Supply chain challenges, global tariffs and rising energy prices make it extremely difficult to collaborate with multiple vendors on a mechanical engineering project. The biggest takeaway from Schaeffler’s incredibly informative and insightful Automotive Symposium in Detroit is how lucky the organization is to avoid these challenges thanks to an extremely robust product portfolio.
Testing is a powerful tool for improving equipment reliability and reducing the risk of costly, unplanned downtime. When a bearing fails, it’s important to figure out why. Without an investigation or testing to determine the cause, there is a greater likelihood that the same problem will happen again. That’s why SKF Global Labs and Testing plays such a critical role in helping customers maximize the performance and service life of their rotating equipment.

SEW-Eurodrive is helping power one of the most ambitious bulk material handling projects in North America through its contribution to the Dune Express conveyor system, a record-setting 42-mile single-flight conveyor designed to transport frac sand across the Permian Basin. Developed by Atlas Energy Solutions in collaboration with system integrator Voith Turbo, the Dune Express system is designed to move up to 13 million tons of frac sand annually from Kermit, Texas, to the New Mexico border.

Few things say good morning like a glass of fresh orange juice. Thanks to the rise of in-store juicing machines, you no longer need an orange grove out back, let alone a hand press and strong forearms to enjoy one. Just walk into any Sam’s Club in the country and you’ll find gallons of fresh juice in the cooler, squeezed on-site that same day.

Schaeffler, the global technology company specializing in solutions for the automotive and industrial sectors, offers a strong and diverse product range not only for large industrial robots, but also for lightweight and collaborative robots (cobots).
For over two decades, our Montreal-based engineering simulation consultancy has provided advanced solutions to a diverse range of industries. Our expertise has facilitated the resolution of complex engineering challenges, leveraging the latest technologies in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer analysis. Among our recent projects, one particularly notable case involved a company specializing in converting combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles.
The mining industry relies heavily on efficient and reliable equipment to process large volumes of ore and mineral resources. One critical component in this ecosystem is the grinding mill, which plays a pivotal role in comminuting materials to prepare them for further processing. Grinding mills, particularly the large semi-autogenous (SAG) and ball mills, often operate under challenging conditions that demand precision, durability, and adaptability. A key technology enabling these mills to operate safely and efficiently is the hydraulic inching drive system.
In this white paper from Dunkermotoren, readers will learn how a modular motion platform helps an OEM develop its machine by providing a coordinated combination of motor, gearbox, brake, encoder, electronics, communication and software. The OEM starts with documented compatibility and defined interfaces instead of having to reconcile independent components from multiple suppliers.
Dunkermotoren explores the concept of EtherNet/IP, its history, key components, and its impact on modern manufacturing. As industries increasingly adopt automation and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions, EtherNet/IP emerges as a vital communication protocol, seamlessly connecting factory devices and equipment to Ethernet network.
Discover how R+W bellows, elastomer, disc pack and safety couplings support demanding motion control and industrial applications. Explore the defining characteristics, performance capabilities and design advantages of each coupling type and find the right solution for your requirements. Learn more about precision coupling solutions engineered for reliability, accuracy and performance.
See how SEW-EURODRIVE engineering and X.e Series industrial gear units helped power the 42-mile Dune Express conveyor.
