensive care unit. The demands on the operation of the life-saving systems are correspondingly high. Therefore, the "European Pharmacopoeia" stipulates exact limit values for the composition of the so-called "Aer medicalis", meaning the compressed air which, in Medicine, is applied as breathing air.

MedBAC from Beko is a compressed air monitoring system which constanly observes the content and delivery of medical compressed air.
