Globe Valves Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBDesign Tip: Take care to not screw the valve shaft too far because there is a possibility it could damage the seating surface. For quick-acting globe stop valves, the stem is placed so the disk closes in the same direction as the fluid flow. Closing the valve is impeded by the kinetic energy of the media but opening is faster and easier.
Bolts Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications - GlobalSpec
WEBA bolt is a type of threaded hardware fastener that is used to position two workpieces in specific relation to each other. Bolts come in several configurations for their application and specification variances. Since the terms "bolt" and "screw" were in use before the advent of easily-produced helix ...
Gate Valves Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBTypes of gate valves. Image Credit: thepipefittings.com . Wedge-shaped gate valves use two inclined seats and a slightly mismatched inclined gate, allowing for tight shut-off.. Disk flexibility is inherent to the split wedge design.This flexibility allows the split wedge to seal more easily and it reduces stickiness between the sealing surfaces in cases where the valve seats are angularly ...
Linear Actuators Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications ...
WEBLinear actuators are mechanical devices used to move items through a system. The device uses energy to develop force and motion in a linear manner, as opposed to a rotational motion in an electric motor. Linear actuators offer advantages including a simple design with minimal moving parts. They are ...
Heat Exchangers Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBHeat exchangers are used to transfer heat energy from one fluid to another in order to control the temperature of a system or substance. Heat exchangers contain two streams of fluid, one hot and one cold, which are separated by a thermally conductive tube or plate unless the fluids are immiscible.
Screws Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications - GlobalSpec
WEBScrew Features. Several integral features are available in screws, which increase their versatility. Breakaway screws have a hollowed shank that greatly reduces their shear load. This is useful in mechanical components which may experience overload, or …
Spur Gears Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBApplications. The following application requirements should be considered with the workload and environment of the gear set in mind. Power, velocity and torque consistency and output peaks of the gear drive so the gear meets mechanical requirements. Spur gears' design contraints limit their ability to transfer energy at high speeds and torques.
Electrical Connectors Selection Guide: Types, Features, …
WEBElectrical connectors are devices that join electrical circuits together. Most connectors are removable or temporary, but some can be permanent. Connectors make electronic products easier to assemble and manufacture. They also ease circuit repairs and allow flexibility in design and modification ...
Level Sensors Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBExample of point level measurement. Video Credit: madisonsensors . Continuous level sensors measure liquid or dry material levels within a specified range and provide outputs which continuously indicate the level. They are more sophisticated devices than point level sensors because they measure over a range of levels instead of at one point to let the user know the exact amount of a substance.
