New discrete proportional pilot valve for high flow applications
The valve is engineered for fluid control in commercial vehicle and off-highway applications.
Seepex unveils sanitary progressive cavity pump with flexible rod drive train design
The sanitary progressive cavity pump incorporates a flexible rod drive train design for simpler maintenance and clean in place/clean out of place processes.
First ABB electric propulsion to be installed on board a bulk carrier
Two self-unloading dry cargo transshipment units will be the first bulk carriers in the industry to feature ABB’s Azipod electric propulsion.
A spotlight on MECO EP Type-1 seals
A single seal type and size will not be the ideal solution for every application. To ensure proper seal function, the seal’s specifications must be matched to the application.
Solid or dry film lubrication for OEM and MRO applications
Solid and dry film lubricants, which are applied as a non-fluid coating by spraying, dipping or brushing onto the surface, reduce the friction between parts and cannot be washed away.
Oxford Flow launches gas regulator valve to increase reliability
The pilot-operated wafer-type regulator range offers high levels of performance for natural gas and other corrosive and non-corrosive gas applications.
Rust and rattle-proof design reinvents license plate mounting
Rightcar Solutions recently highlighted its patented line of silicone license plate frames for cars and motorcycles.
Linear bearing corrosion resistance test
What happens when you submerge a recirculating linear ball bearing and a self-lubricating plastic linear bearing from igus in water and vinegar for five days? Watch to find out!
How are bearing balls made?
Bearing balls are the component of a ball bearing that permit smooth, friction-free rotary motion. Have you ever wondered how they are made?
How the world’s first large-scale electric excavator works
The 25 tonne Cat 323F Z-line excavator is nearly identical to the diesel-powered Cat 323F excavator, except its diesel engine has been replaced with an electric powertrain.
Bearing terms and calculations every design engineer should know
When sized and used properly most bearings will operate for many years without requiring replacement. Knowledge of bearing life and load terminology and calculations will help the design engineer with bearing selection.
Easy index cutter heads with Big Kaiser’s contact grip
The Fullcut Mill Contact Grip is an endmill that permits easy indexing of cutter heads while maintaining excellent rigidity and accuracy.
Walk and harvest energy with this backpack
Contained in a backpack, the energy harvesting load carriage system generates electricity from the side-to-side movements of a person walking.
A spotlight on MECO EA Type-2 seals
Designed for use in low-to-moderate shaft speeds on small-to-large shaft diameters, the EA Type-2 uses full-contact, soft-face mechanical shaft-sealing technology, sized for OEMs and custom in-house process equipment.
Blackmer extends its line of GNX series pumps with new 3 and 4-inch models
The pumps are designed to optimize the transfer of non-corrosive, non-abrasive industrial and petroleum products for both portable and stationary applications.
How does a jet engine work?
Learn how a jet engine exploits Newton’s third law of motion to achieve jet propulsion.
Conic systems offers zero backlash harmonic gearing to replace planetary gear drives
The zero backlash characteristic is maintained for life and high ratios of 50:1 to 200:1 are achieved in a single stage.
New ReNu pumphead technology offers accurate and repeatable flow for polymer dosing
The new Qdos 20 ReNu PU pumphead offers accurate and repeatable flow for chemicals with a wide-ranging viscosity.
What’s inside a CubeSat?
A detailed look at the components inside the MicroMAS-1 CubeSat.
A thin layer of zinc plating has wide effect on fasteners
When it comes to mechanical fasteners such as bolts and nuts, electroplating a steel or iron component with zinc provides functionality and reliability that is more than surface deep.
