I was lucky enough to visit the Greater Boston Food Bank, and see how they operate on both their charitable side and their more industrial side. I took some real world vibration measurements from their compressors, and this post describes the basics of how to interpret the data.
Throughout modern industrial times gear systems and belt systems have been the norm in the main stream thinking for power transmission. However, a different type of system, traction drives, have been around for many years and offer significant improvements in efficiency, noise/vibration and simplicity. Traction drives were first invented in the 1800’s, but their benefit could not be realized until today when advancements in manufacturing, materials and fluids made it possible.
Machine automation is entering an era of rapid changes and technological advances, enabling businesses to improve their production efficiency, lower the operational costs, and boost their bottom line.
The motion control system is widely used in various industries in order to develop automated systems. This system encompasses a broad range of components that control motion sequences, enabling the engineering team to control the precise speed, the position, and the torque of the system.
During these cold winter months I warm my living room with a gas fireplace, and I've always been curious about how the heat moves through the room. So, since I have the tools (namely, my company's Slam Stick X Data Loggers), I figured I’d take some recordings, describe my set up, and share what I learned.
Electronic gadgets have become an integral part of our lives. They have made our lives more comfortable and convenient. From aviation to medical and healthcare industries, electronic gadgets have a wide range of applications in the modern world. In fact, the electronics revolution and the computer revolution go hand in hand.
Most gadgets have tiny electronic circuits that can control machines and process information. Simply put, electronic circuits are the lifelines of various electrical appliances. This guide explains in detail about common electronic components used in electronic circuits and how they work.
In this article I will provide an overview on electronic circuits. Then I will provide more information on 7 different types of components. For each type I'll discuss the composition, how it works, and the function & significance of the component.
