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.
There’s a running theme throughout concrete and aggregate producers where the motors in crushers, conveyors and pumps need to operate efficiently, extend equipment life and cut downtime—easier said than done when dealing with dust, vibration and massive shock loads. These daily challenges can be the difference between having reliable onsite equipment or navigating the costs associated with unplanned failures.
.
Across sectors, the same operational truth is becoming harder to ignore: downtime has a direct impact on revenue. It ripples into supply chains, disrupts mission readiness, compromises service levels and, in some environments, creates genuine safety risk.

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.

Automation and smart technologies are fundamentally changing what manufacturing environments look like — and more importantly, what they can achieve. Rewriting the rules of flexibility and efficiency, automated and digitalized workflows make it possible to produce more complex products in less time with less waste.

NYCU (National Yang Ming Chia Tung University) Vulpes Racing—founded in 2008—is a Formula Student Team that combines mechanical engineering, industrial design, public relations, video production and marketing expertise.
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.
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.
It’s an exciting time in the electric motor industry. In the past two years more truly innovative new technology development has occurred than in the previous two decades. We can thank the e-mobility movement for that. It’s not just cars, trucks, bikes and buses, but just about everything else that moves on wheels as well as on water and in the sky.

Tim Dickson, chief digital and information officer, Regal Rexnord, explores how businesses can turn AI from just another tool to a truly transformative part of their operations.
In industrial facilities where 400–480V three-phase power is standard, machine builders are often faced with a different kind of challenge. It is not a question of whether to use high voltage but how to design motion systems that work effectively within that environment without introducing unnecessary complexity.
