Seals protect the bearings to insure a longer life and less required maintenance. Working conditions dictate when seals must be part of the design. For example, bi-pedal motion on humanoids that work in warehouses are exposed to dirt and dust. What Seals Do for Bearings Seal Impact on Torque The benefits of seals far outweigh …
Backlash, the clearance or play between components, poses a significant challenge in robotic systems. Left unchecked, it could lead to delays in motion transfer, resulting in imprecise positioning and reduced accuracy. This reduced accuracy causes shaking/jerky motion in the robot’s movement. Stay Up-to-Date on Motion Control CCTY’s monthly newsletter covers advancement in motion control along …
The development of humanoid robots has garnered significant attention as they are designed to mimic human form and movement. They rely heavily on articulating joints for their functionality. The seamless motion we observe in humanoid robots is made possible by a complex interplay of precision engineering, advanced materials, and cutting-edge technology, with bearings serving as …
The Role of Side Guide Bearings Side guide bearings are vital forklift components designed to ensure stability, precise steering, and reduced wear and tear. They play a pivotal role in guiding the mast assembly and forks along the vertical columns of the lift, providing the forklift operator with control over load handling and height adjustment. …
In the realm of robotics, few creations capture our imagination like robotic humanoids. These remarkable machines, designed to mimic human form and movement, stand as a testament to the advancements in motion control technology. As we venture into an era where robotics and AI intertwine, the fusion of robotic humanoids and cutting-edge motion control techniques …
When it comes to material handling equipment, efficiency and reliability are of utmost importance. Behind the scenes of these heavy-duty machines, there’s an unsung hero that plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth operations: the mast guide bearing. We are delving into the world of mast guide bearings, exploring what they are, how they work, …
Ever wonder about what a bearing engineer thinks of DIY ATV/UTV repairs?
CCTY has launched a podcast series – 4 Questions with an Engineer. The podcast features bearing engineers discussing specific applications, bearing design and how to improve bearing performance. The most recent episode features Corey Helgeson and what engineers look for in the bushings used in shock absorbers. “Podcasts are just another way that engineers can …
You’re listening to the four questions with an engineer podcast, the show that brings you bearing insights from CCTY. Today we are talking about shock absorber bushings with Corey Helgeson. Cory, what are the types of bearings used on shocks? So typically with the shock absorber there’s two locations for the bushings. One is in …
Welcome to four questions with an engineer, a podcast about bearings and motion control. Each episode discusses one aspect of motion control and the bearings that make it happen. We are joined by Corey Helgeson, a mechanical engineer from CCTY’s US office. On today’s episode we’re talking about bushings founding seats. Corey, can you tell us …
