Parker Hannifin: Why Right Sizing Matters




This year The Standards Council of Canada made updates to the CSA standards, concerning ‘CSA C392:20: Testing of three-phase squirrel cage induction motors during refurbishment’.
September 30, 2025 Cloud computing and edge computing are reshaping how industrial organizations manage connected devices, analyze data, and maintain operations. While both architectures process and store data, they differ significantly in where that processing occurs—centrally in the cloud or locally at the edge. Understanding these differences is critical for companies evaluating strategies for predictive…

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are one of the main components of any automated system. A typical control system has inputs, outputs, controllers (i.e., PLCs), and some type of human interaction with the system, a human machine interface (HMI), for example.
November 14, 2025 In brushless DC motor design, the geometry of the stator and rotor directly determines how torque, efficiency, and smoothness are achieved. Two of the most common configurations are slotted and slotless brushless DC motors. Both are widely used in precision motion control, robotics, and mechatronic systems, but they differ substantially in electromagnetic… Read More…
