• Seeds of change
  with roller bearings. A ring of injectors around the outside of the turbo would spray alcohol into the inlet wheel before it was forced into the engine. "This was costly, and a service problem because the turbo was separate from the engine," says Bisco. "Also, it was a maintenance issue because...
• Magnalube-G Case Study: Wheel Bearings (.pdf)
  CASE STUDY. "I only change out the grease once a year now. instead of 2 or 3 times per season.". - Johnny Dean. Johnny Dean regularly hauls his offshore boat over 250 miles from Alabama to Florida via a trailer. attached to the back of his truck. Thus, for every round trip he takes...
• Capacitance Sensor System: How a Small Electric Field Can Save You Big Money
  supplier of automotive parts producing spindle components for some of the world’s top automakers. Defective spindles can cause a number of problems for these automakers, especially in terms of wear and tear of connected parts like bearings, wheel hubs, steering arms, and tie rods. Depending...
• A hydraulically powered bike
  the rear wheel lose all grip and spin excessively. And minor modifications to the piston and bearings improve internal efficiency. The hydraulic pump fits neatly ahead of the rear suspension, below the carburetor and above the gearbox. It is chain driven by the gear output shaft so rotation speed...
• Run-out Accuracy of Toolholders
  Developers and designers have probably been dealing with the topic of roundness ever since the wheel was invented. Long gone are the times when poor run-out could be detected with the naked eye. SCHUNK GmbH & Co. KG Spann- und Greiftechnik. Company. News. Products. Service. Contact. Click...
• Abrasive Paper
  gripping cylinders to keep the center of gravity directly beneath the hoist. *?Adjustable jaw positioning allowed a variety of different roll diameters to be handled with relatively short jaws travel. *?Bearings and an assist wheel allow the rolls to be turned 90 degrees. A scale was mounted on one arm...
• Precise moves depend on ball-screw threads
  approach. How a screw is manufactured can significantly influence its precision and material properties, especially fatigue resistance. Lead deviation, bearing journal run-out (or concentricity with the ball tracks), thread roundness, lead wobble, profile tolerances, and surface roughness all...
• FEA for the factory
  Designers simulate manufacturing processes to get parts right the first time. A simulation predicts porosity in an aluminum-wheel casting. The black area in the top wheel shows where the metal is more solid than liquid. The gray area in the bottom wheel shows where the metal is 100% solidified...
• Mach madness
  seemed a no-brainer. They'd just take the wingless 1950's fighter, slap a simple but reliable five-wheel suspension under it, and then find and install a version of the aircraft's original jet engine. After all, the airframe and skin, as well as the engine, were designed for Mach 2.2. How hard could...
• Tracking down the best Geometry
  on Cannondale's Gemini model lets the rear wheel move vertically. Graphing its path requires calculating its instantaneous center. The optimization window in the Behavioral Optimization software from MechSoft.com shows how to set up a simple problem. The input variables are X and Y and with a range...
