handheld shaker quickly and easily checks
operation and set-up of accelerometers and
velocity sensors to ensure confidence in the
entire measurement chain before beginning
expensive tests and calibration. Also available
in a ruggedized version, it is ideal for verifying
the operation of sensors monitoring industrial
rotating machinery.
A built-in reference accelerometer assures
that a 1 g test level is maintained for sensors
weighing up to 250 grams. The three
selectable frequencies of 61.4 Hz, 100Hz and
159.2 Hz allow for easy conversion to metric
and imperial velocity units.

Cables for prototype
construction
Especially for the cable equipment of
prototypes and small batch series, SAB
Bröckskes, the specialist in cable production
offers highest support.
Connection cables for the visible areas
of devices are a special challenge for the
prototype and small series production.
Individual requirements regarding numbers of
cores, outer diameter, sheath colour and grip
shall be fulfilled. Nevertheless, for such small
quantities only huge lengths are available.
Also the especially designed colour of the
device is rarely to be found with stored cables .
Remedy of single parameters often lead to
high remainders which generally can´t be used
any more.
Especially in this range a unique support is
offered.

Middlesex Aerospace engineers substantial
energy savings with Goodlight LED lighting
Award winning brand, Goodlight, have announced that Middlesex
Aerospace, a leader and strategic manufacturer of aerospace
engineering components has made between 50-80% energy savings
following the replacement of their old fluorescent lighting with energy
efficient, low maintenance LED tube lighting from the Goodlight
range. Payback on the installation is on target and expected to be
achieved within 18 months. The company adopted Goodlight LED
lighting to meet their commitment towards ISO14001.
Installation of the LED lights was carried out over the weekends
to limit the impact on production times and reduce disruption for
staff. Middlesex Aerospace specified Goodlight GX1 Plus (150W) LED
High Bays, G5 LED Battens, T8 LED Tubes and LED Ceiling Panels for
their main production factory and inspection area at the 50,000 sq ft
manufacturing site in Hampshire, replacing energy hungry fluorescent
lighting.
Goodlight LED lighting technology offers more efficient light at
lower cost and reaches full brightness instantly with no warm-up
required. The lights are specifically designed for retrofit applications
and can be quickly and easily installed into existing fixtures. They
provide immediate energy savings and are virtually maintenance free.
Goodlight LED products are guaranteed for five years and rated at
50,000 hours.
