Research conducted at the University of Manchester’s Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research has been used to drive policy changes in the shipping and aviation sectors, bringing greenhouse gas emissions targets more in line with the Paris Agreement.
Whether it’s an application designed for space exploration or a more down-to-earth need for spring technology in a smaller space envelope, wave springs could be just what you’re looking for.
Innovative engineering technology across virtually every sector of industry awaits visitors to the next Southern Manufacturing & Electronics trade fair, which will take place from 4 to 6 February 2025 at the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre.
Wave springs are commonly used for space saving, offering up to 50 percent axial space savings in an application. They are also frequently used in the axial preloading of bearings. However, in high-performance applications like electric mobility, traditional designs can struggle with high acceleration and torsional forces leading to bearing damage and instability.
When Google DeepMind wanted a robotic hand for its latest project in AI machine learning, it turned to Shadow Robot. This latest creation isn’t just one of the most sensitive and dexterous robotic hands yet created, but it’s sufficiently robust to endure impacts that have destroyed previous designs.
