eBook examines efficiency in automation

Modern Industrial Technologies: Driving Efficiency and Innovation gives a deep dive into the ever-increasing demands for precision, speed, and efficiency in modern industrial automation, robotics, energy and sensor technology and how TDK's technology portfolio empowers engineers to overcome these challenges.

With TDK's solutions already deployed across multiple industrial automation disciplines, this eBook gives insights into various considerations vital to a whole range of automation activities, from simple voltage and current measurements to complex navigational signal analysis and system diagnostics.

The eBook highlights many of TDK's products that help bridge these challenges including:

The ERUC23 SMT flat wire coupled inductors feature low-loss ferrite, high-saturation currents, and low DC resistance, offering self-leaded construction with flat wire winding and lead-free tinned terminals for 48V_into 12V_out hybrid converters and dual-phase buck, boost, and buck-boost converters. These inductors also provide reduced ripple with improved efficiency in a compact package. The ERUC23 series is RoHS compatible and AEC-Q200 qualified.

The B43659 ultra-compact snap-in capacitors provide high reliability and high ripple current capability for power supplies, frequency converters, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), medical appliances, and solar inverters. These extremely high CV products feature snap-in solder pins, an aluminum case, and both two-terminal and three-terminal versions to ensure correct installation. The B43659 series is RoHS compliant and offers a rated voltage of 450V_DC and a capacitance range of 140µF to 1030µF with ±20% tolerance and operating in a -40°C to +105°C temperature range.

EPCOS / TDK's PiezoHapt and PowerHap actuators are ideal for providing haptic feedback to user actions in smartphones and touchpad displays, car navigation systems, controllers, household appliances, industrial equipment, and medical devices. The PiezoHapt actuators consist of a vibration unit with a multilayer piezoelectric element and vibration plate, while the PowerHap version has multilayer piezo plates with copper inner electrodes. These devices are RoHS compatible and have an operating temperature range of -10°C to +60°C or -40°C to +85°C.

The FLECLEAR Ag-Stacked Film Sheets feature a thin, transparent, conductive Ag alloy layer that is deposited on a film substrate, ideal for light control windows (smart windows) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs), flexible displays and lighting, or transparent electrodes of wearable devices.
