The stainless-steel couplings are made with a highly chemical- resistant elastomer element press fit between precision-mounted coupling halves, which make for no backlash and guaranteed concentricity. The inserts come in four different Shore hardnesses for different damping and torque rigidity needs. The inserts are heat treated with no inconsistencies on the surface area in contact, offering better rotational positioning accuracy. The couplings' tight concentricity tolerance in the overall design offer a high torque density and smooth running. They are useful in packaging, food processing, semiconductor and other applications requiring frequent cleaning or exposure to the elements. They come in nine different sizes with torque capacities ranging from 2 Nm (17.7 lbs/inch)-2150 Nm (19,027 lbs/inch) and can take English or metric bores in the 3- to 80-mm range.
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.
