CHICAGO MARCH 1, 2006
Newest solution to help companies track their compliant parts internally
Newark, a subsidiary of global distributor Premier Farnell plc and the leading small-quantity distributor of electronic components and test equipment in North America, announced today that it has entered into a supplier agreement with global step motor specialist Lin Engineering of Santa Clara, CA to be its sole national electronics catalog distributor.
According to Ryan Lin, Lin Engineering's vice president of marketing and sales, Newark was selected because of the breadth of its engineering customer base in design, manufacturing and maintenance. Lin comments: "Our steppers are known for their precision and consistency, which makes them attractive for any number of motion control applications, ranging from Lasik eye surgery to XY tables. Newark's customers expand across all the industries we're most interested in penetrating, and they can quickly bring new product to market via their outstanding website."
Lin Engineering step motors, including the NEMA 8, the smallest in the market, are available on the newarkinone.com website for same-day shipping, or by calling 1.800.4.NEWARK (463.9275). The entire line can also be accessed through Newark.
