These days, it’s common among us hackers to load a stepper motor with forces in-line with their shaft–especially when we couple them to leadscrews or worm gears. Unfortunately, steppers aren’t really ...

Tensile tests were performed on nine carbon nanocoils using a focused-ion-beam technique. An individual CNC was picked up using -- an FIB, and a CNC bridge formed between a probe and the spring-table ...

Bolt it in place, and off you go: A slewing ring is a contained system of balls or rollers, caging, raceways, mounting provisions, and often, integral gearing as well. These large units are designed ...

The member shows a tensile normal component of strain in the axial x-direction and contractive normal strains in the transverse directions (due to the Poisson’s effect). The rod does NOT experience ...

Downgauging or lightweighting is an important cost concern for all packaging manufacturers. Lightweighting is achieved by reducing the raw material volume used in packaging. It is important that using ...
