Spherical roller bearings for wind turbines deliver reliability
The newly developed wind turbine main shaft spherical roller bearings, introduced by SKF, have been manufactured to deliver outstanding reliability.These self-aligning bearings provide exceptional performance and meet service life needs of more than 25 years.
Single row angular contact ball bearings offer optimised reliability
The high performance, long-life bearings range from SKF Explorer now includes an improved single row angular contact ball bearing that delivers a number of benefits for designers and operators of screw compressors, pumps and gearboxes seeking to reduce the total cost of ownership of this equipment through improved reliability and energy efficiency.
UK launch of VERICUT Force announced
Set to launch the latest ‘physics-based’ toolpath optimisation module, CGTech the developer of VERICUTCNC Simulation, Verification and Optimisation software is releasing VERICUT Force, in the UK with a series of nationwide seminars.The Force Roadshow will be a series of half day seminars throughout June and July, kicking off at the Advanced Forming Research Centre, Scotland, on 14th June 2017.
Civil and structural design carried out on new national HVDC centre
The multi-disciplinary design and engineering business, BakerHicks has completed the Civil and Structural Design work for the critically-acclaimed SSE High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Centre.Jamie Hepburn, Scottish Minister for Employability and Training and Member of the Scottish Parliament officially opened the Centre yesterday.
Advanced machining and coil making technologies drive growth
The changes happening in key positions and new technologies are factors that help the growth of Rotary Engineering.Simon Swallow an AEMT Engineering Director, has now taken over the role of Managing Director.
Reverse engineering breathes new life into older pumps
Generally designed to perform long-term, some for decades even, large pumps have a valuable asset that requires periodic maintenance.When the performance of an older pump begins to deteriorate, it may be a sign that the impeller is worn or the volute has become corroded, and by the time this happens, finding new parts can be a considerable challenge. Fortunately, modern design techniques and manufacturing processes can create a vast range of comp...
Exploring the route to greater efficiency
A range of high performance, long-life bearings have been introduced by SKF which now includes an improved single row angular contact ball bearing. The Explorer range delivers a number of benefits for designers and operators of screw compressors, pumps and gearboxes seeking to reduce the total cost of ownership of this equipment through improved reliability and energy efficiency.
NTC temperature elements meet AEC Q200 standard
Now available in Europe through TTI is a series of NTC temperature elements from TDK for a wide range of applications. The design is covering NTC elements with standard lead spacing, minisensor NTCs with flexible wires, glass encapsulated NTC elements for temperatures up to 300°C, as well as leadless NTC chips for bonding - sintering/soldering technology.
Nano-notch sends self-assembling polymers into a spiral
A simple circular or hexagonal pit written into silicon can be used to generate self-assembling polymer spirals thanks to the addition of a tiny notch in the template says scientists in the launch issue of Nano Futures. What's more, they say, modifying the notch’s shape allows users to dial-up the direction of the spiral to generate either left- or right-handed patterns, and even create double spirals.
Metallic 'space fabric' links fashion and engineering
Raul Polit Casillas grew up around fabrics. His mother is a fashion designer in Spain, and, at a young age, he was intrigued by how materials are used for design.Now, as a systems engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, he is still very much in the world of textiles. He and his colleagues are designing advanced woven metal fabrics for use in space.
