New developments in LED cooling technology
The quest to keep high-performance LEDs cool is putting a focus on thermal-management techniques and the manufacturing methods used to make them. One parameter has stayed the same as light-emitting diodes have begun lighting up rooms and taking over other tasks once dominated by incandescent bulbs -...

Belt-tension meter
The New Generation SM5 universal tension meter measures the Hertz frequency of all belt types, regardless of the belting and tension-member material. The meter provides a belt-frequency reading of 7 to 450 ±5 Hz. Belt pretensioning maintains tension at all times by eliminating belt under or o...
Valveless, ceramic pumps
The PDS-100 Programmable Dispensing System uses valveless pumping that accurately delivers gearbox lubricating grease, independent of viscosity, at pressures low enough to prevent seal damage to the gearbox. The unit comes in both single and dual-channel configurations. Dispense and metering rates r...
