Humphrey's latest cylinders are designed to be shorter, lighter and thinner than those of equal bore and stroke. Their flat pistons make them up to 40 percent thinner, and they have a 35 percent shorter dead stroke due to the block type end cap, which needs no mounting brackets, making for zero stroke dimension. They are light enough to not burden either the actuator axis or the stand, even with a Y-Z axis. They last longer and leak less, using high-strength stainless-steel bands. Lead wires for embedded sensor switches can be drawn out from a single surface through a cap groove on the cylinders' sensor switch tracks. They come with NPT ports and mounting options such as a shock absorber and F-tube supports.
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.
