This unique linear actuator was designed exclusively for patient handling applications such as lifting devices, stretchers, and multipurpose tables. The completely self-contained unit consists of a pump, reservoir, cylinder, and valve, with no external hoses or fittings. This design makes for an incredibly easy installation with minimal maintenance requirements. In addition, the robust actuator system has high structural rigidity. Features of the compact system include: quiet and smooth operation, one-hand operation, and dependable load holding capability--a prerequisite for any kind of patient handling application. The unit's stroke length ranges from 10 to 14 inch (250 to 350 mm) with a maximum lift capacity of 1,350 lb (6N). The pump plunger diameter is 0.55 inch (14 mm); main plunger diameter is 0.87 inch (22 mm); and the main plunger end is 0.48 inch (12.2 mm). Pump stroke is 35 deg. Power-Packer (F) Product Code 4356
Almost every automaker has had to 'pick a side' when it comes to alternative fuel options and ways to divest from a reliance on gasoline. Fiat is looking to back compressed natural gas or liquid propane as an interim solution.
Designing and filling a new type of water bottle might take less engineering work, but the description will help kids understand how science, math, and engineering influence their lives even through things that seem mundane.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
