Advances in microelectronics place high demands on handling systems and their protective components for the safe transport of wafers in clean rooms of semiconductor production. ACE adapted their standard dampers precisely to the tolerance values of each individual axle by computer simulation and in test runs on the own test bench.
The best thing since nuts and bolts For quick & easy locking, no tools needed. One Touch Fasteners provide secure, reliable clamping at the turn of a handle or push of a button. Quickly lock and unlock fixture plates, machine components and more, with no time wasted tightening old-school screws and nuts. Quarter turn, button locking, pin holding types and more are available.
For most design engineers, the following scenario should look familiar: Bob, the lead designer for company X, needs to send a CAD model to Susan, the design engineer for company Y. Bob designed the part using Solidworks and Susan only works in Pro Engineer. Bob’s Solidworks file can’t be opened in Susan’s software, so the simple transfer of a part file has now become a problem. This issue of non-interchangeable proprietary file formats for CAD data has been around for decades.
While many people may not be aware, injection moulding is used to create a whole range of the everyday products we use. The applications of injection moulding take in everything from automotive parts to electrical switches, medical devices to simple plastic lids and much more. Even though there are some restrictions regarding the shapes and complexity of products made using injection moulding, there are many different materials which can be used.
How does a Centrifugal Clutch work? What are the pros and cons?
The centrifugal clutch is a clutch that bases its operation on the principle of centrifugal force generation. It is generally considered one of the smoothest types of clutches as it engages the load to the engine gradually, allowing the engine to reach its optimal torque range before it has to carry any loads. This is why centrifugal clutches are used in applications such as small motorbikes/scooters and go-karts.
