Newark, the Development Distributor, is expanding its range of switches and relays, offering same-day shipping for over 25,000 products and on demand access to over 85,000 products, to further help engineers reduce time to market. Additions include products from EAO, NKK, Omron, and TE Connectivity.

These new additions to the Newark portfolio, supporting industrial applications, transportation equipment, IIoT and communications solutions, include:

• EAO Series 84 "Halo Illumination" Pushbuttons — A modular pushbutton system of lenses, switch/indicator housings and switching elements are designed for a standard 22.5mm cut out to provide reliability in harsh environments. Featuring attractive flush mounting and IP67 standard sealing, the illumination options add a modern touch to operator controls and are ideal for industrial applications such as industrial machinery, process automation, and medical equipment. Three different styles—halo diffused lenses, units with halo illuminated switch bezels, or an animated illuminated bezel version— allow for chasing LED sequences, multi-color illumination, partial bezel illumination and more.

• NKK Switches KP02 Series—The NKK KP02 Series is a super bright LED illuminated pushbutton featuring smooth, silent, non-tactile actuation with a shorted stroke of .138" (3.5mm) and a compact profile of only .906" (23mm) high above the PC board. Ideal for use in a variety of control panel applications and features a two pin termination for a simplified footprint. The NKK KP02 Series also has twin contacts with gold plating, to assure impressive reliability exceeding 5 million operations.

• OMRON IA G2RV Industrial Slim Power Relay—The G2RV series 6A Industrial Slim Relay with LED indicator, clear case and mechanical flag allows for easy and immediate visual operation verification in a wide range of industrial applications. The slim outline saves space in high volume rack and PLC applications, with low power consumption for system energy savings and large plug-in terminals for a reliable connection.

• TE Connectivity P2 Relay V23079 Signal Relay—The V23079 is a 2-pole Signal Relay with DC coil that is suitable for a wide range of applications such as communications equipment, measurement and control equipment, and medical equipment. The V23079 features high sensitivity for low power consumption and in a slim form factor.

"Switches and relays are integral components, and our customers demand faster shipping so that they can in turn advance their projects and speed time to market," said Danny Weiss, Senior Product Manager at Newark. "As the Development Distributor, we've added new offerings to our already broad range, and ensure same-day shipping is available for tens of thousands of products to enable our customers to efficiently bring their ideas to life."

Newark's broad line of switches includes: snap action switches, limit switches, toggle switches, push button switches, rocker switches, tactile, keypads, joy sticks, DIP/SIP, slide, and switch components and accessories, and well as general purpose power relays, time delay relays, signal relays, monitoring relays, automotive relays, solenoids, contactors, accessories, and more.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
