‘Rotating Shafts’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Accelerometers obtain hazardous-area certification from
Wilcoxon Research, which we summarised at the time by saying "Wilcoxon Research has announced an additional intrinsically safe certification in accordance with IECEx requirements for six general-purpose accelerometers.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release SKF systems boost uptime of Isis neutron choppers from
SKF UK: "SKF rolling bearings and condition monitoring systems are maximising the uptime of precision devices used in the Isis neutron and muon source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.".
In October 2009, we covered the news from Barden Corporation
- take a look at Barden provides super-precision bearings
which says: "The Barden Corporation offers custom-designed, super-precision bearings for use in a wide variety of high-performance air handling systems. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Schaeffler (UK), Guide advises on mounting and dismounting bearings,
as well as Renishaw TRS2 saves Lamborghini EUR150K a year from Renishaw,
and Torqsense allows Ferrotec to test sealing products from Sensor Technology.
