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.
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies (FST) continues to expand its seal and lubrication technology platform by providing a range of solutions addressing critical issues such as friction, performance, power and material compatibility. The following article examines three recent additions to the company’s broad range of system solutions.

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.

NASA’s successful Artemis II mission represented the first crewed lunar mission since Apollo 17 in 1972 as well as a major leap forward in humanity’s return to deep space exploration. The mission launched on April 1, 2026, and lasted approximately nine days, one hour and 32 minutes.

The belt and chain market is heavily driven by intralogistics, automation and infrastructure growth in 2026. Manufacturers are looking at areas like electrification, sustainability and supply chain resilience to meet stricter performance expectations. PTE recently sat down with Kyo Oh, vice president and general manager at AMMEGA Group Power Transmission and Fluid Power Solutions, to discuss the U.S. belt market from a power transmission perspective.

More than a billion people around the world unite to ring in the New Year, their eyes set upon the glittering New Year’s Ball in Manhattan. Thousands are gathered at Times Square — the famed “Bow Tie” of Midtown — braving the December cold and peering through glasses with numerically shaped frames. Millions more tune in from their various screens at home.
With so much riding on its descent, the Ball, along with the mechanical and electrical systems responsible for its operation, must operate like clockwork.
An innovative technology for the next generation of high-speed, high power density traction and propulsion systems has been jointly developed by Drive System Design (DSD) and Transense Technologies. David Hind, principal engineer, DSD, presented “Unlocking Powertrain Power Density with Innovative Motor Control,” earlier this year at the CTI USA Symposium 2025 in Novi, MI. The presentation built on initial simulation studies performed in MATLAB Simulink; a software tool used to design and simulate systems before moving to hardware. While simulation trials proved successful, achieving quality experimental results proved far more challenging. Hind examined these challenges and potential solutions at CTI.
