Aerospace bearings: where did it all begin?
According to Report Linker, the aerospace market is expected to grow from $9.6bn in 2021 to $17.7bn by 2026, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. From personal flying vehicles to a greener aerospace, it’s clear the aerospace sector is developing fast — but where did it all begin? Here, Chris Johnson, Managing Director ofSMB Bearings, has explored a brief history of bearings in the aerospace sector.
Maritime traffic monitoring microsatellite launched with KONGSBERG technology
KONGSBERG technology is set to play a pivotal role in the working life of a recently-activated microsatellite. The Norwegian Space Agency’s new NorSat-3, launched on April 29th, 2021 from Vega Flight VV 18 which took off from the European spaceport in Kourou, French Guyana, will be used by the Norwegian Coastal Administration for monitoring maritime traffic in Norway’s busy seaways. Its AIS and NRD (Navigation Radar Detector) payload ...
igus module boosts predictive maintenance
igus has developed a new predictive maintenance device, a new home for the software to power its smart plastics products – thei.Cee:localmodule. The module calculates the remaining service life of the energy chain, cable, linear guide and/or plain bearings during their operation. By doing this, the service life of the system can be optimised, faults are detected and rectified at an early stage, and more accurate maintenance can be planned i...

GaN RF boosted by monolithic microwave integrated circuit
Satellite communication systems use complex modulation schemes to achieve the fast data rates required to deliver video and broadband data. To attain this, they must deliver high RF output power while simultaneously ensuring the signals retain their desired characteristics. The newGMICP2731-10 GaN MMICpower amplifier announced by Microchip Technology helps meet the requirements of GaN RF.
Duo collab to provide electronic beam forming technology
Analog Deviceshas announced a collaboration with MDA to deliver the Beam Forming Integrated Circuit (BFIC) to be used in MDA’s sophisticated phased array antenna for the Telesat Lightspeed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation. Telesat Lightspeed, initially comprised of 298 next-generation satellites, is planned to launch in the second half of 2023 and will redefine global broadband connectivity for commercial, government and defenc...
