HEADLINES ARCHIVE

  • Cold climate heat pump focused on accelerating environmental sustainability

    The heat pump delivers maximum energy efficiency, even in the coldest U.S. climates.

  • Timing belts vs. flat and V-belts

    Why choose a timing belt over a flat belt or V-belt?

  • Fundamentals of shoulder screws

    Shoulder screws are versatile and can be used for a multitude of applications.

  • Rivets are riveting

    What are rivets, and why have they been used for thousands of years?

  • Video: Multi-cable bushing system with large clamping range solves high-density requirements

    Up to 30 entry points are available to accept cables, wires, conduits and pneumatics and media conduits.

  • Robust 36 mm encoder from Wachendorff

    The encoders are suited for high pressure/steam jet cleaning and are specially designed for applications in harsh environments.

  • What are J-nuts?

    What are J-nuts, how do they work and what are they used for?

  • How to heat treat steel fasteners

    Some of the physical properties fasteners can be altered through thermal treatment after initial formation. In particular, steel alloys are heat treated routinely to increase their strength, hardness and other such properties.

  • Fundamentals of bolts and screws

    Since the terms "bolt" and "screw" were in use before the advent of easily produced helix fasteners, they are often synonymous. However, several standards bodies have attempted to differentiate the terms, with many concluding that it is not the devices themselves which are fundamentally different.

  • MicroTIR™ Gages

    ABTech Manufacturing LLC, has been producing custom built and designed air bearing systems since 1998!

  • NORD’s redesigned 100 frame asynchronous motors usher in a new era of modern engineering

    Redesigned 3 and 4 HP motors provide additional strength, stability and cooling advantages.

  • THK company profile

    THK linear motion solutions are offered worldwide.

  • Faulhaber raises the bar with new AM3248 stepper motor

    Offering up to 10,000 rpm, the motor can achieve five times the speed of comparable stepper motors.

  • The benefits of slip rings for rotary machinery

    Electrical slip rings allow for the transmission of electricity from a part or device that is stationary to one that is rotary.

  • Attend this AGMA detailed gear design course

    Explore all factors that go into good gear design from life cycle, load, torque, tooth, optimization and evaluating consequences.

  • Video: Planetary drives for design flexibility in tracked, wheeled and winch applications

    The new drives offer output torque ratings from 80 kNm to 130 kNm.

  • An innovative solution to trapped air in hydraulic systems

    See how the Air Bleed Orifice results in extremely low fluid loss and maximized system efficiency compared to the traditional drilled hole method.

  • Video: Oil-free water-cooled centrifugal chiller designed for more sustainable buildings

    With two-stage back-to-back compressor technology and magnetic bearings, the system delivers reliability while staying quiet and cool under pressure.

  • Video: New shafted miniature encoder for small spaces

    The high resolution encoder is about 40% smaller than the company's next smallest shafted encoder.

  • Novel friction stir technology for lightweight bridge construction

    Researchers have been developing multiple types of composites with an aluminum matrix to increase stiffness and enhance the mechanical properties of structures.
