    pva glue systems

    Hi Does any one here have any experience with paper forming paper board ply in to edge boards. I am looking for information on what works and what doesn't work when it comes to applying glue to paper board ply's moving at 100 meter /min. All the ply's are in parallel so I cannot cascade the...

    Trying to move away from being hydraulic orientated engineer

    Loki I guess they are jealous. In the UK the general consensus to American engineer is they care more about climbing up the management ladder than doing engineering... I also think American Engineering is 20 years behind times to the if it ain't broke don't fix it approach. (bar the electronic...

    Trying to move away from being hydraulic orientated engineer

    As I have said before I have seen some brilliant word smiths in engineering but,they don't have a clue how to engineer to come with simple innovative solutions or even communicate clearly want they want. Some of the best engineers that I have worked with are dyslexic. Harping on about spelling...

    Engineering Department Woes...What to do?

    My advice is to lead by example, you have the opportunity to set some form organisation using excel sheets to log all the drawings/ documents and revisions. Smart numbering parts good folder practice on the network drive.it tedious to do but it is better than having nothing. If you are smart...

    Trying to move away from being hydraulic orientated engineer

    Mike I have never been the greatest wordsmith in the world but, I assure you my work is not sloppy. I have seen some good wordsmiths produce absolutely abysmal work and technically incorrect work, though the spelling and grammar was good, I have been the one who had to untangle the mess they...

    Trying to move away from being hydraulic orientated engineer

    Been there done that with peralistic pumps, tryng to explain to another engineer that you need to use the correct press fit to stop the bearings failing. They were trying to avoid doing press fits on the assembly line. Done the transiant CFD and developed a range of centrifugal pumps that...

    AUTODESK ILOGIC VS SOLIDWORKS DRIVERWORKS?

    Autodesk has a lot less useful feature than SW, lot of what ilogic is been used for is to replicate these features...

    Trying to move away from being hydraulic orientated engineer

    I already have a engineering Degree in Mechanical engineering, I have done mechanical design and development and I really enjoyed it, hydrualics is a bit too cut and paste for me it more about buying in components and making them fit. Even pump design is relativly conservative as they will...

    Trying to move away from being hydraulic orientated engineer

    Hi I don't know about most you but I find hydraulic based engineering unchallenging and unintresting. I haves designed systems,pressure vessels, pumps, and I am currently designing valve blocks. I also don't enjoy my role as my team are treated as a drafting resource rather than an engineering...

    g6 fit and 316L

    80mm + 0.03H7 Bore and shaft 80mm +0 -0.05 parts are with in tolerance but the stickyness of the material make it hard to assemble. i.e ne need a hammer to force it in. Once it the part can rotate freely. What do you guy do to slacken of the tolerance or would it be better to go to a g6 H7 fit

    316L g6/h7 fit

    Part are in tolerance but they need a little force to fit and come apart it think it the stickyness of the material. Do any have any rules for ISO fits when it come to 316L.

    iso2858 pump market?

    The product is great quality and very reliable, but it is expensive and this puts off customers.

    iso2858 pump market?

    unfortunately my current ISO pumps last forever... .got some that have being running for 20 plus years with out maintenance.

    iso2858 pump market?

    I would like to develop an API 610/ API685 range but it would mean replacing every single existing design and starting again.... But looking at the competition I guess I would have to do that anyway. Hence why I am having to resort to asking dumb questions on here.

    iso2858 pump market?

    Yep even offered a prize. But my distributors are too worried about losing customers, due to the risk of cross selling even though we are all part of the same group. I am trying to out find where it is effective to plough my very limited engineering resources to generate sustainable growth.

    iso2858 pump market?

    I was trying to be vague as possible. My boss says No one customer cares about wether the pump designs meet ISO2858 Spec. Yes it is more about mag drive units. And by plastic pumps I did mean plastic lined pumps. The position I am in is, that I cannot get any customer feedback hence I thought I...

    iso2858 pump market?

    Has the market for metallic ISO2858 units been replaced by plastic pumps in the chemical process industry?

    Static O-ring Groove design

    It a section view of a dimetrical seal. but one face and wall is formed on each part. the parker handbook does nt show this

    Static O-ring Groove design

    Can some tell me why this type O-ring groove design see attached for static seal. Is Not in the Parker handbook? Please note this is a legacy design and works up to 240 bar of pressure. I understand that if the tolerances are wrong I will not get correct compression on the o-ring. And other...
