We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Fatigue Strength",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Thermoplastic polyester elastomer on the piste from
DuPont (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Austrian manufacturer Atomic now uses Hytrel thermoplastic polyester elastomer in the baseplates of its skis".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Choosing the right bearing coating from
Schaeffler (UK): "Dr Steve Lacey, Schaeffler UK Engineering Manager, discusses the importance of selecting the right coating or corrosion-resistant material for rolling bearings operating in harsh environments".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Ondrives/Rino Industries
concerning its Rolled leadscrews and nuts
- take a look at Rolled leadscrews come with wide nut options
which says: "Leadscrew diameters are available from 10 to 120mm and the standard length is 1000mm".
Take a look also at the news release from Schaeffler (UK), Track rollers optimised,
as well as Transducer measures tensile and compressive forces from HBM UK,
and Chains last longer - with no price premium from Tsubakimoto UK.
