Embraced in the generic portfolio of Operating & Machine Parts, Operating Elements are very important, allowing the manual (...) in many industry sectors. Due to its fact, it's necessary to ensure the product in hand to be perfectly adapted and ergonomic for manual use. Elesa+Ganter's handwheels and crank handles are well thought, designed and produced to correspond to its necessitites of any workplace, suiting the material to its composition and the way they must be driven. These are the types of handwheels and crank handles applied in the industry. ...

It's common to see that 3D printed parts, once completed, reveal a type of texture based on the technology in which they were produced. Depending on the function, it is important that the part's surface has certain characteristics that eliminate the risk of compromising its functionality or that of the assembly it is part of. While various additive manufacturing technologies specialize in building a part with the accuracy and demands associated with quality requirements, surface treatment specializes in enhancing the part of prominent textures or retained waste, and RMN Additive offers the following surface treatment services for additive manufacturing parts. ...

Technical profile aluminum structures with mobile characteristics allow for a presence and flexible function in various industrial production environments. Along with the lightweight nature of the structure, the mobility applied to these structures facilitates compliance and increasing production. In order for a mobile structure to meet the requirements for its intended purpose, Reiman offers various types of castors developed for different applications. ...

Our partner Accuride presents a new product developed for heavier doors and room dividers, in rooms with a high ceiling. The DA1532 pocket door system is designed to support heavier doors up to 45Kg and to be adjustable to the furniture’s size. This pocket door slide is suitable for doors up to 3 meters in height and 1 meter in width. ...

RMN Additive presents a new technology in their 3D printing function panel, which production method sums it up to a sintering process on a polymeric powder through a laser beam, layer by layer. SLS technology (Selective Laser Sintering), primordially developed in the mid 1980’s, and recently innovated for more effective and sustainable needs, is the most preferred technology by industry professionals, due to its productivity and capacity in printing practical and resistant parts. ...

A bearing's main function is to reduce friction between different contact surfaces during rotary movement. There are various types of bearings; discover the differences between them. ...

A coupling is a mechanical component that connects 2 shafts which are intended to rotate in order to transmit power. Shaft couplings introduce some flexibility into mechanical transmission by providing tolerance to shaft misalignment. As a result, this coupling flexibility can reduce uneven bearing wear, equipment vibration and other mechanical problems due to misalignment. ...

The world and technologies are advancing at a galloping pace. Everything that ins’t technological ceases to be interesting and becomes obsolete. This is an evolution that has been reflected in all kinds of sectors, even the most unthinkable. ...

Additive Manufacturing is a 3D printing technology through which it is possible to obtain strong and resistant parts, prototypes, and models. 3D printing begins by designing the part in CAD software that then generates a .stl file. ...

In one of our previous articles, we showed you what additive manufacturing consists of, however, often associated with this process is subtractive manufacturing and so we decided to show you the main differences between the two processes. ...
