Probably one of the most widely used components, bearings find use in a variety of applications. In particular, bearings serve machines or devices that move, enabling rotation while reducing stress caused by friction. That being said, this blog will provide a brief overview of bearing parts, allowing you to better understand their design and functionality.
Conveyor systems are a form of mechanical handling equipment that move materials from one location to another. Beyond using them to move products, conveyors can also be used to create buffers and deliver products in sequence for a production line. As they are used for a variety of operations, there are a few conveyor variations. The most common types include belt, roller, and chain conveyors, all of which are categorized by their floor style and mounting position.
A push-pull connector is a type of cable that locks, providing a fixed mating system that can only be loosened by compressing the connector body. These components only require an axial force to engage and disengage, rendering rotational force unnecessary. In this blog, we will provide a brief overview of push-pull connectors, their applications, and how they work.
A transformer rectifier unit (TRU) is an electronic device that contains thyristors or diodes within the same tank and aids in voltage regulation. Additionally, transformer rectifiers are used to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) through a process called rectification. As transformer rectifiers are complex instruments, this blog will cover some of their basic features, working principles, and various types.
Aircraft maintenance is an important procedure, ensuring that such vehicles are well-looked over for any potential issues that may detract from performance, airworthiness, and general safety. As some aircraft may be large and complex, the maintenance procedure has become more robust. With increases in technology, devices such as drones have been introduced to the maintenance procedure, allowing for various increases in efficiency. In this blog, we will discuss the introduction of drone surveillance systems, allowing you to better understand the role that they have begun to undertake in regard to aircraft maintenance.
