Hydraulics may be one of the most important inventions in the modern world. They are used in a variety of ways, impacting everything we do in our life, from machines used for construction and agriculture, to the cars that we drive and food that we eat. Indeed, without hydraulics, our world would be a very different place.   Hydraulics may not be a very well known topic to some, while others would associate it with just the industrial sector. However, there are more surprising facts when it[...]

A belt is a crucial component for ensuring a mechanical system works seamlessly in transferring power and movement from one pulley or sprocket to another. This typically occurs in the case of one pulley being attached to a power or motor source and the other being attached to other processes in the conveyor belt chain that continue output and workflow in an industrial sense. However, drive belts, whether they’re V-shaped belts, round belts, toothed belts or flat belts will wear over time. Some[...]

Roller bearings are small components of a mechanical process calling for the combination of two parts with frictionless resistance. While cheap as a part, their failure can be the root cause of thousands in downtime. This frictionless resistance (or, more so, friction-reduced resistance) is a critical part to ensuring infrastructure remains consistent with low assessments for damage. This is because, typically, a ball bearing or roller bearing in Singapore will feature an inner ring with[...]

Finding the right bearing for industrial applications is vital to ensuring high-level production, low-level downtime, secure maintenance programs and a long-factory life. After all, almost every moving part in a machine, be it a car or the factory floor, needs to have fitted roller bearings and ball bearings in order to reduce friction, smoothen the motion, reduce costs with automation and better the longevity of the moving parts as a whole. Being the selected bearing supplier in Singapore, SLS[...]

EDM or spark machining may use brass wires or electrodes for electrical discharge machining. This process creates sparks that are emitted by electrodes or wires. It erodes some of the materials to make specific parts of machinery, cars, and appliances.

Proper lubrication greatly increases the life of bearings, especially in adverse conditions. Therefore, it is important to apply the correct lubrication practices to prevent premature bearing failure.  In this guide is the endorsed instructions for tapered roller bearing lubrication. But before we delve into that, let's take a quick look at the overview of tapered roller bearings.

We all know that it is important to properly look after our equipment and carry out maintenance where necessary, especially on electric motors, due its delicate parts that require service in order to work properly. Therefore, in order to prolong its service lifespan and prevent premature failure, it is absolutely critical that the right motor maintenance program is selected.

Electromechanical actuators and pillars perform vital motion and positioning roles in hospitals, diagnostic centers, and outpatient healthcare facilities. They are integrated into surgical tables, medical procedure chairs, and similar end-use equipment requiring controlled, safe, and repeatable patient positioning. They are commonly specified for their load capacity to perform push or pull movements, vertical lifting, and/or patient tilting functions.
