THK: Accurate and reliable motion since 1971.
DARPA seeks to develop silent submarine
To develop this new propulsion system, the team based its work on a concept called magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) wherein a fluid is charged and accelerated via an electromagnetic field to produce thrust.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The mining of old sports car names for new SUVs continues with the Dodge Stealth
According to recent reports, Dodge intends to resurrect the Stealth name sometime next year for a Durango replacement.
Advanced tech makes inroads in bearing manufacture
The implications of these advancements are significant, as they increase the efficiency and accuracy of bearing designs, enhance production capabilities and offer more efficient service with customers.
A brief guide to bearing lubrication
Bearing lubrication minimizes wear and tear on rolling elements, resulting in longer machinery lifespans as well as increased productivity throughout its lifetime.
Connectors designed for tight installation spaces
Where secure electrical connections need to be established in confined spaces, angled versions of these connectors with snap-in or bayonet locking provide a reliable and space-saving alternative to the straight versions.
