Infrared cartridge options
Honeywell Analytics, Lincolnshire, Ill.

The company has added infrared cartridge options to its multigas Lumidor Impact Pro IR portable gas detector. One of three IR sensors can be chosen as one of the four sensors that come standard in a four-sensor, multigas cartridge. Two IR sensors monitor for methane and other hydrocarbons, while a third sensor option measures for percentage volume of carbon dioxide. The cartridge also measures for oxygen levels and for a range of user-selected toxic gases, including carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. Honeywell Analytics developed the infrared sensors for advanced detection of flammable and toxic gases in demanding industrial settings.

Temper- ature trans- mitters
Omega Engineering Inc., Stamford, Conn.
The company offers two versatile temperature transmitters. The TX33 (priced at $95) with loop-powered RTD input is analog, non-isolated with a 2-wire head-mount that converts the RTD into a proportional, linear, and highly accurate output current. It has easy calibration and low temperature drift. The TX31 ($185) is an analog, isolated miniature transmitter with isolated 2-wire head-mount that converts thermocouple input to the voltage. With an ultra-low profile design in cast aluminum housing, this sensor has long-term stability. Both are multirange selectable and are useful in process control, automation systems, energy source management, oil applications, paint and spray painting and equipment maintenance in the transportation, petroleum, construction, and national defense industries.

Intelligent motor
Animatics Corp., Santa Clara, Calif.

SmartMotor has an eight-pole compact rotor design with more copper filling factor than in conventional designs. According to the company, the new design achieves a higher energy density as well as better efficiency that results in more torque capacity in the same physical package size. The SM2315DT has high continuous and peak output torques. It delivers as much as 112 oz.-in. of peak torque while maintaining as much as 57 oz.-in. of continuous torque with a maximum speed capability of 4,700 rpm.
