The Screw Jack is a device whose function is to convert circular motion into linear motion. This, is a mechanism that can be used to push, pull, tension, lock, unlock, tilt, rotate, roll, slide, and lift or lower loads with minimal applied force, by means of a spindle driving the load or the load itself traveling along the spindle in solidarity with a nut driven by the spindle. ...

In traditional linear guides, as the balls roll, they cause the carriage to move along the guide. During this movement, the balls collide with each other, producing a characteristic noise that may be undesirable depending on the application. ...

The main purpose of slides is to facilitate the movement of various objects and systems that we come across on a daily basis. There are several aspects that distinguish the type of slide to use such as size, width, etc., but in this article we will show you the three main types of slide applications based on the load they support. ...

Aluminium is a metal that is not found in nature in its pure state, being a component found in Bauxite. This ore was found by French physicist and mineralogist Pierre Berthier in 1821 in the town of Les Baux. It was given the name Bauxite as a mention of the town where it was found. At that time, aluminium was not yet known, as it was only separated from Bauxite in 1824 by the Danish physicist and chemist Hans Christian Oersted, through a chemical solution. ...

Aluminum is a metal with a large presence on the planet (about 8%), but it is not found in nature in its pure form. It is necessary to use chemical solutions to obtain it. And until the beginning of the 19th century this metal had never been produced. In its early production the solutions used to obtain it had an extremely high monetary value, which made this metal a precious metal, even more precious than gold. Thus aluminum began to be used in luxurious works, such as statuettes or commemorative plaques. With the development of industry, its production increased and its applications changed, becoming used in Victorian decoration, trays and ornamental hairbrushes. ...

The history of aluminum is relatively recent, despite the fact that this metal is one of the most present on planet earth (about 8%). In order to obtain aluminum it is necessary to use chemical formulas because it is not found in the ground in its pure form. ...

Industrial automation is present in all the automatic mechanisms that perform a task replacing one or a team of operators. Mainly interesting in repetitive tasks, demanding at human level, or even dangerous to health. ...

The Covid-19 pandemic brought some requirements regarding the hygienization and cleaning of spaces. From nothing, everything started to be much cleaner, people started to take extra care with their personal hygiene and companies started to look for new solutions to ensure the safety of their spaces, customers, and employees. ...

Announced on 14 July, the European Commission established the European Green Deal to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. This initiative is part of the implementation of the European Climate Law, which comes into effect this month (July 2021). The new law introduces stricter regulations on electric motors and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). ...

In the last years some solutions have been developed in the area of robotics for food processing and handling, but there is still a gap that seems to resist this technology - the packaging technique. ...
