The new go-to components for quick & easy locking without the use of tools
One Touch Fasteners provide secure, reliable clamping at the turn of a handle or push of a button. Quickly lock and unlock fixture plates, covers, machine components and more, with no time wasted tightening old-school screws and nuts. Quarter turn, button locking, pin holding and magnetic types are available, as well as full stainless steel versions. Ideal for quick changeover applications.
Magnetic Bearings – The mechanical engineer’s guide
As the name suggests magnetic bearings use magnetic levitation to support the rotating shafts, without directly contacting them, thus there is no friction. As we all know, less friction means less energy wasted and greater overall efficiency. The very first patent relating to the magnetic suspension of rotating elements was submitted in the 1940s. However, the first widespread applications did not occur until the seventies.
Mechanical Designing in the Automotive Industry: A General Outline
While it is easy to find rich, interesting analyses on the way finance companies, law offices and software labs’ inner processes are conducted, little is known about the insides of factories, industrial companies or R&D departments in the mechanical engineering sector. At MDF, we are eager to initiate the public and future mechanical engineers into our domain and give a clearer image of what goes on within our offices.
Have you ever wondered why cars have spoilers or why your hand ‘floats’ when you hang it out the window of a moving car? These mysterious interactions between objects and air have long been studied and are known collectively as aerodynamics. The term aerodynamics comes from two words: aero (air) and dynamics. Dynamics is a branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of a body under the action of forces.
