How To Control Transformer Sound Noise is an inherent characteristic of the transformer core, but taking the right steps can minimize its impact on overall sound level. . . Learn more Sealed Linear Encoders with Single-Field Scanning Sealed linear encoders, protected from dust, chips, and splash fluids, are ideal for use on machines and systems with harsh operating environments, subject to contamination. . . Learn more The 'Hard Fastener Facts' For Clinching Into Stainless A prevalent misconception is that all stainless self-clinching fasteners will perform as intended in all stainless sheets. But the relative hardness of fastener and sheet looms as an overriding influence. . . Learn more Fulfilling Your OSHA & NFPA Obligations To Reduce Electrical Hazards Whether it be the result of working conditions, human error, or disregarding safety standards, identifying the cause of disabling electrical contact work-related injuries and deaths is critical. . . Learn more Insulating Ball Bearings from Electric Arc Damage in Electric Motors Ball bearings in electric motors support and locate the rotor, keep the air gap small and consistent, and transfer loads from the shaft to the motor frame. When a stray current in a machine uses a bearing as its path to ground, the resulting damage Learn more Proper Bearing Handling When handling, inspecting, or mounting ball bearings, one should treat them as precision instruments. Poor handling techniques cause most bearing failures. . . Learn more Applying Handheld Test Tools to Predictive Maintenance Unplanned downtime due to equipment failure costs manufacturers up to 3% of their revenue each year. Scheduling downtime for maintenance is much more cost effective and efficient. . . Learn more Slip Ring Technologies: Flat Pancake Style vs Stacked Drum Style Although there are some areas where a flat slip ring is the only possible solution to an existing problem, the drum design has distinct advantages. . . Learn more Encoders for Feed Axes With Direct Drives The benefits of direct drive technology -- low wear, low maintenance, and higher productivity -- are realized only if the control, motor, mechanical elements of the feed axes, and the position encoder are optimally adjusted to one another. . . Learn more Refrigerant Stacking and Carryover in Water-Cooled Chillers Although stacking and carryover occur under similar conditions in a chiller, they can develop together or separately. Learn how to identify and prevent these conditions. . . Learn more |
