Thrust bearings are special types of bearings manufactured to support axial stresses while enabling rotary motion between two moving parts. In fact, thrust refers to the axial loads under which these types of bearings are designed to operate. They are available in a wide range of designs, including ball, roller, fluid, and magnetic variations. In the automotive sector, ball and roller thrust bearings are commonly found in wheel hubs, and manual transmissions can utilize what is popularly known as a throw-out bearing as a part of the clutch mechanism.

While air travel has proven itself to be safer than driving a car, there are still some critical factors to take into consideration when hopping on a flight. Generally, eager flyers do not take many of the potential airborne dangers very seriously, but pilots always have them in mind. If you think about it, people are being hoisted thousands of feet in the air within a vacuum-sealed vessel. Clearly, there are some major dangers to consider. 

Fasteners are one of the most useful components for any assembly, often being used to secure two or more parts together in a temporary or permanent fashion. The nut is a subtype of fastener, that of which pairs with a correlating screw or bolt to compress items together with ease. Nuts come in many variations depending on the task at hand, ranging from simple, hand-tightened hardware pieces to large and complex components that necessitate special tools for installation. When an assembly is faced with stressors such as vibration, there may be a concern for loosening fasteners. In such instances, special types of nuts should be used, those of which include lock nuts, jam nuts, and bearing lock nuts.

As our homes are being filled with different video sources and other equipment like receivers and projectors, your remote control system can quickly become an inconvenience. While you may want to hide equipment away to minimize the electronic clutter in your home, covering up the infrared receivers built into your devices renders remote controls useless. The solution to this: IR (infrared) repeaters.

Hydraulic technology has become a mainstay in a wide range of industries, powering tools, vehicles, and power transmission systems. One such application, in particular, that has recently become popular is the hydraulic jack. These machines can be used to lift heavy loads with unmatched efficiency and minimal energy input. In this blog, we will discuss the design and numerous applications of hydraulic jacks across the several industries in which it is implemented.
