A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Silverteam and Frontier Pitts develop Terragate from
Silverteam, which we summarised at the time by saying "Silverteam has revealed how it worked with Frontier Pitts to develop the Terragate, a heavy duty gate capable of sliding shut in seconds.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Bevel gearboxes come in plastic packages from
Ondrives/Rino Industries: "Rino Industries has a new series of bevel gearboxes, available with both single and double output shafts.".
In June 2008, we covered the news from Rexnord UK
- take a look at Chain project boosts bridge reliability
which says: "Four geomet-coated Rexnord Laschenkette 64-1 SHBK chains need to support a load of up to 13 tonnes.".
Take a look also at the news release from Renold Clutches and Couplings, Manufacturer returns to Cardiff roots,
as well as Robust chain survives irrigation use from Rexnord UK,
and Instrument upgrades ease belt configuration from Schaeffler (UK).
