OZ Lifting XR Series davit cranes
OZ Lifting Products has launched its XR Series of davit cranes for wastewater and water operators. The Winona, Minnesota-based manufacturer has released the model in 500 and 1,000 pound capacities, but the long reach of the range is a standout benefit for operators. Where other davit cranes typically have reduced capacity when it is in the longest reaching position, this series maintains its maximum capacity rating in all configurations. This means wastewater and water professionals can lift more weight, further out, which presents many benefits for numerous lifting and material handling applications. The smaller crane weighs only 57 pounds and the larger crane weighs 95 pounds. Both have a maximum 62-inch reach and maximum hook height of 87 inches. 800-749-1064; www.ozliftingproducts.com

Endress+Hauser Micropilot 80 GHz radar sensors
Endress+Hauser has launched its new generation of Micropilot 80 GHz radar sensors: FMR60B, FMR62B, FMR63B, FMR66B and FMR67B. The sensors are suited for challenges when measuring points aren’t easily accessible, located in dusty areas and harsh environments with extreme process temperatures and process conditions. They come equipped with wizards which operate via multiple HMI formats, including the SmartBlue app, and make the sensors easier to use. The measurement performance of the new radar chip combined with the smart Heartbeat Technology monitoring function helps to increase productivity. The HistoROM mobile data memory transfers measuring point parameters without error when the electronics are replaced. The device is repaired quickly and smoothly without requiring specialized user knowledge. 888-363-7377; www.us.endress.com
BinMaster Flow Detect 2000 sensor
BinMaster’s Flow Detect 2000 improves bulk material handling by detecting plugged chutes and clogged or empty conveyors. It can tell if a slide gate is open or closed. When mounted in a distributor, it will know if material is flowing or not, preventing cross-contamination if the flow has completely stopped. The sensors help ensure an essential ingredient flows into a process for better batch control. Flow Detect sensors use Doppler Technology to sense flow and no-flow conditions in a bulk material system. The device is now approved to North American CSA/US Class II, Division 1 Groups E, F & G as well as European Union ATEX Zone 21 hazardous locations. 800-278-4241; www.binmaster.com

IDEC Corp. RC Series printed circuit board
The new RC Series printed circuit board relays from IDEC Corp. come in several low-profile configurations, provide high-capacity power switching, and perform reliably even in challenging environments. The RC Series replaces and upgrades the RJxV Series PCB mount relays. The RC Series is designed to mount directly to a PCB using through-holes, and can be wave-, dip-, robotically- or hand-soldered. The configuration provides a low-profile height of 0.65 inches or less, with high voltage and current ratings in relation to their size and weight. The relays are designed to operate from minus 40 to 185 degree F, with a lifetime of 20 million operations (at 18,000 times per hour) unloaded, or at least 100,000 times at rated load. 800-262-4332; www.idec.com
FCI ST80 digester gas flow meter
The rugged ST80 Series thermal flowmeter from Fluid Components International provides precision mass flow measurement. With its lack of moving parts and simple insertion-style design, and comprehensive, global HazEx approvals, the ST80 is an ideal solution for digester gas flow measurement. The meter combines feature-rich electronics and FCI innovations such as Adaptive Sensing Technology with an extensive selection of application-matched flow sensors, including FCI’s wet gas flow element, to provide a solution for moisture-rich digester gas applications. The ST80 meter further combines these features with a robust, rugged transmitter enclosure and process connections to provide long service life and ease-of-installation in the installation’s pipe or duct. Its insertion style configuration for wastewater digester gas is a single-point meter for pipe diameters greater than 2 inches. It operates over a wide flow range: 0.25 to 1,000 standard feet per second. 800-854-1993; www.fluidcomponents.com
