The Simplicity self-lubricating linear plain bearings are built to last, and they will often out-perform and last longer than a traditional linear ball bearing. Called the “little red bearing” by loyal customers, they have been a popular replacement for failing ball bearings. Simplicity plain bearings will not catastrophically fail.
A wide range of standard and custom shaft collars, couplings, and mounting devices that are suited for use in robotic systems and equipment have been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp. of Wilmington, MA. Stafford shaft collars, couplings and mounting components include one- and two-piece shaft collars, the Staff-Lok hinged collars which open-close easily by hand, micro-adjustable collars, rigid couplings, precision sleeve couplings and adapters.
With its newly designed large-ring test bench for shaft seals, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is strengthening its position as an innovation leader in the development and validation of high-performance seals for wind turbines, tunnel boring machines, and other heavy industry applications.
AMMEGA Group, a global provider of belting solutions for conveying and power transmission, released its 2024 Sustainability Report detailing progress toward the company’s environmental, social, and governance objectives, as well as the implementation of the UN Global Compact’s Ten Principles. Honoring a commitment to building a more resilient, balanced, and future-proof industrial ecosystem, AMMEGA has diverted more than 179 tons of waste material from landfill, turning it into new belts.
AMMEGA Group, global provider of belting solutions for conveying and power transmission, announces the launch of its Belting Technology Connect Program. Available to customers in the Americas, the BTConnect program is a year-round vehicle for AMMEGA’s belting experts to deliver customizable technical seminars on belting optimization shaped by customer needs. The new program was inspired by the company’s bi-annual live Belting Technology Conference (BTC) event, whose latest edition was this May in Braselton, GA, attracting more than 200 attendees from approximately 35 companies across the Americas.
Yellow metals such as bronze, copper, and brass are often overlooked in the quest for corrosion protection because they do not corrode as easily as less noble metals such as steel and zinc. However, that does not mean they are irrelevant or immune to corrosion. Cortec reminds formulators why selecting corrosion inhibiting additives such as M-235 and M-236 for yellow metals can be an important piece to solving the corrosion puzzle.
Siemens has been supporting Sachsenmilch Leppersdorf GmbH in Germany – one of the most modern milk processing plants in Europe – on its path toward developing a cutting-edge predictive maintenance system. Siemens'AI-powered solution, Senseye Predictive Maintenance, helps Sachsenmilch ensure continuous operation 365 days a year following strict quality standards.
Sometimes corrosion is attractive. For example, the vivid colors on titanium jewelry are oxides, with the color difference the result of the oxide thickness and the refracted light. Also, from an artistically oriented viewpoint, the golden-brown appearance of many of the new high-voltage towers made from ASTM A 242 (Corten) steel is more appealing than their bright galvanized cousins, and that “pleasing brown color” is a tightly bonded coating of rust. But most of the time, and in several ways, corrosion presents difficulties that can greatly shorten the life of mechanical equipment.
The threat of corrosion caused from wet or chemical applications is no match for ATRA-FLEX® Nitrocarburized Couplings from U.S. Tsubaki. Learn more about how to significantly improve the lifespan and performance of critical components, providing both cost savings and enhanced reliability.
In KISSsoft, 97 (yes, ninety-seven!) plastics are available for calculation of cylindrical and crossed axis helical gears. The materials range from unreinforced POMs and PAs to high performance reinforced and internally lubricated materials.
Elgeti Engineering once again is offering its online bearing seminars for Spring 2023. Special packages are available for online 90-minute sessions.
Cortec Corporation is pleased to announce the development of its latest VCI film and bag technology: CorShield VpCI-220E. The new formula not only offers improved corrosion protection but also includes 30 percent post-consumer recycled content.
The S-series hydraulic motors from Black Bruin are designed for demanding recycling applications with direction changes and shock loads, which can be hard on shredders and their rotors. The power of the S-series helps handle varied and inconsistent waste material effortlessly and clears jams with ease
The latest in control technology from Sulzer allows pumping stations and wastewater treatment facilities to talk to each other, providing a better picture of real-time conditions and enabling smarter, more proactive management of the whole network.
The range and flexibility of lubrication and sealing technologies continues to expand as companies look to scale down production times while increasing productivity. The industry is focused on environmental impact, automation and compact systems. Here’s just a few of the latest technologies in the industrial market:
Stainless steel ASK Couplings from Miki Pulley feature a unique “sliced” body structure making them an effective low-cost corrosion resistant solution that can accommodate many types of misalignments. The stainless-steel design makes them ideal for use in food and chemical applications.
NORD’s nsd tupH sealed surface treatment is available as an option with a variety of their modular products and provides an easy to clean surface suited for harsh processing and manufacturing environments.
A flagship coupling in the Huco range, the Oldham solves the problem of side forces due to misalignment. Misalignment couplings that bend or flex do cause some side loading on bearings and shafts as the coupling tries to spring back. Of course, over prolonged use this can result in rapid deterioration of bearings, extra load on the motor, and eventual coupling fatigue.
