Level Sensors Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBA sensor is able to detect a change and communicate that change with a user. Level sensors are generally designed for a specific application, rather than general application. There are two basic level-measurement types, point level and continuous level sensors. Below is a video which explains each measurement.
Diaphragm Valves Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications ...
WEBDiaphragm valves get their name from a flexible disc which comes into contact with a seat at the top of the valve body to form a seal. A diaphragm is a flexible, pressure responsive element that transmits force to open, close or control a valve. Diaphragm valves are related to pinch valves, but use an elastomeric diaphragm, instead of an ...
Linear Actuators Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications ...
WEBLinear 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. Linear actuators offer advantages including a simple design with minimal moving parts. They are self-contained and can achieve high speeds ...
Bolts Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications - GlobalSpec
WEBA bolt is a type of threaded hardware fastener that is used to position two workpieces in specific relation to each other. Bolts come in several configurations for their application and specification variances. Since the terms "bolt" and "screw" were in use before the advent of easily-produced helix fasteners, they are often synonymous.
Thrust Bearings Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBThrust bearings have rolling elements which primarily support the axial loads of rotating devices. Several styles of bearings are available in thrust configurations. Whereas radial-load bearings locate ball or roller races on the opposing inner and outer bearing rings, most thrust bearings have raceways machined into the faces of mating rings.
Pneumatic Valve Actuators Selection Guide: Types, Features ...
WEBPneumatic actuator for valves and dampers. Video Credit: Industrial Controls / CC BY-SA 4.0 Actuation time is the time it takes to fully close the linear motion valve.. Acting type is an additional specification.. With single-acting devices, fluid pressure actuates the valve in one direction while a compressed spring actuates the valve in the other.. With double-acting devices, fluid pressure ...
DC Motors Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBDC Motors Information. DC motors are electric motors that are powered by direct current (DC), such as from a battery or DC power supply. Their commutation can be brushed or brushless. The speed of a brushed DC motor can be controlled by changing the voltage alone. By contrast, an AC motor is powered by alternating current (AC) which is defined ...
Washers Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications - GlobalSpec
WEBLock washers are used to secure fasteners. Spring washers are a load bearing device that provides a preload between two surfaces. Other common types include flat washers, C-washers, D-shaped washers, countersunk or finishing washers, fender washers, SAE washers, torque washers, and shoulder washers. Spring Washers.
Filter Media Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBFilter media is material that actively separates solids from a solution and/or binds select materials in a solution. Base fluids may include coolants, corrosive chemicals, gasoline, diesel fuel, hydraulic fluid, lubricants, water, oil, inks, dies, and paints. Filter media can also remove particulates and contaminants from gas or air.
Globe Valves Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBFeatures. Globe valves are available with features for additional precision and safety. Positioners - Positioners allow operators to identify how open or closed the valve is for throttling. Limit switches - Limit switches limit how far the valve is able to open to close to protect the internal components of the valve.
