These days, it’s common among us hackers to load a stepper motor with forces in-line with their shaft–especially when we couple them to leadscrews or worm gears. Unfortunately, steppers aren’t really ...

Tapered roller bearings are designed to handle both radial and axial loads. They have a tapered inner raceway (called the cone), a tapered outer raceway Tapered roller bearings are designed to handle ...

Operating conditions and design constraints dictate which type makes sense. Thrust bearings support axial loads on rotating shafts. Designs range from simple, coin-sized flat washers in household ...

Electro Mechanical Systems (EMS), a supplier of specialist micro drive systems, will exhibit at the Engineering Design Show ...

Downgauging or lightweighting is an important cost concern for all packaging manufacturers. Lightweighting is achieved by reducing the raw material volume used in packaging. It is important that using ...
