Chain design minimizes motorcycle maintenance needs
A maintenance-free motorcycle chain for the BMW Motorrad eliminates the need for lubrication or periodic re-tensioning.
Integrated wheel drives lower cost of mobile robot ownership
The lifetime cost of ownership of a mobile robot is largely influenced by the design of its drivetrain. If the OEM uses well designed and proven components, the mobile robot will provide many years of service.
Take the pressure off expansion joint design and installation
This white paper examines the basic design principles of pressure thrust and how expansion joints affect it.
Low voltage motor drive market set for near-term decline
The global market for low-voltage AC drives will fall by more than 10% in 2020 although prospects for renewed growth in 2021 appear promising.
OCTOPUS project wraps its arms around electric drive technology
A three-year research program will deliver an e-axle prototype incorporating an advanced magnet free motor, wide band gap power electronics and lightweight transmission systems by 2026.
MONORAIL MR: Stable processes always assured
The roller-guided profiled linear guideways offer a robust quality solution for demanding applications subject to stringent demands for accuracy, such as for tooling machines.
Harnessed readycable for e-chains transmits energy and data securely
Designed for use in energy chains, the hybrid cable combines an energy and data cable in one and is offered as a drive solution for new Bosch Rexroth motors.
Watch: Low-cost emergency ventilator design is freely available
Plans for the acute shortage ventilator, which can be assembled with standard hospital components for about $400, are freely available from Stanford University.
ASHRAE guidelines for school reopening are updated
The guidelines cover HVAC system operation to help mitigate the airborne transmission of the coronavirus as schools prepare to reopen for the fall academic year.
