This week we catch up with our friends at MAKEiT, Inc on their project Bigfoot as well as their new technology. Check out how MISUMI Aluminum Extrusion, bearings and shafts gave them the precision they needed to create their 3D printed ...
For our next series of posts, we will be spotlighting MAKEiT Inc., a 3D printing company. 3D printing is a rapidly growing industry so it was only natural to dive into the design of them. In each of these posts, ...
SHAFTS: AN INTRODUCTION | MECH MINUTES | MISUMI USA On the latest series of Mech Minutes, we will be reviewing the features that must be considered when selecting a shaft in your application. Shafts are typically used for three main ...
The relatively new and sometimes confusing world of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) opens up a whole new world of ways for engineers to control the geometry of everything from every day parts to complicated geometric surfaces. GD&T allows the ...
Engineering Fits It seems like even the most basic engineering design decisions can be exceedingly difficult and complex. Almost every mechanical system involves some sort of hole/shaft joint, and an innumerable amount of diverse fits may be specified depending on ...
Question: Dear MISUMI Engineering Team: We are currently building a machine that has several timing shafts that are driven by spur gears, but are having problems determining the correct spacing between the shafts. The shafts are held by bearings mounted ...
Question: Dear Misumi Engineering Team: We have several shafts on one of our machines that need to be removed periodically for maintenance. These shafts are supported with tapered bearings that are locked with a nut. How much torque should we ...
