Fujipoly’s Sarcon 250G-HF2d thermal interface material is manufactured with a reinforced nylon mesh inner layer and a low-tac surface treatment. This prevent die-cut holes from collapsing and help maintain original specification tolerances during final assembly. These material enhancements also reduce tearing, elongation and damage making your production operations faster and easier.

The asphalt industry presents some considerable challenges for the equipment that is required to process the aggregates (especially in terms of dust) which can cause significant reliability issues. For one maintenance and repair company in France, a large part of the solution was provided by installing higher specification drive chain which delivered greatly improved reliability.

The quarrying and mining industries have some of the most arduous working conditions for plant and equipment, which makes designing a product that will endure the environment and deliver reliable performance a difficult task. With tight margins and continuous production cycles, downtime for maintenance work needs to be kept to a minimum. Derek Mack, UK Sales Director for Tsubaki Europe, looks at the challenges and some possible solutions.

Foruse in offshore, oil, gas and mining wire and cable applications,two UV protected grades of TPUs (Thermoplastic Polyurethanes) have been released byHuntsman. The IROGRAN TPU materials, which arepolyether-based, are designedfor encasing the cables of heavy-duty pieces of equipment. Such cables function in harsh, abrasive and outdoor environments, and are exposed to the elements.

The CAD/CAM software TubeWorks has been enhanced to provide tubular metal fabricators with powerful pre-production tools for laser cutting, as well as tube bending. Available from Unison and devloped by 3DCompound, TubeWorks is a specialist add-in module for the popular SolidWorks mechanical CAD package.

As tracked by market research company IDTechEx and further explained in the recently updated report “Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors: Supercapacitors 2014-2024”, supercapacitors are improving faster than lithium-ion batteries in most respects. A gradual increase in the supercapacitor component and decrease of the battery component is in prospect with IDTechEx forecasting that the global market value for supercapacitors will be...

Imec, Ghent University, and their partners in the European FP7 project SMARTFIBER have demonstrated the world’s first miniaturised fiber-optical sensor system than can be fully embedded in a composite material. This leads the way toward smart composites that enable continued and automatic monitoring of the structural health of the composite material in -for example- tidal blades, wind turbines, airplanes (fuselage, wings) or marine structur...

Owing to thelow-profile rectangular shape, theSynios E4014 from Osram Opto Semiconductors enables light to be injected into light guides so that a wide range of design ideas can be realised.The mid-power light emitting diodes also have an impressively robust plastic package, a very uniform distribution of light, and an excellent price/performance ratio. The LEDs are intended primarily for visually enhancing white goods such as appliances and for ...

Amphenol has today announced a new line of heavy duty medium voltage couplers for use in hazardous environments. Ideal for applications in the mining, utility, tunneling and shore power industries for safe and reliable transfer of electricity throughout a job site, Amphenol’s MVC series couplers vary in voltage from 600 V to 15 kV with amperages up to 600 A.

Foster introduces ProPell thermoplastic polyurethane and polyether block amide compounds for improved manufacturing and handling of medical catheters. These new compounds dramatically reduce tackiness and friction in soft, flexible polymers while maintaining other physical properties of the unmodified polymers.
