On 23rd November 2021, Getzner Werkstoffe, the world’s leading specialist in vibration protection, will launch Sylocraft, a new product range whose primary function is to enable small components to be manufactured in a commercially viable manner. Advantages for the customer are that the injection-moulded components can be shaped as required, dampen noise and vibrations, last longer than rubber, and are also visually attractive. What, for example, do manufacturers of HVAC equipment, white (…)

Each time the Perseverance Mars Rover collects or handles rock and regolith samples in Jezero Crater during its multiple-year mission on the surface of the red planet, key components from SKF will facilitate that those activities successfully take place. Enabling the Mars Rover’s core operations in the harsh environment on Mars are Kaydon RealiSlim thin-section ball bearings, designed and manufactured by SKF at the company’s global thin-section bearing engineering center in Muskegon, and (…)

From 23 to 27 April 2018 Eisele will have its first exhibit at Hannover Messe. The specialist for high-quality solid metal connection components will focus on the new rotary connector as well as coolant connections for applications in power electronics and electrical engineering. With the MULTILINE E Eisele will also present a unique modular kit system for individually configurable multiple and multi-media connectors. With the LIQUIDLINE Eisele offers a comprehensive line of push-in (…)

Eisele has developed a ball bearing rotary connector. This new addition to series 14 of the Eisele BASICLINE can rotate freely around its own axis. The new rotary connector offers a solution for conveying compressed air from a rigid component to a rotating component. Eisele developed a new ball bearing rotary connector that conveys compressed air of -0,9 to 16 bar from a rigid component to a rotating component The new rotary connector, which is designed for an operating pressure range of (…)

Panasonic presents innovative flexible batteries that withstand bending and twisting with no loss of function. At electronica 2016 Panasonic will present innovative, highly flexible Lithium-ion batteries: they can withstand repeated bending with a radius of 25 mm or twisting with a maximum angle of 25 degrees, with no loss of function. The batteries are extremely thin with a height of only 0.55 millimetres, which makes them ideal for use in smartcards and wearable devices. The (…)

In the automotive industry, steel continues to be the most important material by far. To further optimize steel machining processes in this industry, Sandvik Coromant has developed GC4305, an insert that offers both extremely high metal removal rates and stable conditions. With its outstanding performance at high cutting data and its dry machining capability, it offers companies the benefit of reduced cycle times and lower costs per component. Cutting tool and tooling systems specialist (…)

Where maximum precision and processing reliability are required in minimal space, the MINISLIDE miniature tables offer outstanding solutions. These new-generation Schneeberger miniature guideways are also extremely rigid and provide a high level of smoothness. Problematic cage creep is completely eliminated or at least reduced significantly. The MINISLIDE miniature guideways are available in two designs, MSQ and MS, with rail widths of between 4 and 15 mm and with different strokes. All of (…)

Known for innovation, Swiss firm Schneeberger AG Lineartechnik is currently developing a new positioning and movement system that will bear the name Double Gantry. Initial tests and analyses prove that speed of positioning can be almost doubled in applications such as wafer production. The Double Gantry should be on the market from mid-2014. Mobile telephones, tablets, laptops and many other, routine electronic products are becoming ever more efficient and/or smaller. This is due to the (…)

The innovative piping system Eisele Alu Pro 30 with screw connections for metal pipes is the first product line of the new Pipingline. The modular system for fixed pipe connections of the compressed air supply for assembly lines sets new standards in every respect for the distribution of compressed air, gases and fluids. Compressed air offers numerous benefits: it is clean and simple to use, flexible in application and easy to regulate. A new compressed air system from Eisele Pneumatics (…)

Hannover Messe day three - I’ve just discovered the Eichenberger new lead screws in aluminium. Amazing, those weight a third of normal steel parts and offers the same functions (and more). Lightweight design has become one of the key future technologies in the aerospace, automotive and mechanical engineering fields and companies will be happy to learn that there are actually solutions allowing them to keep that pace. Material versatility recognised Aluminium is the most-used metallic (…)
