Bearing simulation gets real
. Instrumented bars are split in half axially to boost signal strength and better mechanically isolate the two bar sides. The cage slips on a low-friction aerostatic spindle and inserts between the bearing inner and outer rings. The model predicts negligible braking torque on the cage from the spindle which...

Magnetic fluids tackle tough sealing jobs
into the vacuum chamber with minimal torque losses. Many industrial applications use relatively simple magnetic-fluid exclusion seals to control volatile emissions and protect sensitive environments. For instance, in textile machinery they protect motor bearings from fibrous contaminants. Machine...

2003 Lincoln Navigator
suspension, echoing that found on its cousin, theFord Expedition, uses cast-aluminum upper and lower-control arms, and a stabilizer bar with grippybushings. A rubber-isolated torque arm links the differential to the frame. The axle halfshafts passthrough elliptical portholes. 2003 Lincoln Navigator | Machine...

Positioning in nanometers
Air bearings and piezo actuators revolutionize the road to super-fine, super-fast movements. Just a few years ago, systems able to position to within 10 min. (10 millionths of an inch) were considered state of the art. Today, the bar has been raised. Companies routinely require the ability...

2002 Lincoln Blackwood
anchored in the lap of luxury. A 5.4-liter, dual-overhead-cam V8 provides 300 hp at 5,000 rpm and 355 lb-ft of torque at 2,750 rpm, giving the 5,700-lb truck adequate get-up-and-go. I had no problem passing semi trucks chugging their way across the curvy Pennsylvania Turnpike. The powerplant links...

A better way to size bolts
stiffness to assign bars and beams, or what axial force to apply to simulate the tightening torque. In addition, if users model just virtual-bolt connections, they would have to manually define the beam and bar elements," says Ramalingam. A caution for do-it-yourselfers. If users feel compelled...

Precise moves depend on ball-screw threads
on hardened bars, either in one step or as a followup to another process such as whirling. Center holes on the bar ends define the axis of symmetry and act as the main reference. This ensures optimal concentricity of all functional surfaces. Steady rests flanking the grinding wheel provide support...

During start-up, very high temperatures will develop around the crack or open bar causing potential damage...
