Thermal gap filler pad provides excellent rebound and reusability
1 day agoThe Chomerics Division of Parker Hannifin, is launching THERM-A-GAP PAD 30RB, a thermally conductive gap filler pad with excellent conformability and rebound characteristics.
Thread grooves with the highest requirements
5 days agoSpace is at a premium in many automotive applications. As a result, less and less installation space is available for bolted connections. At the same time, however, the requirements for preload forces and the reliability of the connections are increasing. And the lowest possible overall connection costs are also important. A new thread-forming screw for direct metal fastening has been developed by ARNOLD UMFORMTECHNIK to meet precisely these challenges.

The battle for space inside the next generation of robots
21 days agoFrom humanoid hands and collaborative robots to autonomous systems and miniature surgical instruments, engineers are being challenged to fit increasing levels of mechanical and electronic functionality into ever smaller spaces. This is where wave spring technology can offer a significant advantage, as the experts at AFC Europe explain.
A guide to external snap rings
30 days agoExternal constant section retaining rings, commonly known as external snap rings, are designed to secure components on a shaft within mechanical assemblies. Installed into a machined shaft groove, the portion of the ring protruding from the groove creates a shoulder that retains components in place. Rotor Clip manufactures constant section snap rings in both external and internal configurations, with this guide focusing specifically on external snap ring designs.
