Latest Rotary Fabricating and Die Cutting Systems By Pace Converting Equipment Co., Inc. Utilize CD(R) Couplings and Eliminate Backlash in System Drive Train
of the stations. This can create a harmonic effect through the system creating registration problems.". "After considerable testing, we chose the Zero-Max CD coupling because it has an ability to absorb and dampen any harmonic vibration and backlash in these systems," reports Chrystyna. "Aligned...

Basics of Design Engineering: Hydraulics New Sealing Systems Take the Heat
experience, but undesirable hydrolysis and biofluid resistance. Here's a look at several new urethane and elastomeric blends, how they stack up to current seals, and design trade-offs involved in real-life hydraulic systems. New materials. Several years ago, we developed a proprietary urethane blend...

Zero-Max Composite Disc Coupling Provides Increased Torque Requirements to M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank New Air Filtration System
a rugged composite material. These two features give it the high misalignment capacity of many elastomeric couplings but with higher torsional stiffness. Compared to steel disc couplings, the CD(R) Coupling offers superior damping and isolation of shock and vibrating loads, a very important...

Get Reliable Results From Rubber Test Data
and over time. However, an FEA model is only as good as the material parameters it's based on. Getting good material data can be challenging enough for linear-design purposes, but elastomeric materials complicate matters with nonlinear and viscoelastic behavior. Nonlinearity arises from rotations...

Top Trends Impacting Design Engineers, part 2
technique, called Fluidic Self Assembly (FSA), for attaching chips to plastic substrates. AutoID Center researchers say such bulk processing methods have potential for high yield, low costs, and scalability to massive volumes. The Center is currently testing its RFID system in phases with help from...

Applying the Final Touches
. Perhaps more important than these materials toxicology is their potential to elicit serious immunologic responses, even at minute dosages. Fluorocarbon film protects against extractables Fluorocarbon films provide a barrier to protect the drug product against extractables from the elastomeric material...

Beware Thermal Cycling in Bioprocessing Part 2
sterilized, thermal cycling presents a further problem. When the test manifold was disassembled after thermal cycle testing, wear on the face of the gasket seal was observed. Wear and fretting of the gasket material was probably due to radial expansion and contraction of the gasket during heat-up...

Don't get burned by flame standards
in testing requirements, with some more stringent than others. This disparity poses a potential danger to public safety, particularly in the case of components produced in countries where FST standards are less strict or nonexistent. Countries have unique ways of testing materials and determining...
