Thermal management applications such as heat sinks, electronics enclosures, leak tight liquid cold plates etc. require characteristics such as high thermal conductivity, low porosity, leak tightness, and the ability to fabricate thin walls and tall fins.
The replacement of ball bearings is part of typical maintenance schedules when it comes to electric motors. However, when a German MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) provider was tasked recently with performing regular overhauls of electric drives for a prominent customer, a frequently recurring problem was noted: newly installed standard bearings would fail after three or four months.
Visitors to Agritechnica 2015 (Hanover, 10-14 November) will witness the debut appearance of NSK rolling bearings designed purposely for the agriculture industry. Central to the NSK exhibit will be ‘Agri Disc Hubs’ – ready-to-install units deployed in soil tillage machinery such as compact disc harrows, seed drills and strip-till equipment.
Version 2.5 of EPLAN Harness proD has been released. In combination with EPLAN Platform's central parts management system, users benefit from continuous and optimized workflows. A wide range of enhancements for nail board design, cable routing and project management guarantee effective wire harness engineering.
In the new Release 10 of Softing's Diagnostic Tool Set, alongside an increase in performance and the extended simulation engine, among other things, the focus is very much on heavy-duty diesel vehicles, the coding of ECU variants as well as Diagnostics over IP. Evaluation packages are available for DoIP and J1939.
NSK has released an updated version of its rolling bearings catalogue. Featuring all recently introduced products, the publication has been revised with customers in mind, and represents an essential guide to rolling bearings for engineers and specifiers across all sectors of manufacturing and machine building.
Gone are the days when mills depended on a strong stream of water or steady wind to power their wheels. In today’s mills, electric drives carry out various tasks, ensuring efficient and reliable performance. A special challenge lies in the fact that grinding is bound to create dust atmospheres that call for safe, explosion-proof drive configurations. The manufacturer NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has decades of experience in the industry and, drawing on a complete range of mechanical, electric, and electronic drive components, can swiftly provide suitable systems for any of the various applications in a grain mill, for instance fans and bucket elevators.
