Basic knowledge

There are many different types of mechanical loads that affect an object, one of which is torsion. In this blog article, we will look at the basics of torsion and explore some examples.

Since it is of great importance in the design of gears that the gear wheels involved engage correctly and wear is minimized, various basic calculations must be carried out. Terms such as modulus, pitch diameter and tooth count play a major role here. In this article, we deal with the most important aspects of gear calculation and what to consider when calculating gear units.

Surface roughness and surface hardness are important properties that must be taken into account when selecting components. Although there are different methods for measuring the roughness or coarseness of a component surface, these measurements often have to be converted to a standard measure.

Ball bearings and plain bearings are two basic types of bearings used in a variety of mechanical systems in mechanical engineering. The main task of bearings is to enable defined movements of components and thereby reduce friction as much as possible. Although both types of bearings have a common goal, there are fundamental differences in design, functionality and application. This blog article describes the most important differences between ball bearings and plain bearings.

Custom parts for machines, also known internationally as "Special Purpose Machine Parts", play an important role in mechanical engineering and especially in custom machine construction. These specially designed components are often the core of custom machine solutions and fulfill tasks that cannot be realized with standard parts.

The toggle lever mechanism is a technical principle that is used to generate or exert large forces with relatively little use of force. This principle is used primarily in industry in order to secure positions without permanent use of force - for example with quick clamps.

Profile rail guides: Join us as we explore the world of profile rail guides. Our article highlights the different types of profile rail guides and their functions. Learn how to maximize service life with proper maintenance, and take a look at possible alternatives in this critical area of linear motion technology.

Ball screw drives are manufactured according to the selection criteria and specifications of DIN ISO 3408 or JIS B 1192, etc.

Ball screw drives are high-precision components used in various applications to convert rotary motion into linear motion. The areas of application for ball screw drives are wide-ranging and include areas such as CNC machines, 3D printers, robotics, machine tools and many other industrial applications.

The glass transition temperature is the temperature at which an amorphous or semicrystalline polymer transitions from a glass-like, brittle state into a rubber-elastic state. In this range, the molecular mobility of the polymer chains changes drastically, which leads to a change in the mechanical properties. In contrast to crystalline substances, amorphous materials do not have an orderly crystal lattice, but rather unordered molecular chains.
