Lin Engineering's new 4518 NEMA 17 stepper motors are designed exclusively with the company's patent-pending Signature Series technology and are the new and improved version of Lin's 4118 motors. The 4518 series is available in three different stack lengths starting with the 4518S at 1.34 inch in thickness and the 4518L measuring in at 1.89 inch. Depending on the stack length, these motors are capable of producing up to 83 oz-inch of holding torque. The new series is suggested for use in applications where size is a factor and load capacities are critical to precision system operation. Industries currently benefiting from the features of this motor in their applications are medical, printing, imaging, optical and robotics. Lin's Signature Series was developed to help reduce system resonance and provide overall smooth motion. Depending on the application, using motors with the Signature Series technology may result in up to 50 percent less resonance being produced.
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.
