PRODUCT OF THE MONTH
n DC/DC Converter
2022 Product of the Year
Finalist
A series of high isolation 6 W DC/DC converters suitable for medical applications is available from
Cosel, Tokyo, Japan. Packaged in a single in line (SIP) type 8, the MH6 series has a reinforce isolation of
3k VAC, 4.2k VDC, and complies with medical isolation standard (2MOOP - 250 VAC working voltage).
Three input voltages (4.5-18; 9-36, and 18-76 V) and a large variety of single (MHFS6) and dual output
(MHFW6) options cover a large range of applications. The series has only 20 pF max insulation capacitance,
thus reducing noise transfer. It has built-in overcurrent protection circuit, with automatic recovery.
A remote control pin operating as negative logic (L:ON, H:OFF) is available.

Product Focus: Pumps/Valves
n Mass Flow Controller
High-performance mass flow controllers and
meters are available from Sensirion, Stafa, Switzerland.
The SFC5500 mass flow controllers are calibrated
for multiple gases and come with push-in
fittings, which can be easily swapped out from a list
of compatible parts. They are available in ranges
from 50 sccm to 200 slm. The SFM5500 is a valveless version. The
pressure- resistant mass flow meters are available in four flow ranges: 50
sccm, 0.5 slm, 2 slm, and 10 slm. The sensor is based on the microthermal
measurement principle and uses the company's CMOSens®
MEMS technology. The mass flow controllers/meters are suitable for
applications such as gas mixing in medical instruments.

n Smart Pipette
Festo, Islandia, NY, has developed a closed-loop
smart-pipette for automated, high-speed dispensing
systems. The new DHOP smart pipette with DHAP
low-force-tip family is designed for automated pipette
applications where precision, validation, and process
monitoring are needed. The DHOP's three pressure
sensors validate the performance of every dispense.
Sensor data can be used to track dispense volumes
and fluid characteristics. The pipettes can alert to clogged tips and
sense liquid levels. The DHOP closed-loop technology and the
DHOE open-loop pipette is based on pressure over liquid technology.
It allows the operator to program in engineering units (μl, ml),
and the pipette accurately and repeatably dispenses that volume
utilizing multiple pressure and temperature sensors and sophisticated
software feedback.

n Stretchable Film
A stretchable film from Toray, Tokyo,
Japan, builds on the company's technology
to deliver circuit mounts that offer
exceptional resistance value stability.
REACTIS™ is designed to provide excellent
shape recovery and heat resistance. The stretchable film uses a
proprietary polymer structure design and film-forming technique that
combines cross-linked and stretchable components. The flexible film
recovers its shape between -20° and 80 °C. It also maintains heat resistance
even after treatment at 200 °C.

n Media Isolation Valve
A solenoid-operated device from
Clippard, Cincinnati, OH, uses a flexible
diaphragm to isolate the actuation
mechanism from the fluid path.
All wetted areas of the NIV Series media
isolation valve are either PEEK or
PTFE, making this series ideal for use with corrosive media. A
unique feature of the series is the one-piece valve stem that functions
as a sealing membrane while also supporting and centralizing
the poppet in the seating area. This multifunctional poppet/
diaphragm/stem results in a simplified design with fewer parts
(only two for the 2-way and three for the 3-way), longer life, and
zero dead volume. Four orifice sizes are available as 2-way normally
closed, 2-way normally open, or 3-way selector/diverter.

n Fluid Power Systems
Motion Industry, Birmingham,
AL, offers fluid power, integrated
electronic controls
and electromechanical technologies under a new brand, Mi Fluid
Power Solutions. The new brand comprises more than 65 ondemand
retail fluid power hydraulic and industrial hose assembly
stores and support facilities, including repair, build, and engineering
capabilities. The brand encompasses hydraulic equipment,
pneumatics, pumps, filtration, motors, and lubrication products, as
well as services that range from barcoded hose assemblies and VMI
delivery services to pressure testing, design of mobile equipment,
hydraulic manifold design, and custom power units with complete
integrated controls and software.

n Frameless Servo Motors
A series of frameless servo motors from Kollmorgen,
Radford, VA, are suitable for surgical
robots. The TBM2G series delivers optimal performance
in a lighter, more compact package.
They are optimized to deliver high torque at relatively
low speeds in low-voltage applications
such as robotic joints, mobile robots, and other
battery-operated machines. Compact and efficient, the series is designed
to be directly embedded into a machine using the machine's
own bearings to support the rotor.
