MINNETONKA, MN, January 31, 2011 (Press-News.org) Nexen Group Inc. announces the RLSS Series Rod Locks, Generation 2, now available with an optional embedded engagement sensor. The spring-engaged, air-released rod locks deliver reliable holding forces up to 5000 lbs with very low backlash. Now, generation 2 models are available with an optional magnetic inductive sensor that can improve the overall safety of the machine by creating a monitoring system that allows feedback during operation. The magnetic inductive sensor is simply fastened to a T-slot in the housing to detect rod lock engagement (customer supplied Reed switches are also compatible).
RLSS Series Rod Locks are specifically designed for reliable high-precision gripping, ensuring accurate positioning throughout the performance of other tasks. A clamping collar applies a holding force 360 degrees around the cylinder rod, allowing the rod lock to consistently deliver the highest amount of force in the smallest package possible--without causing rod displacement. The design results in minimal wear on the cylinder rod, increasing service life and accuracy while reducing maintenance requirements.
RLSS Series Rod Locks, Generation 2 are available in a broad range of industry-standard sizes--including ISO and NFPA--as well as custom sizes to meet specific application requirements. Rod locks are IP67 rated, withstanding washdown environments and other demanding industrial motion control applications. Models are CE marked and RoHS compliant. Additionally, the new features help machine builders reach compliance with Energy and other Safety standards. The versatile sizes and ratings make RLSS Series Rod Locks, Generation 2 well suited to the following applications:
* Automotive manufacturing
* Robotics
* Inspection equipment
* Transfer equipment
* Injection molding equipment
* Food processing
* Packaging machinery
* Material handling
* Machine tool
* Aerospace
* Positioning equipment

The driver, his wife and five members of the Bluffton team were killed, and many others suffered serious injuries in the sudden and violent motor vehicle accident.

In December of 2010, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood lent his support to an increasingly popular practice: using search warrants to compel blood draws from alleged intoxicated drivers who refuse to submit to breath tests. "I applaud the efforts of the law enforcement officials who have pioneered the 'No Refusal' approach to get drunk drivers off our roads," LaHood said in a released statement.
Nine states, including Texas, Illinois, Arizona and Florida, have adopted "no refusal" programs. ...

In Utah, those individuals that were pulled over on New Year's Eve for suspicion of DUI were met with an unwelcome surprise: a "no refusal" policy.
According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration slightly over 20 percent of drunk driving suspects refuse to take breathalyzer tests.

NTSB Recommends Mandatory Helmet Laws for Motorcyclists
For the first time in 12 years, motorcycling fatalities in the United States declined in 2009. While the reasons for the decline are not known, worsening economic conditions causing fewer new riders, fewer miles ridden, and casual riders selling their motorcycles have been cited as possible supporting factors.
Yet, while the drop in deaths of approximately 10 percent is certainly a step in the right direction, many experts felt that the numbers had nowhere to go but down after a particularly steep 5-year climb. ...

GMAC Mortgage Don't Quit
It's a "Foreclosure Machine," says Attorney
Imagine making monthly mortgage payments and never missing a payment - not one, and never late - yet home foreclosure is nonetheless attempted by various mortgage lenders on three separate occasions.
That's what happened to Ohio couple Michael and Pamella Negrea.
The Negreas' mortgage took quite a journey, as have many other homeowners' mortgages, starting in 1998 after the Negreas refinanced their home. The mortgage was sold to Advanta Mortgage, then Nation's Credit, then Homecomings Financial.
