Efficient integrated gearmotors power intralogistics application
The intralogistics industry is a fastest-growing market — and one motion-component supplier aims to address the industry’s unique needs. “Three of the world’s top five material-handling suppliers use NORD drive technology, and we have long-term supply agreements with two of the suppliers,” says NORD Gear Corp. president and CEO Torsten Schultz One solution for intralogistics […]
White vinegar lines employ dry-lubrication and other conveyors
Rising demand for white vinegar recently prompted French condiment and seasoning company Charbonneaux-Brabant to install a Sidel PET line in their new Vauvert production plant. There the company bottles white vinegar in 1 and 1.5-l formats in a flexible operation that continuously changes to satisfy supply chain and distribution demands. In fact, growing use of […]
How is machine vibration defined?
Machine vibration is a normal, and typically unavoidable, result of moving and rotating parts, often caused by standard manufacturing and assembly tolerances that lead to clearances between mating parts or imbalances in rotating parts. And while routine machine wear can cause vibration to increase over time, when a machine experiences a significant or sudden increase or […]

Video: What is a torque limiter?
Torque limiters are mechanical and electromechanical power-transmission devices that protect machine sections (or workpieces they’re servicing) from overloads, crashes, and damage from jams. Torque limiters work either by slipping or completely disconnecting the drive from the driven load. Some torque limiters of the former type (especially those employing friction plates) are also called slip clutches. […]
