GaN FETs Target the Next Generation of Electric Motor Drives

Electric motors are getting smaller, smarter and more ubiquitous in products ranging from robots and automotive actuators to aircraft systems, medical equipment and cordless power tools. The growth is driven by the need for higher power density, better efficiency, more accurate torque control and smaller size. These trends are opening opportunities for gallium nitride (GaN) power transistors in low- and medium-power motor drives.

Connected, Data-driven, and Human-led Industrial Automation

Manufacturers have always looked to automation to improve productivity. Today, however, automation is taking on a much larger role. Persistent workforce shortages, rising production costs, and supply chain uncertainty are pushing manufacturers to do more with the people, equipment, and resources they already have. At the same time, advances in artificial intelligence, industrial IoT devices, machine learning, and robotics are creating new opportunities to improve operations.

50 Years of Power Supplies: From the 50 Hz Transformer to Highly Efficient Industrial Power Supplies

Few components in industrial applications operate as unobtrusively yet play such a decisive role as the power supply. It forms the basis for stable processes, reliable automation, and high system availability. At the same time, the technology behind DC power supplies has changed fundamentally over the past five decades. Bernhard Erdl, founder and CEO of the PULS Group, has been developing and manufacturing power supplies for more than 50 years.

What Is Absence-of-Voltage Testing? Understanding NFPA 70E Requirements

An absence of voltage test is a required verification step that confirms electrical equipment is fully de-energized before a worker begins any maintenance or service. Under NFPA 70E, it is a mandatory part of establishing an electrically safe work condition.

Beyond the Hardware: Why AI Data Centers Need a Liquid-Cooling Strategy

As AI deployments drive rack densities beyond what conventional air cooling can efficiently support, more operators are introducing direct-to-chip liquid cooling, CDUs, and secondary coolant loops. But installing the equipment is only the first step. Long-term reliability also depends on how operators manage coolant health, monitor flow and temperature, detect leaks, maintain components, and coordinate…

PBUS @C-Level: Mark Burr-Lonnon Brings Europe’s TME to the U.S. Distribution Market

Mark Burr-Lonnon spent many years – and logged many miles — establishing Mansfield, TX-based distributor Mouser Electronics in Europe and Asia. Now, as CEO Americas and Global Executive Consultant for Poland-based TME Electronic Components, he’s introducing TME to the U.S. electronics market. TME is a family-owned distributor serving e-catalog-type (high-mix, low-volume) orders to engineers and buyers globally. Its competitors include DigiKey, Mouser and Farnell in the electronics space and RS, DigiKey, Mouser and Grainger in the automation and control space. TME can accommodate larger orders as needed, Burr-Lonnon said.

Which Fixing System Should You Specify for Your Potentiometer Knobs?

Every knob on a front panel is only as good as the joint holding it to the spindle. Get that joint wrong and you inherit a slow, steady list of problems, such as knobs that slip under load, indicator lines that drift out of register, assembly lines that take too long, and a warranty return because a knob parted company with the unit. In theory, none of this is complex. But in practice it’s the sort of detail that separates an elegant precise control from one that feels cheap. So it matters.

How to Plan AI-Ready Cooling for High-Density Racks: A Step-by-Step Guide for Data Center Engineers and Procurement Managers

Planning cooling for AI-ready, high-density rack deployments starts earlier than most teams expect. The decisions made in the planning phase determine whether your infrastructure holds up under AI workloads or becomes a bottleneck as density climbs: heat load per rack, cooling architecture, rack platform, power delivery, and monitoring. Traditional data center cooling was sized around average rack densities of 5 to 10 kW. Most facilities planned for that range, and room-level air cooling handled it well enough.

OT Cybersecurity at the Core of Smart Manufacturing

Manufacturers are operating in a more connected environment than ever before. That connectivity has driven gains in efficiency and visibility, but it has also introduced new risks. The 11th Annual State of Smart Manufacturing Report from Rockwell Automation lays this out clearly: 36 percent of respondents cite risk reduction as a top outcome of digital transformation, and nearly half (46 percent) report experiencing a cyber incident in the past year.
