How to Tell if You Need PCB Assembly Services
At Screaming Circuits we talk about PCB assembly as being our speciality, but conceptually, it's more of a case of us trying to remove some of your barriers.
A New Wrinkle Damps Traffic Noise
A new origami lattice technique for manipulating noise-reducing devices allows researchers to selectively diffuse traffic noise at different frequencies.
High-Temperature Ceramic Pump Transfers Liquid Metal
The pump operates at record temperatures exceeding 1,400 C (1,673 K) and can transfer high temperature liquids such as molten tin.
The Cable Management Mistakes You Don’t Know You’re Making
Modern cable carriers can withstand longer travels, faster speeds, and higher loads than ever before. Such advances in automation technology mean that certain rules of thumb have become outdated.
Electric Powertrains Target the Commercial Heavy-Duty Market
The SUMOTM family of electric powertrains from TM4 has expanded with the introduction of the new SUMO HP line dedicated to high-power applications.
Guidelines for Cable Installation
The proper installation of a cable is key to maximizing service life and performance, and simple, easy-to-follow guidelines can make the difference between thousands and millions of cycles of service life.
Army Has Developed a New Material for Soldier Protection Systems
Researchers from the U.S. Army and MIT have created a unique experimental device to test the durability of high performance and robust polymeric materials that strengthen when they are under attack.
Inside the Test Lab: The Development, Design and Testing of chainflex® Continuous-flex Cables
In this guide, igus cable experts reveal their tried and true development and testing methods used to create and perfect guaranteed chainflex continuous-flex cables.
Seven Guidelines for Continuous-flex Cables
Cables designed for continuous-flexing last longer when compared to traditional cables because they are specifically designed to stand up to common failure modes.
Compact, Lightweight Pneumatic Valve for Mobile Applications
The valve assists with precise positioning of tools mounted on robot arms and delivers a minimal switch-on time of 9 milliseconds.
3 Reasons to Use PCB Panel Routing Techniques
Most PCBs are individually routed — meaning they’re not panelized. That doesn't mean that, sometimes, sending them to a PCB assembler in a panel isn't a good idea or even required.
Rumco: Empowering Innovation, Engineering Value
Rumco is a domestic manufacturer of a full line of cold-headed products including captive screws and bolts, specializing in the manufacture of SEMS type products captivated washers on screws, which can add value to your bottom line by reducing the need for multiple purchase orders, receivers, and lost time on the production line.
Objects Able to "Talk" Using Stereophonic Device
Ever imagine what objects would say if they could speak? Well wonder no more thanks to researchers at NEC Corporation who have designed an acoustic augmented reality technology that gives a “voice” to typically voiceless objects for wearers of specially-designed wireless earphones.
HyClamp Hygienic Gaskets for Demanding Applications
In food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing plants there are many parts that must be connected together with pipework. Hygienic design of these connections is imperative to allow proper cleaning, to maintain aseptic conditions.
Constant Force Springs – Applications Beyond the Point of Purchase Market
Everything from design to testing to production is done in-house at Maryland Precision Spring.
Technology for a Safer Football Game
A new nanocomposite smartfoam could help to measure impacts sustained while playing football, helping coaches to make sound decisions about player health.
Researchers Found a Way to Stop Ice Build Up By Cracking It
A research team at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is working with a new approach to prevent ice buildup by cracking it.
Spring Tolerances: An Often Overlooked Design Consideration
Most design engineers are surprised to learn, though, that springs use a different set of tolerances than machine-based tolerances.
Wärtsilä Floats Hybrid Tug Designs
Diesel-mechanical hybrid and diesel-electric hybrid propulsion systems offer reduced emissions and maintenance.
Hi-Performance Fastening Systems’ MAThread® Option Brings Level of Ease to Any Application
These fastening systems have an anti-cross threading feature, and there are various styles of point options for customers to choose from with all head styles available.
