‘Bellows Coupling’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
PCB provides linear motion for abrasive blasting from
PBC Linear, which we summarised at the time by saying "PBC Linear was asked to provide a linear-motion system for the abrasive blasting of fabricated steel that could tolerate extreme environments. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Viscotec devises drive solution for dosage units from
EMS: "Viscotec Pumpen and Faulhaber have devised a drive solution for dosage units on a system that comprises a fast DC drive and high-precision piezo rotary drive, mounted on a common spindle. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Eaton
- take a look at Eaton launches Memshield 3 distribution boards
which says: "Eaton has introduced Memshield 3: a new generation of final distribution boards and associated circuit protection devices for commercial, industrial and public buildings.".
Take a look also at the news release from BETE, Fitting gives free orientation for hydraulic hoses,
as well as Nord subassemblies include gearbox and motor from Nord Drivesystems,
and Nexans adds T-shaped connectors to MV range from Nexans.
