Screw rotor systems are critical components in compressors, vacuum pumps and various heavy-duty machinery. Their design and subsequent machining require an intricate balance between theoretical ...

Hunter’s OCL430HD rotor lathe is designed to improve medium- and heavy-duty service by machining the rotor on the vehicle. Hub-mounted service eliminates the need to disassemble the hub to remove the ...

Rotor heads for helicopters are large and awkwardly shaped objects, and machining them from a forging is a challenging operation. When Leonardo Helicopters decided to bring manufacture of rotor heads ...

• Induction motors employing copper rotors can be smaller than equivalent versions with aluminum rotors. • Copper rotors exhibit lower losses than aluminum which lets them run cooler and be more ...

MIT researchers developed a method for making tiny, precise rotors out of pure diamond crystal (far right cylinder), which can spin at far higher frequencies than rotors made from conventional ...

Steam turbine work on the international stage can have its challenges, but also its successes. Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis (MD&A) was contracted to inspect, analyze, and then straighten a Toshiba® ...

They all achieve the same objective — harvesting grain and separating the wheat from the chaff — but how that is achieved is where the difference lies. One fundamental difference between them is in ...

Most drivers first notice brake wear because something feels off. Maybe the car shudders under braking, maybe there's a sound coming from your brakes like high pitched screeching, or maybe the ...
