BlogLocking Assembly of a Locking DeviceA locking assembly is a component of a locking mechanism. The locking assembly includes a spring 54 and a torsion or compression spring. The spring 54 compresses the pin 70 and retainer 52, and the pin 70 in turn forces the retainer 52 to move in a negative X direction.The locking assembly consists of a […]READ MOREScrew Jacks and Their TypesA screw jack, also called a jackscrew, is a mechanical device for raising and lowering heavy and moderate weights. These devices are commonly used in the aerospace industry to raise the horizontal stabilizers of aircraft. These devices are also used as adjustable supports for heavy loads. Listed below are some common uses for screw jacks.Screw […]READ MOREWhat Is a Sprocket?The sprocket is a mechanical device used in bicycles and other tracked vehicles. It is used to pull the linked chain, which then turns the wheels. The size of the sprocket can be adjusted to suit different gearing situations. Similar designs are used on motorcycles and some motorized vehicles.Typically, sprockets are forged or milled, though […]READ MOREHydraulic Cylinders and Hydraulic WinchesA hydraulic cylinder is a device used to move fluids. The cylinder consists of two halves which move in different directions. These halves are connected by feed pipes and are surrounded by seals. These seals help to prevent leaks and are made of different materials. Some hydraulic cylinders use PTFE seals which are suitable for […]READ MORECycloidal Reducer – A Comparison of Cycloidal Gearboxes and Other Types of Gear TransmissionCycloidal gearboxes are a type of reduction gear. They reduce the input shaft speed by a predetermined ratio. They can produce high ratios in compact designs and are known for low backlash. This characteristic makes them an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications. These gearboxes are often used in automotive and construction equipment.In […]READ MORETypes of Gear RacksThe gear rack is a mechanical device that converts rotary motion into linear motion. There are two types of gear rack: helical cut and straight cut. Both types come with predrilled mounting holes and ground ends to facilitate butting. Both types are available in either 1500 or 2000 mm lengths. They are available with either […]READ MORERoots Vacuum Pumps and Claw Vacuum PumpsVacuum pumps are used to remove air from tanks or other enclosed spaces, creating either a partial or total vacuum. The aspirated gaseous molecules are then released into the ambient air or into another tank. These devices are used in many industrial sectors. The choice of vacuum pump is based on the type of application, […]READ MOREAgricultural GearboxesSUNFIELD offers an extensive range of agricultural gearboxes for a variety of applications. These products are long-lasting and competitively priced. Many of their products are specifically designed to reduce input shaft speeds to help tractors run pumps and other equipment. Some also increase the speed of the tractor's PTO. A quality agricultural gearbox should have […]READ MOREServo Gearbox and Planetary Gear ReducerA servo gearbox is a device that converts rotational motion into a linear motion. A gearbox is used to reduce the inertia of a system, which is vital for ensuring performance. It can also minimize the backlash and increase efficiency. Planetary gearboxes are used in a wide range of servo applications. They provide higher stiffness, […]READ MORE 1 2 3 … 22
