Bellows and their key design feature — flexible rigidity — are the oxymoron of the industrial components world: They must be strong enough to withstand pressure throughout their circumference, yet ...

Electrodeposited nickel bellows couplers flex to fit misaligned shafts yet remain torsionally stiff. What do a micron-precision silicon wafer cutter, a surgical microscope focusing mechanism, and a ...

In the field of modern agricultural machinery, pneumatic conveying seed-discharge systems have been widely adopted due to their compact size, high seed-discharge efficiency, and strong adaptability, ...

Glass notes that the new bellows design helps eliminate the wear that can cause holes and lead to corrosion, but says they also are easier to replace if a hole were to develop. He explains, “The holes ...

Spring-loaded magnetically-coupled device provides a fail-safe solution that could reduce unscheduled downtime due to loss of ultrahigh vacuum A magnetically-coupled actuator avoids the need for ...
