A new, MIL-qualified power converter has been designed to provide electrical isolation between input power and an electrically noisy load. The DTI PCS-5000 maintains a unity power factor when driving ...

For one newly designed bottle cleansing packaging and sorting conveyor system, improper loading of linear actuators led to excessive downtime. The de-stacker is positioned at the forefront of the ...

Here's when to use linear-static FEA and when to use a nonlinear program. Most engineering problems contain nonlinear effects. Take a paper clip, for example. Push on one end hard enough and the clip ...

The new Allen-Bradley LDAT-SeriesTM Integrated Linear Thruster from Rockwell Automation is the first commercially available moving magnet iron core linear motor actuator with a built-in linear guide ...

Part III of NEC Art. 220 provides requirements for the calculated load of specific applications (after covering general loads and general lighting). Do you know the types of loads that are covered ...

The power and thermal behavior of fixed linear resistors are mostly based on DC or RMS loads. However, pulse loads – like a single energy pulse or a continuous flow of pulses – have increasingly ...

Micrel announced the availability of four new products that incorporate Micrel’s proprietary Ripple Blocker™ technology which was launched in the first quarter of 2012. The MIC94305 and the ...

Ok, I lied. This is more of a "do my math" request than a question. I'm working on a project that requires lifting a 10 lb load vertically using a lead screw (threaded shaft) and then lowering it ...

Support mechanics are one of the most critical components in a linear motion design and set the stage for achievable performance in almost every metric. Options for components and methods range a ...
