Elesa (UK) Ltd

Elesa are delighted at the new arrival of a wire rope series to their otherwise rubber-based vibration damper family of mounts and buffers, used throughout industry for isolation of equipment where vibration is a major issue. The new AVC series incorporates AISI 316 stainless steel wound into helical loops where the spring damping function is derived from innate elastic and friction properties of the rope construction. This allows a high range of deformation suitable for use in mounting of gensets, robotic mounts, stabilising platforms e.g. for cameras and liquids. Other applications include mounting of electrical cabinets, HVAC, transport platforms, marine equipment, power systems, pumps, desalination, rail, naval, military, marine oil and research platform equipment.
 
The AVC series may be mounted in horizontal or vertical orientation and as they are manufactured in stainless steel they can be used in a wide range of temperatures and environments. Their high range of deformation in comparison to other materials is coupled with the level of resistance to age and atmospheric conditions we would expect from stainless steel. They are excellent for shock attenuation as they operate with low natural frequencies to give a fast damping effect which is resistant to fatigue and are maintenance free.
 
Wire rope mounts/isolators in the AVC series offer a very cost effective, long term solution in load capacities from 50N to 3000N without the need for regular maintenance or replacement.
 

The new Elesa  MPI-R10 magnetic measuring system in IP54 or IP67 housing provides seven-digit remote readout of linear or angular measurements. Offering a solution which benefits the operative to manage equipment safely, accurately and quickly without the need to personally access the materials or the measuring head. Whilst providing an accuracy of +/- 0.1mm and a resolution of 0.01mm, it is suitable for use in many sectors and industries. The MPI-R10 magnetic measuring system has proven useful across machining, cutting, assembly and positioning for woodwork, alongside other industries for structural component assembly, such as building fabrication, production of frames and more. Ideal for situations in which contact isn’t advisable or where dirt, dust or swarf may interfere with other measuring equipment. 
 
The MPI-R10 magnetic measuring system is used with an  FC-MPI sensor in combination with an  M-BAND-10 magnetic strip to form a complete system for the measurement of linear and angular displacement (with a minimum radius of 65 mm). The system is characterised by an extremely easy assembly and offers precise alignment and positioning, reducing time and keeping machining cycle times to the minimum.
 
Maximum ease of assembly and disassembly is complimented with 4 multifunction keys for easy programming to display values in millimetres, inches or angular degrees as absolute or incremental readings. The MPI-R10 provides up to 10 programmable offset values with storage and display of 32 target positions. The display is housed with a polycarbonate front plate resistant to greases, oils, alcohol and mineral acids.
 
The FC-MPI magnetic sensor with cable features a die-cast zinc alloy nickel-plated body and snap assembly cable connector, which facilitates insertion and guarantees correct connection even in the presence of vibration or accidental movement. Measurement is facilitated by a self-adhesive M-BAND-10 strip for attachment to the machine base.
