‘Static Electricity’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release FAG Dtect prevents power-turbine failure at Corus from Schaeffler (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "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.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Centa offers bespoke transmission designs from Centa Transmissions: "Centa Transmissions can create bespoke powertrain designs for wind, wave, tidal and solar power systems.".
 
In November 2009, we covered the news from Ingeliance - take a look at Ingeliance to show aircraft interiors at Aerotech which says: "Ingeliance is exhibiting at the SAE Aerotech Congress and Exhibition in Seattle, Washington, from 10-12 November, 2009, as part of the Aerospace France Pavilion. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Huntsman Advanced Materials, Klingenburg uses Araldite products from Huntsman, as well as Test instruments use linear-motor technology from Instron, and DS refrigerant dryers reduce energy consumption from Boge Compressors.
