  • Make It Last: Maximizing the Service Life of Industrial Air and Spring Actuated Friction Clutches and Brakes
    Determining how long a friction clutch or brake will last has much to do with application. Cycle rates, revolutions per minute and the air pressure required to produce the torque to drive or stop the load are just a few of the considerations. Assuming the unit has been properly sized
  • Selecting a Wrap Spring Clutch/Brake for Optimal Performance and Long Service Life
    Clutches and brakes are among the most critical elements of many motion control systems. The. two most widely used types of clutches are electro mechanical friction and wrapped spring. When selecting a clutch, electro mechanical friction types usually come to mind first, but the. frequently
  • Quieting Impact and Vibration (.pdf)
    assembled and packaged, so they generated inconsistent force and unpredictable behavior. Then a tapered ring system was developed: These friction springs (as they are now called) were originally developed for use as primary railway buffers. Engineers stacked these tapered rings and found that they could
  • Slotted Pin Inflexibility Leads to Failure
    A "Spring Pin" is appropriately named by its ability to flex into a hole that is smaller than the pin's original (pre-installed) outside diameter. A Spring Pin's tendency to return to its original shape after installation makes the pin self retaining. Retention is established by friction between
  • Hole Preparation for Press Fit Pins
    Press fit pins are retained in an assembly by the frictional forces between the pin and its mating host component. These forces are a product of the coefficient of friction between the mating materials/coatings, and the interference fit between the pin and its host component. This paper addresses
  • PAT in Perspective: Safe? Yes. Effective? Not So Much.
    Pharmacopoeia plans to list specific functionality related characteristics (FRCs) in its excipient monographs next spring. The tests will be non-mandatory. There may also be a General Chapter concerning FRCs addressing theses tests where they appear in monographs. My humble opinion
  • An Exhaust Solution for Controlled Environments
    product mixing, tableting, spray coating, drying (which creates particulate fines through airstream abrasion or contact friction) and even packaging. Mixed-flow impeller systems can offer substantial energy savings if they are equipped with heat recovery modules consisting of glycol/water-filled coils
  • Minimize Dust Explosion Hazards
    are particularly important because they determine a powdered material's sensitivity to various ignition sources such as hot surfaces, electrical or frictional sparks. The lower the MIE and MIT values, the more dangerous the powder. Because pharmaceutical products and intermediates tend to be unique materials
