Exxelia à Eurosatory

Du 11 au 15 juin, dans le hall 5A stand E543, Exxelia présentera ses dernières solutions électromécaniques comprenant des codeurs optiques absolus.

Codeurs optiques absolus

Exxelia possède une grande expertise dans la fabrication de capteurs de position : codeurs absolus miniatures, codeurs incrémentaux, codeurs rotatifs, technologie magnétique et capteurs inductifs. Plusieurs gammes de codeurs optiques absolus seront présentées sur stand d’Exxelia - Hall 5A stand E543. Les codeurs optiques absolus sont des capteurs de position qui utilisent des signaux optiques pour identifier une position angulaire absolue. Les gammes de codeurs optiques Exxelia offrent de très hauts niveaux de performance pour un très faible encombrement : haute précision (<30arcsc.), haute résolution (jusqu'à 21 bits), faible épaisseur (10mm) et compatibilité EMI EMC. Ces codeurs miniatures sont adaptés aux marchés de l'aéronautique, défense et médical. Différents protocoles sont disponibles pour correspondre à tous les types d'application. 

Deux nouvelles gammes de condensateurs  MIL39006/22 & MIL39006/25

Exxelia a introduit deux nouvelles gammes de condensateurs tantale gélifiés ayant obtenu la qualification MIL-PRF-39006 de niveau M (1.0% / 1000h) : MIL 39006/22 & MIL 39006/25. Ces deux gammes, respectivement équivalentes aux modèles CLR79 et CLR81, associent compacité, fort courant efficace et faible courant de fuite. Conçus avec un boîtier tantale cylindrique hermétique avec terminaisons axiales, les produits MIL 39006/22 & MIL 39006/25 sont proposés dans des tailles de boîtier standards de T1 à T4 avec des plages de capacitance et de tension étendues.
La gamme MIL 39006/22 est qualifiée pour des tensions de 6V à 125V, avec des capacités allant de 1200µF @ 6V  à 56 µF @ 125V. La gamme MIL 39006/25 est quant à elle qualifiée pour des tensions de 25V à 125V avec des capacités allant de 680µF @ 25V à 82 µF @ 125V. Ces deux gammes combinent une grande capacité de stockage d’énergie avec une plage étendue de température de fonctionnement de -55°C à 125°C, ainsi qu’une très bonne tenue aux chocs et vibrations (option H disponible).

Exxelia Ohmcraft Custom Resistors Help Ensure Reliability of Most-Deployed Anti-Tank Missile in the World

In times of warfare, the reliability of military weapons is absolutely critical to the success of a mission. For nearly a decade, military contractors have leveraged Exxelia Ohmcraft’s custom, high voltage resistors and dividers to ensure product performance in a variety of military applications, including the FGM-148 Javelin—the most-deployed anti-tank missile in the world. In a variety of military applications, including the FGM-148 Javelin—the most-deployed anti-tank missile in the world.“Missiles are exposed to extreme climate conditions and often sit idle—sometimes for several years—before they are launched. When that time comes, it is essential for those missiles to perform as expected,” said Eric Van Wormer, Vice President of Exxelia Ohmcraft. “Exxelia Ohmcraft custom resistors are designed to support the rigorous precision and reliability specifications required by military suppliers to withstand the harsh environmental conditions, ensuring that the missile remains fully operational under all circumstances. Exxelia Ohmcraft performs a full range of military lot acceptance testing (LAT) on resistors as necessary, and works closely with military contractors to meet the design requirements for each particular application. In the case of the FGM-148 Javelin, a small, lightweight form factor was imperative to keep the missiles as lightweight and portable as possible. Exxelia Ohmcraft’s technology utilizes the proprietary Micropen electronic printing system to “print” precise, narrow, serpentine lines with resistive ink on a ceramic substrate, producing higher performance resistors over a wider range of values on a smaller surface area than is possible with conventional film resistor technology.

What is a capacitor ?

▲ WHAT IS A CAPACITOR ?   Definition from the dictionnary: « Capacitor »: Device able to accumulate charges and to relaunch them in a very short time.    > See our capacitors in catalog    What it really is: It&#39;s an electrical component made of 2 conductive armatures (called electrodes) separated by an isolating layer. Its main property is to store electrical charges on its armatures. There is a direct link between the voltage put on the capacitor and the value of the charge at the armatures This coefficient C, the capacitance, is the value caracterizing mathematically the capacitors. As we can identifie a direct link between U and I in the capacitor we can caracterize it as a dipole this way: 3 main dipoles : In the physical reality:   Contacts with the PCB (terminations) + Other internal contact suh as the metallic contacts, or the physical internal resistivity of the used materials. → Resistance in the circuit   Other losses due mainly to the leads → inductive effect in the circuit. Example of possible caracterization: That’s why the Esr is always written « at a certain frequency »  which should be the resonnance frequency. This is also why the capacitors have frequency optimal ranges. The higher the resonance frequency is, the higher the frequencies are withstanded by the capacitor.   In terms of energy Efficient energy is Ec.   In reality E= Ec+Er+Ei with: Ec = Energy due to the ideal capacitor Er = Energy to the ESR Ei = Energy due to the leakage.   So Er and Ei are caracterized by heating (Joule effect). So even if that’s not always a key paramter, the lower the esr the better it is for the circuit.                                                                                                                                                                               If the capacitor is polarized : If the capacitor is not polarized : > See our capacitors in catalog   ▲ MAIN CARACTERISTICS 1) Voltages (V) 2) Capacitance of Capacitor   3) Capacitance / volume 4) Tan Delta / ESR   5) Price of the function Whatever the function, the price of capacitors is important !
