Springs are components that are commonly added to assemblies to control motion and provide force, coming in a number of types to accommodate varying needs. The gas spring is a common type, serving as an alternative to conventional springs that are coil-based. With a gas spring, a cylinder filled with gas has a piston attached to one end. Extended by default, force will cause the piston to retract into the cylinder, resulting in an outward exertion when the force of compression is surpassed or drops. While simplistic in operation and design, gas springs provide various benefits that make them quite useful for applications such as door supports, office chairs, medical instruments, and more.
Particular in design for their shape and application, spring pins are unthreaded fasteners that must be inserted into a hole with a diameter that is smaller than the pin itself. Also commonly referred to as roll pins, these components are built with an open seam down their length, allowing for a snug fit once placed. Manufactured with a chamfer on each end to facilitate easy insertion into a hole, spring pins are typically made from thin sheet metal meant to decrease in diameter and curve to form the outer expansion of the pin. Available in two primary pin types, slotted pins and spiral pins, these mechanical fasteners are the perfect solution for mating parts together or fastening one shaft to another. To better understand how spring pins work, we will discuss their common types and how you can best apply each to satisfy your part needs.
The gas turbine engine is a common internal combustion engine used by aircraft, serving to produce thrust and propulsion through the combustion of fuel and air mixtures. Similar to the piston engine, gas turbine engines feature a cycle of operation consisting of induction, compression, combustion, expansion, and exhaust. In order to carry out this standard set of operations for achieving flight, gas turbine engines comprise a number of common parts and components. In this blog, we will discuss the makeup of gas turbine engines and their functionality, allowing you to best understand how such combustion engines serve aerospace applications.
Nothing delivers flexibility and weight distribution against forces to fasteners as equally as washers do. While washers may come in a diverse variety of sizes and flexible ring formations, they are not to be confused with circular gaskets found in faucets or valves. Typically characterized as a thin and circular plate or piece of material with a hole bored in its center, washers can be categorized into three primary types: plain washers, spring washers, and locking washers. Being a prolific piece of equipment, these tools are commonly found in local hardware stores and are specifically made to be used in tandem with either a screw, bolt, or the like. Also being a necessity for nearly all construction projects when dealing with tightening nuts, bolts, screws, and a myriad of other nut-bolt assemblies, washers are almost always applied to serve numerous critical roles. To better understand the different types of washers and how they work, we will go over how to discern common types and why each is important for their own nut-bolt pairings.
When flying, it is of the utmost importance to transfer both cargo and passengers safely from one destination to the other. In order to complete such a task, flight instruments which rely on the gyroscope are implemented and used. Also commonly referred to as directional gyros, these components are a necessary and key feature in indicating the direction in which an aircraft is traveling. The operation of a gyroscope is also reliant on its rapid rotational movement, and aircraft depend on gyroscopic heading indicators for their precision and ability to bypass conditions that would otherwise compromise a typical compass.
A centrifugal pump is a hydraulic machine that converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy by using centrifugal force to act on the liquid. Centrifugal pumps are the most common type of pumps for transferring fluids from low to high levels. They are used in sectors including agriculture, municipal (water and wastewater plants), industrial, power generation plants, petroleum, mining, chemical, pharmaceutical, and others. When a mass of liquid is rotated by an external source, it is thrown away from the centrifugal axis of rotation and a head is impressed, allowing it to rise to a higher level. Centrifugal pumps are highly efficient and can be used for both viscous and non-viscous liquids.
Flying an aircraft is a complex procedure, requiring pilots to constantly be aware of the aircraft’s speed, orientation, altitude, and other characteristics. In order to monitor such conditions, pilots rely on a number of cockpit instruments that come in the form of dials, gauges, or display equipment depending on the aircraft in question. As correctly utilizing cockpit instruments will ensure a safer and more efficient flight, it is highly important that pilots are well aware of the common instruments and how they may be used.
For aircraft to ensure that they are capable of reaching their destinations safely and efficiently, a large amount of effort is poured into flight planning. As one of the biggest parts of flight planning, operators must ensure that a proper amount of fuel is supplied for the aircraft to both remain as light as possible while having a bit of extra fuel for any emergencies. With the aircraft fuel management system, pilots are given the ability to monitor fuel levels, rates, and more during a standard flight operation depending on the available instruments and devices.
Hydraulic pumps are an important tool in a broad range of applications. As they have many different uses, hydraulic pumps come in many different types. However, the most common types of hydraulic pumps are gear pumps, piston pumps, and vane pumps. In this blog, we will cover each type and its unique characteristics.
A gear is a type of machine element featuring teeth cut along a cylindrical or cone-shaped surface. By combining two gears, they are able to transmit rotations and forces from the driving shaft to a driven shaft. Gears can be classified by many characteristics, such as their shape, shaft position, and more. There are a wide range of gear types, but the most common, and the ones we will cover in this blog, are spur gears, helical gears, bevel gears, screw gears, worm gears, and internal gears.
