Weidmuller’s M12 Push-Pull distributors simplify applications in machine construction, automation and intralogistics by bundling the wiring of sensors and actuators in an IP67 environment. It combines signals and power supply via M12 sockets and drives them via an M23 collective output. Thanks to innovative quick-connect contours for M12 sockets and the M23 collective outlet, it enables fast and secure connections. Whereas the standard M12 system requires the sleeves to be laboriously screwed on and that operation is hindered by the vibration guard, M12 Push-Pull works with one click, just like those well-known garden hose systems. The audible locking function guarantees a safe and reliable connection as well as a good seal. The new SAI M12 Push-Pull distributors can be used with M12 plug-in connectors but also with the new M12 Push-Pull plug-in connectors.

Advanced Motion Controls is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.
Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions.
