The FSA’s recently launched website feature, KnowledgeBase (www.fsaknowledgebase.org), provides content and informational videos as a service for manufacturers and users of mechanical seals. This digital knowledge base provides easy navigation to key information to educate and inform users of best…
Bently Bearings are pressurized air bearings that provide non-contact support for rotors during balancing operations. Specifically, the device produces a consistent signal that is exactly the same for each revolution, allowing for finer resolution during balancing operations, says the company.…
The VECO-Drive (photo) is an electric superimposing gear that combines a mechanical planetary gear with frequency-controlled servo motors. The electrical superimposing gear is said to be the most efficient way to make speed variable. The servo motors used to drive…
The LUBExpert acoustic lubrication solution’s (photo) intelligent algorithms guide technologists and operators during and after re-greasing tasks, resulting in optimal lubrication parameters on all assets. LUBExpert monitors each stroke of grease and its effect on bearing friction and temperature, and…
The Sonochek ultrasonic testing device (photo) localizes specific leaks on high-pressure pipes and evaluates total loss volume. Its broad bandwidth of 20 to 100 kHz allows leaks on compressed-gas and air pipes to be tracked, even from a distance. The…
AeroBlock (photo) is a standardized air compressor that is designed with integral-gear (IG) compression technology, and its standardized design ensures consistency without the need for specialized parts, which enables faster turnaround and support. AeroBlock compressors achieve flowrates up to 54,000…
The Coriolis RCT1000 line of mass flowmeters (photo) was recently enhanced with the addition of an explosion-proof transmitter with intrinsically safe sensors. The hazardous-location certification opens up an array of new applications for RCT1000 flowmeters, including chemical and petrochemical processing,…
