The majority of wind turbines are expected to have a service life of over 20 years, meaning that breakdown is almost inevitable at some point during a turbine’s lifetime. The question is: how big an impact will any breakdown have on the business?
In the food and beverage industry, it is essential to balance regulatory compliance with cost minimisation and optimum production levels. A failure in any of these areas could have huge consequences for the business.
SKF has released its new Food Line range of bearing units, created specifically for the demanding environment of the food & beverage industry.
World-renowned couplings manufacturer, Ruland, has announced its new stainless steel oldham coupling: a huge step forward for applications operating in corrosive, vacuum and cleanroom environments.
What do you do when you need a power transmission chain which can stand up to the demands of the industry, without losing any strength?
The range of flexible couplings on the market is vast, with every manufacturer making different promises. How do you decide which coupling to choose? And does it really matter where you buy it from?
Lubrication is an important aspect of any moving component, reducing friction and wear between parts, and helping to seal against contamination. However, that doesn’t mean it can’t feel like a chore sometimes, especially if the parts needing lubrication are difficult to access.
After rewinding an electric motor, it is crucial to ensure alignment when refitting the motor. We look at some of the best tools on the market to guarantee perfect alignment every time.
CONTI® SYNCHROCHAIN is renowned for its superior performance in a vast range of power transmission applications. But why should you change your chain drive over to a SYNCHROCHAIN belt drive?
