EDT Corp has added Type E bearings to its Solution line of severe service bearings. Type E Solution bearings have high load capacity and the same dimensional footprint of industry-standard Type E tapered roller bearings along with the advantages of being fully non-corrosive and completely grease-less. Type E Solution bearings are constru
A thermo-mechanical model of a splash lubricated one-stage gear unit is presented. This system corresponds to a first step towards the design of a hybrid vehicle gearbox that can operate up to 40,000 rpm on its primary shaft. The numerical model is based on the thermal network method and takes into account power losses due to teeth frict
In most applications, gearbox reliability is critical to the productivity of the overall plant operation. So it follows that when industry is looking at the best ways to increase efficiency, reduce downtime, and increase profitability, gearbox performance and reliability are key factors. Designing for repair, and writing effe
The ball screw drive is an assembly that converts rotary motion to linear motion and vice versa. The ball screw drive consists of a ball screw and a ball nut with recirculating ball bearings (Fig. 1). The connection between the screw and the nut is made by ball bearings that roll in the matching forms in the screw and
Machine builders strive to achieve the right balance of functionality, performance, price, durability, energy consumption and other attributes that will enable their products to excel against the competition. In the past, OEMs designed their machines around readily available standard components or had to add the cost and de
Learning about the operation and maintenance of any important asset is the first step in optimizing its performance and reliability. This task is made easier when the participants have the opportunity to get a hands-on training for pumps and inspect the components in person. Sulzer’s training courses give customers the opport

While metal-to-plastic parts conversion actually began way back in the Fabulous Fifties, think toys, household products, etc., it is only in more recent years that plastic conversion has gained a firm foothold in the more strength- and lifetime-demanding applications such as aerospace, under-the-hood automotive, motors, valves, bearings
The Air Force Science & Technology 2030 strategy is creating new opportunities for academia, large and small businesses, and other laboratories to turn their ideas into game-changing capabilities. The Air Force will restructure its science and technology portfolio and management processes to enhance and
Experienced operators can often tell if a machine is not working properly, on the basis that it does not â˜sound right.â™ The same principle can be applied â” using modern electronics â” to identify the exact cause of the problem. Sensitive accelerometers can detect and analyze the vibrations from industrial equipment, hi
The manufacturing process begins in a limestone quarry. Mining methods such as ripping, dozing, drilling and blasting are commonly employed. Limestone provides the first essential component, calcium, for the anufacture of cement. Materials are transported to the crushing plant for further size reduction. Common methods of tra
