These new anti-backlash nuts are designed to last long with little maintenance. They are specially designed, using Haydon's own self-lubricating polyacetal and rolled 303 stainless screw material, to offer low drag torque and smooth operation for the life of the assembly, all on a single lubrication. It can even run dry when used with Haydon screws covered with the company's Black Ice™ PTFE coating process, which eliminates the usual flaking problems with other PTFE coatings. Haydon developed its own, patent-pending way of preloading the threaded nut halves, maximizing system stiffness and reducing drag torque. Its design compensates for wear while eliminating lockup problems when traveling from worn to unworn areas of the screw. They can work with Haydon's current line of linear actuators or by itself with Haydon's selection of acme leadscrews.
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.
