Clean and ultra-clean steel for linear motion bearings

02/02/2029

Specialty steel alloys are essential for components in linear motion bearings. Steel cleanness and heat treatment are important, while packaging and soft machining can improve efficiency for bearing manufacturers. Mikael Ostman, Key Account Manager for bearings at Ovako, explains why.

High-pressure ATEX multistage pump for green hydrogen energy plant

02/02/2029

The demand for cleaner low-emission fuels has been on the rise in recent times, due to the ongoing threat of global warming and the greener mindset of younger generations. In 2010, only seven percent of the UK’s generated power was from renewable sources. However, in 2020, this skyrocketed to 47 percent, an obvious sign of change for the better.

Iain Bomphray, Director of the Lightweight Manufacturing Centre (LMC) within the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS), operated by the University of Strathclyde, outlines the crucial work being undertaken at the centre to make the wind turbine supply chain more environmentally friendly.

Which type of ball screw should I choose?

02/02/2029

Rotary motion can be converted to linear motion using a ball screw whilst, at the same time, converting torque to thrust – and vice versa. Ball screws can move heavy loads with high speed and accuracy.
