‘O-Rings’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release DC motors engineered for transportation purposes from Ametek Technical and Industrial Products, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rotron brushless DC motors from Ametek, engineered for applications on board heavy-duty transit buses, coaches and other vehicles, deliver long-life power solutions serving up to 60,000 hours.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Hepcomotion rings produced in dedicated cell from Hepcomotion: "Hepcomotion is able to supply single-piece rings in diameters up to 1.8m, which are produced in a dedicated machining cell, giving improved lead times. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Schaeffler (UK) - take a look at FAG Dtect prevents power-turbine failure at Corus which says: "An FAG Dtect X1 online vibration-monitoring system has prevented the failure of a steam turbine at a Scunthorpe Corus plant, and in doing so has saved thousands of pounds in lost power generation.".

Take a look also at the news release from HBM GmbH, HBM torque flange has measuring range from 200Nm, as well as SDI torque pickup has internal digital data link from Sensor Developments, and Rotary encoders provide 1nm and 2nm resolutions from Renishaw.
