Hydraulic Institute publishes pump application guideline for commercial building services
This guideline has been created to provide engineers, trainers, maintenance staff and plant operators with the knowledge necessary to effectively specify pumps in North America.
Hydraulic explosives compaction presses support America's national defense effort
Both law enforcement and the Department of Defense depend on hydraulic presses to create explosive compacts within their munitions. Savage hydraulic presses provide a safe solution for this dangerous process.
This school's gas valve looked to be closed, then it exploded
At the time of the explosion, workers were installing new piping as part of work to relocate gas meters from the basement of the building to the outside.
Brushless DC motors enable logistics automation solutions
Growing demand for cost-effective and efficient transportation solutions for the logistics sector shines a spotlight on the inherent benefits that BLDC motors provide.
QTL-A torque motor housing installation in 10 steps
Do you want to know how to install a torque motor? Find out in this video, which shows a housing installation method for Tecnotions QTL-motor with cooling ring.
Engineer's guide to gate valves and their configuration
Gate valves are linear motion valves with a flat closure element that slides into the flow stream to provide shut-off. They are one of the most common valve types in use today and are excellent for use anywhere a shutoff valve is needed. Other common names for gate valves are knife valves and slide valves.
This AI-driven algorithm could help monitor bridge and dam health
Researchers developed an algorithm for monitoring the condition of bridges, dams and other infrastructure.
Calculate the service life of your chainflex® continuous-flex cables
Engineers always wonder how long chainflex® cables from igus® are expected to last inside their applications. Watch this video to learn how you can easily estimate the number of cycles.
Automotive Lightweighting with Adhesive Bonding
The automotive industry is increasingly employing composites, ultrahigh-strength steels and low-density alloys such as aluminum and magnesium to lightweight vehicles. These new material combinations often require new bonding technologies.
Save with butterfly valve tee linkages
Learn about butterfly valve (BFV) tee linkage applications and how BFV tee linkages can save you money.
How do oleo-pneumatic shock struts work?
Learn about oleo struts, critical shock absorbing elements of aircraft landing gear that cushion forces associated with landing and ground maneuvers such as taxiing.
Hot-dip galvanizing of fasteners
One of the most effective means of mitigating steel corrosion is hot-dip galvanizing, especially for fasteners. What follows is an overview of the hot-dip galvanizing production process, benefits of the method, related industry standards and other considerations.
Aircraft actuation technologies: How do electrohydraulic, electrohydrostatic and electromechanical actuators work?
Learn about the operating principles, advantages and disadvantages of three major actuation technologies used on aircraft.
How do aircraft brakes work?
Aircraft brakes stop a moving aircraft by converting its kinetic energy to heat energy by means of friction between rotating and stationary discs located in brake assemblies in the wheels.
Flexure bearings for limited movement assemblies
Flexure bearings, also referred to as pivot bearings, were designed to tackle the design challenge of limited movement rotational assemblies. They are constructed of non-contacting sleeves connected internally by leaf springs, allowing friction-free limited rotation.
Water jet propulsion sails into the 21st century
Water jet propulsion systems are moving beyond personal watercraft and into much larger vessels, including naval patrol boats and offshore oil rig tenders.
Sentinel 1 shock absorbers remotely optimize safety, equipment life and productivity
Controlling noise, vibration and shock due to an impact or repeated impacts is important to maximize equipment life, minimize damage and most importantly, provide a safe work environment.
Tapflo launches the new range of filter press pumps
The pumps transfer large quantities of liquid into the empty press and small quantities at high pressure when the filter press is filled.
Pentair releases new commercial pumps with enhanced efficiencies
The pumps feature high working pressure thresholds and energy efficiencies for HVAC applications.
Stroke-dependent damping valve for automotive suspensions
DRiV Incorporated’s new family of advanced, highly tunable add-on valves for automotive original equipment manufacturers feature stroke dependent dampening (SDD) valve technology to improve the performance of passive dampers.
