A new advance in vibration monitoring, developed with EPRI, facilitates the measurement of torsional vibration and is expected to be of significant value to power plants relying on a wide range of ...

All rotating equipment power trains found in a power plant have some amount of vibration, usually caused by mechanical unbalance of the rotating system, shaft misalignment, or weakness in the bearing ...

In many four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles, steel driveshafts are segmented to provide necessary torque and vibrational performance characteristics. Unlike these segmented steel ...

Dual mass flywheels (DMFs) serve as a crucial component in modern powertrain systems by effectively isolating torsional vibrations. The system comprises two independently rotating masses connected via ...

Precision line shafts transmit torque across longer distances while maintaining mechanical synchronization. Here we review their basics, as well as speed considerations. Line shafts span long ...

Emission reduction strategies for large bore combustion engines have been a major topic in engine development over the last years. One important factor is the fuel itself. The new technologies applied ...

In the world of motion applications, the use of mechanical line shafts may be declining as their electronic counterparts come up, but machine builders still must address vibration, torsion elasticity ...

When an airliner full of passengers at the gate experiences a failed component, often a valve or switch, the ground crew getting the plane ready to take off or the flight crew often manually overrides ...

DuPont and KINETIXX extend the performance envelope of aramid fibers with Kevlar ® EXO™ in consumer-facing precision sporting systems. TW Special Report. A fter more than fifte ...

This paper was first presented at the Gas Machinery Research Council 2021 Gas Machinery Conference in Louisville, Kentucky in October 2021. Because of the original length of the paper, it has been ...

If you already have or are planning to install an overdrive transmission, there are a few things you should know. For instance, while better gas mileage is a fine idea, it's possible to slow the ...
