Over the past 40 years, Acrison has established itself as an industry’s authority in dry bulk solids handling, specifically the precision metering of dry solid ingredients by volume or weight and the closely related proportioning, blending, storage and hoppering of these materials.
Thermoplastic elastomers are available today in a wide variety of grades to suit both general and specialist requirements
The demand in the industrial sector is expanding beyond Europe’s borders. Rubber and plastics specialist ContiTech possesses networked knowledge of the industry thanks to a wide range of developments and applications worldwide. Mario Töpfer reports.
Sputtering is a vacuum process used to deposit very thin films on substrates for a wide variety of commercial and scientific purposes.
Competitive machining of stainless steel today needs the right combination of productivity and reliability.
Wind turbines must operate efficiently if their benefits are to be maximised.
When space is limited in an application, engineers have specified wave springs to reduce springs heights. Wave springs have been used in most industries to save space, reduce assembly size, assembly cost and the overall weight of an assembly.
Hexcel Corporation is a leading developer and manufacturer of high-performance reinforcement products, composite materials and composite structures for use in commercial aerospace, space and defence, electronics, and industrial applications.
Airbus’s fly-by-wire technology puts high demands on the plane’s seals; more wear and tear, and a need to withstand higher temperatures. Trelleborg has developed advanced seals, with a 25-year life-span, to meet this challenge.
Composites account for around one-quarter of the weight of the new Airbus A380 commercial airliner, but future aircraft are likely to use twice as much.
The ongoing trend to miniaturise increases the demand for small and compact damping devices. The answer is the use of miniature shock absorbers.
Ken Massett outlines the advantages of spiral retaining rings over standard circlip rings.
Significant enhancements to a broad range of engineering and thermoplastic materials have been introduced over the past few years. This article focuses on two types of innovations, a range of new high flow specialised thermoplastics, and a look at aesthetics. A Oosterlaken, B. Havenith and H G Schoot report.
