Linear motors are synchronous motors: Current is applied to the coil to form an electromagnet. The coil then synchronizes itself to the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets in the magnet ...

The objective of optimized shaft alignment is to increase the operating life span of rotating machinery. To achieve this goal, components that are the most likely to fail must be made to operate ...

Sustainability has become a defining priority across industrial and maritime operations. While much of the discussion centers on alternative fuels and emerging technologies, one of the most immediate ...

Proper shaft alignment of directly coupled machines has proven to be one of the greatest money savers for machinery-intensive industries over the last 25 years. When poorly done, usually for lack of ...

So you say this isn't the first article you've seen on driveshaft chopping, or fabricating? Well, let's say we hope it betters anything done in the past. You've also heard of balancing a driveshaft … ...

The difference between flexible shaft couplings and rigid shaft couplings is not just in the terminology but in adsorption of torque. Shaft alignment is key to preventing unnecessary wear and damage ...

Does it make a difference if a bearing, its shaft and its housing are all aligned during installation? Definitely. Here’s how bearing manufacturers recommend aligning all the components. When ...

• The major issue with all parallel-drive systems is orthogonal alignment. • The dynamic motion generated by any two identical linear-shaft motors is the same ...
