Motor Power Calculations - GlobalSpec
This article presents valuable information about sizing motors for different applications. It will cover design considerations and several calculations, including motor efficiency, torque, and motor power calculations.
Diaphragm Pumps Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
Mechanical - These pumps are operated using a simple and robust reciprocating mechanical linkage directly attached to the diaphragm. This is typically a crank or gear mechanism which converts motor rotation into reciprocating motion of the linkage (spring, piston, plunger) attached to the diaphragm.
Gate Valves Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
Types of gate valves. Image Credit: thepipefittings.com . Wedge-shaped gate valves use two inclined seats and a slightly mismatched inclined gate, allowing for tight shut-off.. Disk flexibility is inherent to the split wedge design.This flexibility allows the split wedge to seal more easily and it reduces stickiness between the sealing surfaces in cases where the valve seats are angularly ...
Linear Actuators Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications ...
Linear actuators are mechanical devices used to move items through a system. The device uses energy to develop force and motion in a linear manner, as opposed to a rotational motion in an electric motor.
IHS Standards Store – Engineering Standards Source - GlobalSpec
GlobalSpec Product Announcement for IHS Standards Store – Engineering Standards Source - The IHS Standards Store provides access to standards, regulations and codes from professional societies, trade associations, international and national standardization regulatory bodies, governments and military sources.
Cooling Towers Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
Drift (D) is the small quantity of water carried from the tower as mist or small droplets. It is controlled with baffles and drift eliminators, and can be approximated in most systems as 0.02% of total system flow. (B) is water removed to lower dissolved solids content in the cooling water. When water evaporates from the tower, dissolved solids (such as calcium, magnesium, …
Motor Circuit Breaker Sizing Calculator | GlobalSpec
Electric motors are essential devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy (in the form of rotational torque of a shaft). The electrical energy could be grid-supplied single-phase or poly-phase alternating current or direct current from an alternative source.
Motor FLA Calculator - GlobalSpec
This article will get back to the basics of electric motors. It will cover full load amperage of single- and three-phase motors. It will also present helpful information about how motor FLA forms the basis for overload sizing.
Torsion Springs Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
Leg angle is the circular difference of the ends of the spring when the spring has no potential energy. Values range from 0° to 360°. Image credit: Lee Spring Co. Leg orientation is the positioning of the legs relative to each other and the spring axis.. Image credit: Springipedia Leg length determines the load needed to store energy in the spring. Shorter legs require a higher …
