Energy supply
Almost all mounting brackets are available in two variants. The first pivots, the second is fixed. At this point, many design engineers wonder when they should use the pivoting and when the fixed version. Pivoting mounting brackets are standard for gliding or horizontally unsupported applications But why is that? The pivoting mounting bracket compensates for […]
When I attended my first trial day at igus years ago, a colleague told me, “It is never boring here. We get fascinating queries every day. Right now I’ve been tasked to find out whether energy chains can withstand radioactive radiation.”
It is every machine operator’s nightmare. The machine tool suddenly becomes jerky. The user’s pulse starts to race. Sweat breaks out on their forehead. They are worried about the workpiece clamped into the machine. Each vibration damages the cross section. The workpiece will soon be beyond help. This is doubly irritating. It costs time and […]
DNV GL is a classification society created in 2013 from a merger of Det Norske Veritas (Norway) and Germanischer Lloyd (Germany). The company assesses ships and offshore structures and issues guidelines on design and construction. DNV GL performs the role of monitoring compliance with issued regulations and assigns vessel classes to new constructions. The […]
In handling or in machine tools, energy supplies must be planned as “hanging” applications for vertical movement. This is actually not a great challenge, but there are things to consider in planning and design. Pivoting or fixed? Which connection method is the right one? Pivoting mounting brackets have the advantage that when installation space is […]
