Bergquist Company Industrial Automation
Bergquist Industrial Automation provides advanced materials that are crucial in groundbreaking industrial automation technologies and the advancement of Industry 4.0. Industrial processes are changing, and artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, robotics, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are moving mainstream. These developments make it critical to have the right material and components to dissipate heat, protect electronics in harsh environments, secure components, and deliver electrical integrity.
Programmable Logic Controllers
PLCs perform highly sophisticated computations and communications that automate electromechanical processes. Advanced materials help manage high thermal loads, bond materials, and protect against dust, contamination, and moisture ingress to bolster performance and reliability. Products in this category include all of the items listed in the Thermal Interface Materials below.
Servo Drives
Servo drive performance and reliability benefits from advanced materials solutions. Potting solutions encapsulate and insulate from environmental effects, staking adhesives secure a wide range of component types and materials, and conformal coatings protect PCBs and electrical components. Products in this category include the Thermal Phase Change Materials listed in the Thermal Interface Materials products below.
AC and Variable-Frequency Drives
AC drives significantly improve motor efficiency and are increasingly complex in design, assembly, and manufacturing. To ensure AC drive performance, conformal coatings protect electronics against harsh environments, staking adhesives secure applications, and phase change materials support heat dissipation and electrical isolation. Products in this category include the Thermal Phase Change Materials listed in the Thermal Interface Materials products below.
DC Drives
DC drives' greater functionality and higher power densities depend on advanced materials to ensure high performance and reliability. These materials eliminate heat, provide environmental protection, and secure adhesion across a wide variety of materials and components. Threadlockers and gasketing materials ensure intact, leak-free seals and resistance to high temperatures, pressure, and vibrations. Products in this category include the Thermal Phase Change Materials listed in the Thermal Interface Materials below.
Motor Controllers
Motor controllers are vital to managing torque and speed and reducing motor energy consumption. Advanced materials bolster motor controller performance and reliability via thermal interface materials in pad, liquid, gel, and phase change formulations, staking adhesives for excellent adhesion, gasketing solutions for leak-free seals and resistance to temperature, pressure, and vibration, and threadlocker adhesives. Products in this category include all of the items listed in the Thermal Interface Materials below.
Electric Motors
Electric motors must be manufactured with increased durability, cost-effectiveness, and motor efficiency. Advanced materials help by providing electric motor adhesives, industrial sealants, thermal management materials, and functional coatings to deliver maximum motor reliability and cost-effective production. Products in this category include all of the items listed in the Thermal Interface Materials below.
