‘Rotary Shaft Seals’

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 CNC router reduces time to market from Micromech: "A manufacturer of personal care products has saved money by switching to a low-cost computerised numerical control (CNC) router that can produce point of purchase displays internally.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Emerson Process Management - take a look at Emerson wireless technology monitors pump seals which says: "Samarco has seen a 12 per cent increase in production at its Germano Mine in Mariana, Brazil, with the application of Emerson's Smart Wireless technology. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Centa Transmissions, Centa offers bespoke transmission designs, as well as Viscotec devises drive solution for dosage units from EMS, and Minitec releases News 2009 brochure from MiniTec UK.
