Why oil pressure matters in gearbox control Oil pressure serves multiple active and passive functions within a gearbox: Lubrication of gears, shafts, and bearings to minimise friction and wear Hydraulic actuation of clutches or shift mechanisms in semi-automatic or automated...

Anatomical pathology - the study of diseases through the examination of organs, tissues and cells - relies on specialised laboratory equipment such as cryostats, slide stainers and digital pathology machines. Within these machines, temperature probes play a crucial role in ensuring the accurate...

Benefits of using Robotics •  Efficiency: Robots can perform repetitive tasks more quickly than humans •  Precision: Essential for accuracy in industries and medical applications •  Safety: Robots can handle dangerous tasks and work in environments unsafe for...

In electric racing, where every fraction of a second counts, precision and reliability are essential. Every component in an electric racing car needs to perform seamlessly under demanding conditions, where even minor inefficiencies can affect the outcome. Among these technologies, rotary position...

The mechanical construction of rotary and linear potentiometers is very similar, each type consists of a contact wiper and a conductive element or track. In Linear Potentiometers the track is straight and in Rotary potentiometers the track is circular. The wiper moves along the track to measure the...

Ensuring proper airflow Air filtration systems, including fume hoods, are essential for maintaining good air quality in commercial kitchens. Pressure switches play a key role in fume hoods by triggering alerts or shutdowns to prevent air contamination when pressure drops. These switches detect...
