Changing Entertainment Experiences with Electro-Mechanical Screw Jacks
There has been a significant shift in the Entertainment Industry to move away from manual and hydraulic operated systems to electro-mechanical screw jacks. Key reasons are safety, cleanliness, sound and reliability. Providing the ultimate entertainment experience dates back centuries, where lifts and trap doors were all part of making people, animals and staging, all of a sudden appear. This industry still uses these techniques today, but how they operate has changed dramatically.
Virtual End-of-Line Test
Tooth contact analysis is an integral part of the gear design process. With the help of these simulation tools, it is possible to calculate the excitation caused by a tooth contact (Ref. 1). Usually, the load-free transmission error or the total transmission error under load is used for this purpose.
A Sneak Peek at Quality Control at Atlantic Bearing Services (ABS)
This recent day in the life feature shows the ABS quality team in action to ensure manufacturing precision. Antonio Martin Hernandez, Marco Partidas, Dayan Leng Armenteros, and Laura Vazquez diligently worked on various components that required special attention. They are focused on inner rings (IRs) for cylindrical roller bearings, which play a crucial role in reducing friction and supporting radial loads. Additionally, they handle bevel gears, essential components in gearboxes that change the direction of torque transmission across various industrial applications.
Industrial Automation Integrity
Truth be told, there are few components as versatile as the gearmotor. We find them in AGVs, AMRs, and robotics. They can also be found in automation equipment, industrial drive solutions and material handling applications. Four key trends involving gearmotors today include the simplification in design and installation, quiet and energy efficient performance, predictive maintenance and condition monitoring—and lastly—the ability to perform at the highest levels in hazardous and demanding applications.
