This large library of free industrial online webinars available from GlobalSpec's partners covers the big trends in engineering - everything from electrical engineering and power electronics to ...

LiDAR technology surrounds us in everyday life, powering applications like autonomous vehicles and facial recognition. To enhance object position detection accuracy, increase detection range, sharpen ...

Diaphragm pumps are positive displacement pump which move gases, liquids, or gas-liquid mixtures via a reciprocating diaphragm. They are highly reliable because they do not include internal parts that ...

Pneumatic fittings are parts used to connect sections of pipe, tube, and hose in pneumatic (pressurized gas) systems. Compared to hydraulic fittings, pneumatic fittings are typically characterized by ...

Air springs contain a column of air in an elastomeric bellow or sleeve to provide suspension, isolation, or actuation. Commonly found in vehicle suspension systems, occasionally in conjunction with a ...

Check valves are self-activating safety valves that permit gases and liquids to flow in only one direction. The purpose of a check valve is to prevent process flow from reversing in the system which ...

Ball valves are quarter-turn, straight-through valves that have a round closure element with matching rounded seats that permit uniform sealing stress. The valve gets its name from the ball that ...

V-belt pulleys (also called vee belt sheaves) are devices which transmit power between axles by the use of a v-belt, a mechanical linkage with a trapezoidal cross-section. Together these devices offer ...

Venturi vacuum generators create vacuums using a venturi chamber designed to move gases or fluids out of a region of space. Venturi or fluid jet vacuum generators rely on the flow of compressed air, ...

Butterfly valves are quarter-turn rotary motion valves used as throttling valves to control flow through a system. They can be used with many different media. Butterfly valves offer several advantages ...

Axial flow pumps, also called propeller pumps, are centrifugal pumps which move fluid axially through an impeller. They provide high flow rate and low head, but some models can be adjusted to run ...

Hydrostatic bearings and hydrodynamic bearings are fluid film bearings that rely on a film of oil or air to create a clearance between the moving and stationary elements. Although they may be similar ...
