‘Dimensional Tolerances’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Pitch gears with intelligent shaft sealing from Freudenberg Simrit LP, which we summarised at the time by saying "Simrit has developed a radial-shaft seal system featuring a leakage sensor that allows for telediagnosis of the shaft seal and automatically sends a signal when the seal's wear limit is reached. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release BNS inspects British Energy AGR stations from BNS Nuclear Services: "Increasing graphite core inspection requirements has led to a British Energy review of how to approach the inspection of its AGR reactor channels without extending reactor outages. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Royal Products - take a look at Royal Products tools incorporate quality steels which says: "Royal Products is offering its Live Centers range of tools incorporating high-quality steels, bearings and seals. ".

Take a look also at the news release from MiniTec UK, MiniTec catalogues feature conveyor systems, as well as Conductive compounds reduce static noise from RTP Company, and Guide advises on mounting and dismounting bearings from Schaeffler (UK).
