An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Split roller bearings used on colliery conveyors from
Revolvo, which we summarised at the time by saying "SRB Split Roller Bearings from Revolvo are being used at the Hatfield Colliery near Doncaster. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Leuze switches offer distances up to 40mm from
Leuze Electronic: "Leuze has expanded its range of high-quality inductive proximity switches, including models with switching distances of up to 40mm. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Autoclave Engineers
- take a look at Liquid pumps designed for oil, water and chemicals
which says: "Autoclave Engineers has designed a group of air-driven, positive-displacement, high-pressure liquid pumps for service with oil, water and chemicals. ".
Take a look also at the news release from TaeguTec UK, Taegutec replaces CT5000 grade with Cermet CT7000,
as well as Accelerometers obtain hazardous-area certification from Wilcoxon Research,
and Pitch gears with intelligent shaft sealing from Freudenberg Simrit LP.
