New H-Glide structural bearing sets deliver 1600-tonne capacity
New structural bearings capable of supporting more than 1600 tonnes of compressive load per set are being introduced by Hercules Engineering for extremely high stressapplications. The latest Herculon HLD-FF 8000 sliding bearings – which can be used in sets of two – incorporate a sliding layer of globally proven fibre-reinforced and incompressible H-Glide engineering plasticContinue reading “New H-Glide structural bearing sets deliver 1600-tonne capacity”
Cost-effective automation: igus presents the world’s lightest cobot
Automation made very easy: with the new ReBeL, now there is a plastic cobot from igus that weighs only ten kilograms. Together with low costs, low maintenance and simple operation, the ReBeL makes new innovative ideas in service robotics feasible for smaller companies and start-ups – from installed use on agricultural drones up to mobileContinue reading “Cost-effective automation: igus presents the world’s lightest cobot”
3D PRINTING GOING TO IMPRESSIVE HEIGHT
Hyrazine is commonly used as an aerospace propellant for low to medium thrust applications. Hydrogen peroxide, however, is a much less toxic alternative. And a PhD student at Canterbury is developing a 3D printed catalyst bed that will enable more efficient use of this as a propellant for rockets.
A new partnership in space
Could carbon fibre be used for spacecraft and laser light technology be used to transmit data to Earth? This is what researchers from the University of Auckland and German space experts have teamed up to find out.
Rakon launches new equipment for space
Headquartered in Auckland, Rakon is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of frequency control products and timing solutions. Its products can be found at the heart of many applications, from 5G networks and satellites, to even vehicles on Mars.
Energy and data combine
Small, compact and fast: these are the demands on the new generations of motors. And the new igus hybrid cable for SEW motors from Treotham makes it possible.
Helping businesses make good 3D printing decisions
The Creative Design and Additive Manufacturing (CDAM) Lab has taken out top place for the Academic Research Team category of the 2021 3D Printing Industry Awards, placing ahead of competition from the US, UK and Europe.
