New Piston Ring Technology For Commercial Vehicles from Federal-Mogul Powertrain
The piston ring enhances gas sealing capability by stabilizing ring dynamic motion and homogenizing oil film.
A Longer-range Electric Drive System for Buses
The system is marked by low weight, noise and energy consumption due to brake force recuperation and advanced battery technology.
Nanoparticles Deliver Cancer-fighting Drugs Directly to the Tumor
The nanoparticles were specifically developed to fight glioblastoma multiforme one of the most difficult forms of cancer to treat.
Snakes Help Engineers Better Understand Friction
Through evolution, snakes have adapted to move efficiently and survive in their various habitats immediately. “These environments can be brutal on even our most advanced machinery, so applying what we know about snake texturing could help our technology adapt as well,” reasoned Hisham Abel-Aal, an associate teaching professor from Drexel University’s College of Engineering.
Rotary Union Design Factors and Sealing Technologies for Machining Center Applications
Advanced mechanical seal materials and seal technology lie at the heart of every high-performance Deublin rotary union.
A Sampling of Hydraulic Rod Seal Solutions
The rod seal is a crucial element in fluid power systems, as it prevents fluid leakage from the hydraulic cylinder. Such leaks undermine equipment performance and service life but can be avoided by attention to seal characteristics that meet the specifications for a given application.
Trust and Equality are Important to People Interacting with Robots and AI According to New Study
Equal access and social responsibility should be priorities for policymakers in the ongoing development of AI and robotics.
New Microscope System Allows Researchers to Observe Animal’s Brain Activity in Natural Environments
The ability to track the interactions of brain cells in animals in their natural habitat has been long sought after by neuroscientists and doctors. Researchers from The Rockefeller University have developed a system that is a huge step closer to this dream.
Compact, Fully Integral Dosing Systems for Fine Chemical and Pharmaceutical Applications
The integral micro-annular gear pumps from HNP Mikrosysteme are chemically inert and particularly suited to handling aggressive and corrosive fluids.
New MW Industries Energy Solutions Provides Precision Metal Components for Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Applications
Five MW Industries brands are brought under one umbrella to help provide solutions pertaining to springs, heavy fasteners, energized seals, custom shims, edge-welded and electrodeposited bellows.
Adaptive DFS Drives All Flow-type Fasteners
No matter whether your fasteners are flow-form, flow-drill or flow-push, the DEPRAG Adaptive DFS will automatically adjust itself to process any of these fasteners and varying materials.
Typical MRO Applications for Radial Oil Seals
Though their primary function is simple enough — to keep oil and grease in while keeping dust out — radial oil seals, also known as rotary shaft seals, are far from simple and play a role in just about every industry imaginable.
Festo Builds a Superconductive Motor
Festo presented its SupraMotor technology platform, a superconductive claw pole motor with solid-body cooling, at the Hanover Messe 2018 trade fair in Germany.
Watch: 3D Printed Dentures Filled with Antibacterial Drugs Help Fight Fungal Infections in Denture Wearers
To fight fungal infections, researchers from the University at Buffalo have used 3D printers to build dentures filled with microscopic capsules that release antifungal medication.
Wind Power Strategy Could Harvest Maximum Potential Energy from Wind Farms
This new method could increase wind power potential by 6-7 percent.
Adaptive Materials Developed for Future Military Aircraft
Achievement of on-demand control of composite behavior could help accelerate the evolution of new capabilities for future rotorcraft design, performance and maintenance.
Fully Integrated Traction Motor System (E-Axle) Developed by Nidec
The fully integrated traction motor system (e-axle) comprises an electric motor, reduction gear box and inverter.
Keep Your Couplings Clean and Dry
Stafford Manufacturing Corp. has introduced a new rigid shaft coupling cover that keeps couplings protected from dirt, dust and water. Stafford coupling covers are manufactured with ID sizes from 3/4" to 2" and are available in machined, injection molded or 3D-printed versions to fit straight-through and reducer style rigid couplings.
New Process of Recycling Rare Earth Magnets from Hard Drives Developed
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Critical Materials Institute (CMI) have created a new recycling process that turns old hard disk drive (HDD) magnets into a brand-new magnet material with just a few steps.
New Valve Operator Operates Steam Valves from 6 Inches to 60 Inches
This valve operator was created for the petro chemical, wastewater and water distribution industries.
