  • Smart electric actuator from Asahi/America

    The Series 19 family of smart electric actuators packs a variety of standard features into a compact, lightweight and corrosion resistant package.

  • Video: What causes quicker belt wear?

    The key to understanding where the product decline comes from is often how the system interacts as a whole.

  • Magnetic couplings mechanically isolate shafts and motor

    The couplings are ideal for machine designs involving food, pharmaceutical and laboratory applications requiring clean, non-contact connection between motor and shafts.

  • Servo motor updated to meet stringent hygienic requirements

    Baumüller revised its servo motor series for aggressive environments and for industries with very high demands on hygiene, cleanliness and corrosion protection.

  • Chesterton gel-like industrial lubricant protects chains, cables and gears under high pressure

    The polymer-modified synthetic lubricant is well suited for applications requiring a high-pressure resistance and a durable film.

  • ElectroCraft AxialPower™ Enhanced Stepper Linear Actuators now available in NEMA 11, 17 and 23 frame sizes

    Learn the three main ways in which leadscrews can be integrated with stepper motors.

  • Tools for fastening steel I-beams and wood in residential construction

    PowerLite tools are extremely powerful, yet their size is up to 40% smaller and up to 30% lighter than conventional alternatives.

  • Keyless shaft locking bushings feature new hydraulic quick connectors

    The bushing provides a robust hub-shaft connection in the most challenging operating environments while providing high torque and high radial load capacity.

  • Compact, low-noise gearboxes for high loads

    These gearboxes are up to 10 dB quieter than conventional, straight-geared metal gearboxes.

  • Examining motor torque for belt and pulley systems

    A few key parameters determine the torque needed for belt and pulley drives, such as velocity, acceleration and these other factors.

  • The value of powder metallurgy in the automotive market

    Watch this video of a grand prize award winning stepped planetary gear set for an electric light commercial vehicle made for Dana Corporation.

  • Oriental Motor expands PKP stepper motor series

    The center shaft spur gear features increased torque and a larger shaft for greater radial load but without a larger frame size.

  • Fundamentals of timing pulleys and belts

    These are a few advantages and considerations for timing belts and pulleys, which make them a great choice for automobiles and some electric motor power transmissions.

  • HBK launches new LDS shaker system

    By introducing flexibility with different test scenarios while also maintaining many alternative energy-saving options, overall performance costs drop significantly.

  • Drop-in motor solution for robotics applications

    The compact frameless brushless motors are machine wound with bondable magnet wire for superior dependability.

  • Video: Compact, lightweight direct-drive system for in-wheel applications

    A 2.5 kW/kg power density motor is combined with the inverter and brake in a single unit, installed inside a wheel.

  • Design equations and principles of compression springs

    Although compression springs appear to have a very simple function, there are multiple factors that engineers must consider when specifying these springs for a particular application.

  • Pipe and tube bending design: Here is what every designer must know

    There now exist several types of tube bending machines and tools capable of fabricating complex pipe and tube designs.

  • Pivot Point Inc. expands manufacturing facilities

    The non-threaded fastener manufacturing facility expansion is expected to be completed in summer of 2022.

  • Introducing RYCO Hydraulics’ newest line of crimpers

    These machines have been designed with intelligent solutions with high performance and long lasting, reliable service.
