The challenge that machine tool builders face when designing spindles for milling machines and lathes is selecting bearings with the optimal balance of speed, load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and ...

There are countless reasons for rebuilding an engine, and countless more directions to take the build once you’ve started, but for us the reasoning was simple. In short, our little small-block 302 was ...

What exactly is computer-numerical-controlled (CNC) machining? It’s a means to make parts by removing material via high-speed, precision robotic machines that use an array of cutting tools to create ...

Bearings define speed, load-carrying capacity, precision, and stiffness, and they contribute to the spindle operating temperature, vibration, and noise during operation. It wasn’t so long ago that a ...

During manufacturing or converting processes, material is generally pulled off a roll, processed, and rewound — in sections called unwind, intermediate, and rewind zones, respectively. Knowing the ...

An introduction to the symmetric, multiphase, wound-rotor “synchronous” doubly-fed motor or generator system, called SYNCHRO-SYM. How SYNCHRO-SYM is only possible with brushless, automatic, ...
