Planetary gearboxes are special motion control tools typically used by vehicles as an essential piece of automatic transmission equipment. Specifically, planetary gearboxes are a form of gearbox where the input and output have the same center of turning. This formation has several gears spinning in one direction and “orbiting” an interior gear, giving planetary gearboxes their name. This blog provides a short overview of planetary gearboxes, so that way you can best make an informed decision when considering multiple components for your assembly. Read more >>

Data centers are important places of connection that are vital for the success of any business. These data centers house computer systems with a complex network of power cords which can easily become a mess if not managed properly. Besides simply looking bad, tangled cords can make maintenance a time-consuming task and present certain risks of damage such as from fires or mismanaged cable systems. To ensure a safe and effective network, consider these seven tips for choosing the right data center power cords: Read more >>

Radio communication is a salient requirement for all forms of aviation, including general, commercial, and military. This system, which is used to facilitate voice communication, location sending, and ground-based navigation, relies on a complex architecture of electromechanical components, namely antennas. The antennas used on aircraft are variable and specialized in performing specific functions. In this blog, we will discuss the various types of antennas that may be found on common aircraft.

When working with machines, several parts may require quick release features for easy connection and disconnection. If you were to use bolts as a connecting medium for attachment and detachment, you will spend most of your time screwing and unscrewing the bolt, which will impact one’s overall productivity. This is where quick-release pins come into play. Quick-release pins are a great way to hold and release machine parts with ease. These pins allow you to secure and release parts in seconds without the need for additional tools. Once inserted, they will hold the individual part in place, and you can quickly release them by using a quick-release pin adjustment tool. Read more >>

While electrical circuits are diverse in their design and application, they all share a similar need for an electrical supply system. One of the most commonly implemented electrical supply devices is the distribution board or fuse box. Providing power to homes, commercial locations, and even some aircraft, the fuse box has become ubiquitous in modern circuitry. In this blog, we will discuss the design and function of fuse boxes and how they are implemented in aviation. Read more >>
