Parker Hannifin: Why Right Sizing Matters




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…
The main requirement when retrofitting the points controllers for the urban railway and trams in several of Poland’s major cities was safety and reliability. That’s because the control systems in use were obsolete and sensitive to temperature variations. In many places, points could only be passed at 10 km/h, which prevented attractive, clock-face scheduling. The Polish company ZUE S.A. is an expert in the field of modernizing rail infrastructure and took charge of modernization.
“Enormous Opportunities, Many of Which We Are Still Completely Unaware Of” July 4, 2023 Whether in production, assembly, material handling or logistics, industrial automation is being integrated into more and more processes across all industries and areas of business and it’s changing them from the bottom up. Cables and wires are like a nervous system….
Harting Canada held their annual trade media luncheon in Toronto this past month to provide insight into the company’s direction moving into the next fiscal year. The event provided Panel Builder & Systems Integrator a fantastic opportunity to sit down with Carl Maalouf, the Canadian Director of Sales for Harting Canada, as well as Territory Sales Manager, Peter Hanna.
November 6, 2023 By Rick Farrell, President, PlantTours In plant operations, the margin for error is notoriously slim. The smallest oversight, a single misinterpreted instruction, or an unnoticed alert can be the difference between smooth operations and catastrophic failures. While advanced technologies and protocols play an undeniable part in ensuring safety, the bedrock upon which…
January 7, 2025 As industries embrace evolving technologies and the need for efficient space utilization, compact enclosures are taking centre stage. These smaller, space-saving units prove that when it comes to industrial automation, bigger isn’t always better. Combining adaptability, efficiency, and robust protection, compact enclosures are redefining modern production setups. In this article, Rittal explores…

Weidmüller’s scalable engineering software, u-control 2000, adapts individually to your requirements. And, the u-control is powerful, compact and fully compatible with Weidmüller’s I/O system u-remote. This article looks at what makes u-control the heart of your automation.
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.

December 1, 2025 By Krystie Johnston Pneumatic cylinders are the workhorses of industrial automation. They convert compressed air into linear motion, enabling tasks like clamping, gripping, holding, lifting, pushing, and pulling – tasks inherent to production lines and robotics. When these components go down, it can cause significant impacts on production. Avoid these negative consequences… Read More…
