INTRO TO LINEAR GUIDES – CLEARANCE SELECTION #4 | MECH MINUTES | MISUMI USA In today’s session of “Mech Minutes”, we will break down another topic related to Linear Guides, clearance selection. This video will focus on selection of a ...
Progressive stamping for Elevated Temperature Environments Progressive stamping is a very efficient high volume manufacturing process that is able to create complicated parts a single feature at a time from sheet metal by a varied combination of bending, punching, and/or ...
Admit it, engineers pride themselves on their knowledge – whether it’s solving a complex math problem, designing an imaginary application, or obscure car trivia, engineers won’t pass up an opportunity to flex their brain muscles. Well, now you have your ...
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 ...
