SKF
offers expertise in lubrication systems under one brand
The SKF Group
has announced that as of July 1, 2009, all lubrication systems, engineered
solutions and services will be offered under the SKF brand only, instead of
as presently dual branded SKF VOGEL. This will result in direct access to
SKF’s complete range of products, solutions and services, as well as
providing a highly efficient service level, from initial consultation to
final delivery.
SKF
acquired Willy Vogel AG, an innovative and leading player in the world of
lubrication technology, in 2004. The acquisition was strategically important
to SKF’s objective of having a leading role in all its technology platforms.
It has enabled the Group to significantly strengthen its competitive
position across several technology areas on the international market.
Customers can now rely on standard lubrication systems, customised units and
complete solutions integrating bearings, lubrication and sealing.

Absolute Magnetic Rotary Encoders: an interesting White Paper
Magnetic rotary encoders
are tough, compact, reliable and relatively inexpensive. This makes them a
good choice for many harsh environments. However, most magnetic encoders are
single-turn devices: they simply measure position over one revolution. For
sophisticated motion control applications, multi-turn absolute encoders are
often useful, since these devices measure and report the absolute position
of the shaft without the need for expensive external gearing. This white
paper shows how one company has developed accurate, robust multi-turn
magnetic rotary encoders that can keep track of their absolute position,
even when movement occurs during power outages!
