On 6 November 2020, a major French defence contractor, the Naval Group in Toulon, delivered the Q284 Suffren, a Barracuda-class, nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN), to the French Armament Procurement Agency (Direction Générale de l'Armement).

Kistler supplies Airbus’s Zephyr with measurement technology for ground and flight testing

02/02/2029

For a revolutionary aerospace development project at Airbus, Kistler supplies two high-precision accelerometers, which deliver key data for aerial vehicle design. The very small and lightweight sensors – one of them capable of operating under stratospheric pressure and temperature conditions – pave the way for further enhancement of the Zephyr platform.

Stepper motor vs servo motor: Which is right for your application?

02/02/2029

In today’s industrial marketplace, it can be confusing and challenging to choose the correct motor for an application. As well as all the different types of motor, the information provided on each is often either too basic or too technical to be helpful. In this article, Mike Keefe of KEB America explains the differences between stepper and servo motors, and when it is appropriate to use each technology.
