While a lot of focus is placed on the role of rotating bearings, linear systems prove just as crucial in the operation of industrial equipment. These parts must support the weight and movement of heavy loads, while also maintaining resistance to environmental stressors such as...
The rigorous nature of bulk handling on mining sites calls for robust conveying systems, ensuring dust resistance as a key feature of their gear units. High shock loads from material drops, and the necessity for high torque capacity at start-up, have historically presented a barrier...
While Australia’s cement industry is relatively small, Rotary Kiln Services has found a market across the broader Asia Pacific region and in adjacent sectors such as mineral processing, pulp and paper, and steel manufacturing. “We can supply parts, survey, and undertake mechanical and structural repairs when...
How can a site or reliability manager ensure belts are achieving their life expectancy and that drives are working at optimal efficiency? According to Steve Hittmann, who is the National Product Manager for Mechanical Drive Systems at CBC, the Gates® Design Flex™ Pro™ free software tool...
Shredding and removing deleterious materials can place extensive pressure on the machine itself, meaning the right componentry is needed to support the task. Fortunately, innovations in productivity have continued to offer the recycling sector higher throughputs at a lower operating cost. For shredding applications, a high performance...
