Friction bearing universal joints are available in a variety of sizes, styles and materials, giving packaging equipment designers the widest range of standard universal joints to choose from. Components are manufactured to tight tolerances for higher accuracy, torque capabilities and durability when compared to commodity-style universal joints.Components are selectively heat-treated and ground for higher strength compared to competitor friction-bearing universal joints, giving them a precise and prolonged life.
Single universal joints are best suited for space-constrained applications with angular misalignment up to 45 deg. Double universal joints are designed for applications with a wide distance between shafts or those in need of extreme angular misalignment accommodation up to 90 deg. The friction-bearing universal joints from can be equipped with nitrile boot covers for abrasion and oil resistance.
Newcomers to medical device design may think pressure and flow rate are sufficient parameters whenselecting a pump. While this may be true in some industrial applications, medical...
Variable volume pumps, also known as precision dispense pumps, are a positive displacement pump that operates by retracting a piston to aspirate a fluid and then extending the...
Acheck valve, a non-return or one-way valve, is a mechanical device that allows a gas or liquid to flow freely in one direction while preventing reverse flow in the opposite ...
Engineers tasked with managing fluid flow talk about both holes and calibrated orifices, but they are two distinct entities. A hole can be any opening, but a calibrated orifice...
