Bolting Systems announces new hydraulic pump
The Bolting Systems PE60 series pumps meet a wide array of high-pressure bolting tool applications requiring durability, speed and performance. These include power generation, machinery maintenance, construction and utility applications.
This drone can enter burning buildings, woodlands
Composed of thermal aerogel insulation material, the FireDrone also features an onboard cooling system that enables it to withstand temperatures up to 200° C for 10 minutes.
Video: A modular nuclear approach to decarbonize district heating
Each of these small modular reactors can supply district heating needs for a small city and displace fossil fuel-based heating networks.
New instruments further standardize single cell analysis workflow
The systems bring portability to any laboratory in instruments that deliver accurate, reproducible results.
New hybrid light-curable adhesive for the medical field
These adhesives offer rapid curing in light or darkness to a wider range of substrates.
ARC executive interview with Jeremy M. Friedmar of Belden
Learn about Belden's transformation to a solutions provider and how Belden empowers its customers on their digital transformation journeys.
When to use ceramic bearings
Compared to steel bearings in similar environments, ceramics can last two to three times longer. Trading off the higher cost of ceramics for fewer maintenance overhauls usually is worth it for those specialty applications which really need high performance.
Bumax delivers fasteners that are out of this world
These fasteners will be used to secure a new payload aboard the International Space Station.
Hybrid scheme enhances energy storage efficiency
Gravity energy storage and power-based storage systems, such as batteries and supercapacitors, can be combined in a single system.
Kollmorgen Express Delivery shortens lead times for the company’s most popular motion products
The company has implemented a new classification for select products that can be delivered within an accelerated timeframe.
3D printed wall can communicate with its developers
The sensors provide real-time data about temperature, strain, relative humidity, pressure, electrical resistivity, and electrochemical potential — metrics that could potentially aid researchers in both detecting and correcting structural flaws before they occur.
The indoor pollution potential of gas stoves
Recent research points to these appliances as major sources of benzene in residential spaces.
Free drive technology webinars from Faulhaber
Webinars on stepper motors, noise development in miniature drives, how linear drives function or selecting the right encoder are available.
VLB3: The innovative third-generation steam conditioning valve
The valve's design features include a quick exchange seat that is suitable for installations where erosion caused by wet steam or high velocities can have an adverse effect on seat leakage (tightness). The distribution of pressure drops in this configuration reduces the steam velocity across the sealing surfaces.
High-speed robotic parcel sorting system introduced by Ambi Robotics
Ambi Robotics has introduced its AmbiSort B-Series, a modular parcel induction and sorting solution designed to automate the tasks of inducting and sorting parcels into gaylord destinations, and thus automating the labor-intensive manual sorting of supply chain operations.
Automating compliance with nuclear arms agreements
N-SpecDir Bot can reportedly be programmed to detect a nearby source of neutrons — sub-atomic particles from the nucleus of an atom — and the direction they are coming from as well as the intensity of their source.
How to derate bearings based on load
When significant axial force is applied, the bearing load carrying capability must be adjusted to accommodate this combined load. This is often referred to as derating the bearings.
Pushing the boundaries of packaging innovation
From chip scale packaging to multi-octave M-Package designs, Marki Microwave continues to lead in packaging innovation.
Roller vs thrust bearings
Most roller bearings can tolerate a slight side load of about 10% the rated load. But if a significant side load is anticipated, it is best to use a bearing which is designed for this condition to begin with.
Tech Frontiers in Outer Space (August 6-12)
The current era of space travel and engineering has never been more exciting.
