How a PhotoMOS Solid State Relay Works

An Introduction to PhotoMOS Relays

A relay is an electrical component whose output is controlled in an open or closed position by applying or removing drive voltage from an electrically isolated circuit.   For many years electromechanical relays were the only choice to perform such a function.  During the last two decades, however, new technologies have emerged enabling semiconductors to switch output circuits with an electrical control signal via electronic, magnetic, optical or other means that require no mechanical movement.

GAST in Medical/Diagnostic Applications

Gast has applied industry-leading innovation to create new products and processes to solve our customers’ tough application challenges.  Their comprehensive line of air motors, compressors, vacuum pumps and blowers are used in many Medical lab and Diagnostic applications.

SMC – Low profile air grippers with space saving design

 The MHF2 Series is a low profile air gripper, designed to save substantial space. The height of the MHF2 gripper is approximately 1/3 the size of an equivalent MHZ series gripper.

NB Linear Systems Rotary Ball Spline

The NB Linear System rotary ball spline SPB type combines a spline nut and a set of angular contact bearings in a compact, high accuracy, and high-speed rotation-capable assembly, providing both linear and rotational motion at the same time.

Helping customer reduce costs and improve time-to-market

Ohlheiser Corporation offers custom sub-assembly service.  We can assist with the design and assembly of fabricated parts helping our customers reduce costs and improve their time-to-market.

SMC Air Cylinders

SMC actuators, air cylinders, rodless actuators, grippers, and rotary cylinders offer the most innovative pneumatic cylinder designs in the automation industry.

Basic linear air cylinders are used to provide straight-line, in/out linear movement for a variety of applications. Basic air cylinders are available as single-acting and double-acting with single or double rod and non-rotating models.

Panasonic FX-500 Sensor with Built-in Logic Control

The Panasonic FX-500 is a highly advanced digital fiber sensor with high end features and a class leading stability and performance.  The built-in logic control function with optical communication ports transmits logic data to adjacent sensors.

The News Standard in Pneumatic Actuators – SMC CQ2

Improving on the previous design, the new CQ2 pneumatic actuator from SMC is available in 15 bore sizes from 12mm to 200mm.

• 6 mounting options
• Sensors can be mounted on all 4 sides
• 42 standard options

SMC PF3W Digital Flow Switch

SMC’s  PF3W digital flow switch is perfect for applications requiring a constantly monitored flow of cooling or cleaning water. The PF3W series has been improved both in design and operating performance over the PF2W flow switch with a smaller size and the addition of 2 screens, incorporating 3-color numerical rotatable displays.

Airpel Plus – Low friction made lower

Airpel expands its  family of accurate force, ultra low friction air cylinders, with the Airpel Plus line. Combining features and components from the Aripel and Airpel-AB models, the Airpel Plus offers high performance air cylinders for applications requiring even lower friction than the standard Airpel, but at a price well below our top-of-the line Airpel-AB.
