Off Road Plastic Bushings
 For designers of off-road equipment, composites bushings are fast becoming the way to go, giving pneumatic and hydraulic parts a longer life in the worst of working conditions. Not only do these bushings last longer, but they are lighter weight, avoid greasing, and offer enhanced sealing options.

Mechanical Seal Secrets Revealed
 It's no secret that mechanical seals prevent leakage on fluid pumps, but require some modifications to the design of the shaft housing. A primer on the design features, spring loading, assembly options, and additional equipment necessary in flushing coolant systems offers suggestions for replacing packed glands and lip seals.

Silicon Ceramic Seals Challenge Conditions
 Whether in automotive water pumps, oil refineries, or industrial applications, silicon carbide ceramic materials are finding their way into seal face materials. They are suited for corrosive environments and high-temperature and high-pressure applications. The materials' properties out test metal products in hardness, thermal conductivity, and strength.

Spring Material Offers Superelasticity
 In orthodontic applications, have you ever thought of using nickel titanium as the material for coiled springs? How does it compare to stainless steel coils? How does the material work in compression (adjustable force) or distalizing (open/closed) coil springs? Can reducing wire size or a lower force be used in your design?
|
Designing Helical Springs
 To design helical springs, you need to understand the primary spring geometric design parameters. These include: length of unloaded spring, wire and coil diameter, and total number of coils; the possible end treatment, including plain or closed ends; and material selection. This guide offers straight up spring design advice.
