This coupling variant was designed for machining spindles, flying shears and other applications with shock loads that can't have any backlash. The couplings have conical sleeve hubs for keyless torque transmission in highly dynamic, reciprocating loads. They work well with high-speed applications with frequent load reversals or stops, with no backlash characteristics and a high clamping force and concentricity. They have a positive stop on the conical ring, which ensures clamp screws will tighten to the right torque during installation, but the ring can't be tightened more than needed, so they are much easier to remove from shafting. Sizes range from 10 Nm (89 lbs-inch) to 2150 Nm (19027 lbs-inch), and can take English or metric bores with 6- to 80-mm diameters.
Inforbix is leveraging its CAD and product data access technology to power up a free iPad app that lets mobile users search and access engineering data.
Unlike his friends in engineering programs, blogger Jon Titus had little need for calculus except in a few of his college physical-chemistry labs and classes.
In the wake of the Chevy Volt fire investigations, sales are down, and General Motors' (GM) CEO Dan Akerson is blaming the downturn on a spate of bad publicity.
Thanks to embedded electronics, medical devices are getting smaller and smarter than ever. Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are now able to call physicians. MRIs, CT scanners, and ultrasound machines are gaining mobility. And the venerable Band-Aid may soon be able to detect illnesses ranging from fevers to heart arrhythmias. On February 21, join Design News senior editor Charles Murray for a wide-ranging discussion, "Embedded Angles for Medical Products," which will explore the latest developments in medical electronics. The discussion will examine advances in medical device technology and offer an inside look at the embedded electronics behind it.
