Diameter for factory-wide air distribution plumbing is sized with increased future demands in anticipation. Additionally, the pipes accumulate scales and specks of dust on the internal walls from long-term usage and the flow efficiency will be reduced. For these reasons, ...
On factory floors, compressed air is often perceived as free, therefore, compressed air plumbing design may be somewhat neglected. However, the quality of plumbing designs largely affects the air quality and air pressure losses, causing machine operation instabilities. Here, compressed ...
INTRO TO LINEAR GUIDES – ACCURACY GRADES #3 | MECH MINUTES | MISUMI USA In today’s session of “Mech Minutes”, we will be demystifying another topic related to Linear Guides, accuracy grades. When designing with linear guides it is important ...
In our last post on the spring series, we examine energy absorption, natural frequency, and the surging phenomenon. When you apply a load on the spring, deflection (deformation) occurs in accordance with Hooke’s law. (See [Fig.1].) When you quickly release ...
We’ve been introduced to materials and characteristics of springs. Let’s dive into helical springs more deeply specifically compression and extension springs. Their load deflection relationships will be evaluated for both. Load-Deflection Relationship for Helical Compression Springs When the load on ...
As we have been introduced to springs, as promised, it is time to dive into the types of spring shapes and load-deflection characteristics. Learning about these characteristics can help you narrow down your design decision on the use of springs. ...
When one thinks of the word “spring” perhaps they think of the season, the season in which we have a reprieve from the wintry tundra of winter. “Spring” can also be a place where water wells up from the underground ...
The European Union (EU) member states have long been interested in resolving environmental problems and promoting the movements of regulating harmful substances contained in telecommunication equipment and computer products. Accordingly, they issued the Directive on the Restriction of the use ...
Engineers are methodical and logical beings with the intelligence to back up their reasoning. They are influential in the greatest of innovations and are pushing the boundaries for new technologies today. In this post, we realize that engineers are a ...
In the simplest of terms, products are generally made by functionally assembling various parts. Product design and assembly/production technology enabling stable product quality at low cost (in other words, products that are easy to make) are key to this assembly ...
