During the starting process for a reciprocating engine, the overall output of the magneto may be low as a result of slow engine cranking speed. The cranking speed is often affected by the voltage induced to the magneto circuit, that of which can be bolstered with a stronger magnet or by having an increased rate of relative motion between the conductor and ignition magneto. As these two factors are unchangeable in a finalized magneto ignition system, the only way to raise induced voltage is to increase the speed at which the magnet itself rotates. In order to generate the speed necessary for a magnet to successfully create a jumping spark for ignition, the magneto is attached to an auxiliary ignition unit.

Attenuators are two-port electronic devices, consisting of a series of resistors that reduce the strength of a radio or audio signal. Attenuators are considered passive circuits as they work without the need for a power supply. They are available as either fixed attenuators with a fixed attenuation level or as a continuously changing attenuator.

Hydraulic power units, also known as hydraulic power packs, are systems that may create rotary motion, linear motion, or force through the use of enclosed and pressurized fluids. Hydraulic power units are self-contained, such systems comprising a motor, pump, and fluid reservoir. With the use of their assembly and fluids, pressure may be generated for driving parts.

Temperature refers to the physical quantity of heat or cold in an area or object, serving as a manifestation of thermal energy. Depending upon the application, various units may be used to express temperature, common ones being Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin, etc. When one wishes to determine the temperature of a given object or area, there are also numerous tools which one may rely on to receive accurate results. Thermometers are a common device that measures temperature on a gradient, and they may come in a number of types to accommodate varying needs. With the pyrometer in particular, users may quickly measure the temperature of distant objects. As a tool that is regularly used in many industries and operations, having an understanding of the pyrometer and its functionality can be very useful.

With conveyor belts and their related systems, a large amount of materials and items may be transported through automatic means. From manufacturing facilities to airport baggage claim systems, conveyors can increase the efficiency of a workplace by lowering safety risks, minimizing human errors, and reducing labor costs. With the various types of conveyor systems available on the market, understanding their differences and applications can help you make a more well-informed decision for your operations.

A riveting machine is a machine used to automatically set or squeeze rivets in order to join materials together. When compared to manual riveting, a riveting machine offers greater consistency, productivity, and lower cost. Today there are so many types of riveting machines available that it can be difficult to know which is the right one for you. This blog will explore a few types of riveting machines and their unique characteristics.

The aspect ratio of a turbocharger’s housing is very important for aircraft engine and its boost ability. When aspect ratios are too small, there is little ability to create boost at lower speeds. On the other hand, having too great of a ratio can cause the engine to choke while in higher speeds, leading to drawbacks such as high pumping losses and lower output of power. Variable geometry turbochargers serve as a solution for this problem and are a rapidly developing technology.

Heat is produced in an engine primarily through the combustion process— when fuel and air is mixed and burned to produce heat energy that is converted to mechanical energy for rotation or to produce high-pressure exhaust. The material that is used to construct an engine has high heat capabilities, however, excessive heat can cause serious damage or failure to an engine.

Most of us have driven or been in an old car at some point in our lives. Whether it was the hand-me-down car you got from your parents for a 16th birthday, or the menace-to-society that a first date rolls up in, being in an older car with torque problems can be a bit scary. Torque converters transmit, or multiply, torque generated by an engine. Automatic transmission cars use torque converters because they allow the engine to keep turning while the wheels and gears in a transmission come to a stop. Manual cars achieve this with the clutch. Some cars, buses, trucks, forwarders and other heavy-duty vehicles, and marine propulsion systems use torque converters. There are four components inside a torque converters housing: the pump, turbine, stator, and transmission fluid.

Earlier this year, Kaman Aerospace Corporation, based out of Bloomfield, Connecticut, made the announcement that they have placed the largest order on Joint Programmable Fuzes, to date. The order totaled in at three-hundred and twenty-four million dollars and will be delivered over a four-year span, between 2019 and 2022.
