  in the topic Scientists Create Carbon Nanotube Film Stronger in the forum News and Announcements

  Scientists Create Carbon Nanotube Film Stronger Scientists have been experimenting with carbon nanotubes to create a host of things—everything from smaller resistors to smart skin. Not only is carbon nanotube exceptionally strong, it also possesses excellent conductive properties and flexibility.Get more news about carbon nanotube film seller ,you can vist our website! A new study published in Nano Letters by researchers at East China University revealed that they have been able to create a film from carbon nanotubes that is five times stronger than prior films. Not only is it stronger than previously fabricated films, the new material is also stronger than films made from Kevlar or carbon fiber. The research is groundbreaking, considering the difficulties of maintaining the mechanical properties of individual nanotubes once converted into films. What is different in the new material is that the nanotubes are densely packed to each other and oriented parallel to each others, giving the films stronger strength. To accomplish this, the researchers did not try to align the nanotubes by spraying or filtering like previous studies did before. but instead developed their own, entirely new method. By using a rotating drum, they were able to wind the carbon nanotubes around before flattening and cooling them into a two-layer film. They then compress the nanotubes further by using rollers. By varying the rotation of the drum faster, the scientists were able to find that faster winding would allow the nanotubes to align better.While the process may seem oddly simple, the strength of the resulting material is nothing to scoff at. The films produced had an average of 9.6 gigapascals. In contrast, films produced by prior research had only reached 2 GPa, while that of Kevlar and carbon fiber is around 3.7 and 7 GPa, respectively. Beyond that, the film is four times as pliable and stretchable as carbon fiber.

  in the topic The effect of leveling machine on sheet metal in the forum News and Announcements

  The effect of leveling machine on sheet metal A leveling machine is a machine that performs a series of processing operations such as uncoiling, leveling, and shearing of sheet metal. So, what are the effects of leveling machine on sheet metal?Get more news about coil leveling,you can vist our website!1. Adapt to the materialDue to the increasing application of high tensile strength materials in the sheet metal industry, the leveling of materials requires greater leveling pressure. In the leveling process, higher leveling pressure will inevitably affect the structure of the machine tool and the leveling roller. Equipment is very important to the quality of leveling and the life of the machine tool. 2. Improve the quality of sheet metal Steel plate leveling machine is a machine used to correct defects in coils and plates. These defects include longitudinal curling, lateral warping, twisting, edge sickle, wavy edges, coil cracks and bumps. If we use a leveling machine, these defects can be solved well, so that the quality of the entire sheet metal will be improved.3. Remove the stress of the material The steel plate leveling machine is used to level the plate, which can remove the stress in the material. Mainly because the leveling technology can selectively extend each part of the material. In order to obtain a consistent fiber length, below the yield point of the material, the shorter part of the sheet fiber is elongated proportionally. When the material passes through the steel plate leveling machine, it is cyclically bent up and down with a smaller radius of curvature, so that the shorter material fibers are elongated. When the sheet material moves toward the exit of the steel plate leveling machine, the amplitude of the up and down bending is gradually reduced to prevent the material deformation caused by the severe bending at the entrance of the machine leveling machine. The steel plate leveling machine is a large-scale mechanized equipment, a set of continuous production lines composed of many mechanical equipment. Therefore, the steel plate leveling machine will inevitably produce some vibration during use. If the vibration is too large, it will also cause noise pollution. So is there any way to avoid the vibration of the steel plate leveling machine?1. The main measure we have to take is to eliminate the source of vibration, and then stay away from the resonance zone. Usually, we need to adjust the operating parameters of each part of the system to keep the steel plate leveling machine away from the natural frequency of the system, so as to avoid the occurrence of resonance. 2. Adding support members at the front end of the flat belt conveyor can improve the rigidity of the system. 3. If the bearing is damaged, it should be replaced in time and the rollers should be balanced. In order to improve the rigidity of the system, the natural frequency of the system can also be changed.

  in the topic How to Extend the Life of Your Slewing Ring Bearings in the forum News and Announcements

  How to Extend the Life of Your Slewing Ring Bearings Premature failure is a common fate for large-diameter (e.g., 8″ to 10′) bearings in heavy-duty applications where rotations are frequent. In big rotating equipment, such as cranes, excavators and tunnel boring machines, a slewing ring bearing must simultaneously handle a complex load spectrum that covers diverse combinations of thrust, radial and tilting moment loading.Get more news about Swing Bearing,you can vist our website! Fortunately, there’s an easy way to protect your investment in these custom-engineered bearings. It’s called regular maintenance, and it can prevent 96% of slewing ring bearing failures. To maximize bearing life, simply follow these four tips – raceway and gear lubrication, torque checks on bolts, and seal inspection – and be alert for four warning signs of potential bearing problems.A bearing should be lubricated at regular intervals with heavy-duty, extreme-pressure grease. Apply a liberal shot to the fittings around the bearing’s circumference at the interval recommended in the operator’s manual. Slowly-rotating equipment or oscillating applications (e.g., backhoes, excavators, cranes) should be re-lubricated about every 100 hours of operation. More frequent lubrication – every day or even every eight hours – may be needed on equipment that moves rapidly or rotates continuously, such as trenchers and boring machines. While adding grease, the bearings should be rotated to spread the grease throughout. Pump it in until you see the old grease squeeze past the seal; this is called purging. Purged grease carries contaminants out of the bearing. Rub some between your thumb and forefinger… if you feel grit or metal chips, you may have a bearing problem. Grease tends to dry out over long periods of time, allowing condensation to form within a bearing. You can avoid this by introducing grease at least every six months, even when the equipment is sitting idle. Gear LubricationMost large bearings have gear teeth that require lubrication, and those requirements are different than they are for the bearing itself. Since the meshing action of the teeth tends to squeeze out lubricant, gears should be lubricated every eight hours on slow-rotating or intermittently rotating equipment, and more often on rapidly or continuously rotating equipment. Small amounts of grease should be introduced at the point of mesh between the gear and pinion. SealsThe seals on the bearing should be visually inspected periodically to be sure they are intact. Many people overlook the importance of seals, but they aid considerably in preventing bearing raceway contamination. BoltsA torque check on bolts should be part of any routine maintenance procedure. The frequency of these checks depends on the severity of service. Vibration and shock tend to loosen bolts, but periodic torque checks and tightening will help maintain the proper preload level. Mounting bolts should be torqued to the proper level and checked periodically to ensure proper pre-tension. Improperly pre-tensioned bolts can fail, causing damage to equipment and, even more importantly, injuries to workers. Bolt creep is another factor that should be monitored. Tightened bolts tend to creep or elongate over a period of time, reducing preload. Elevated temperatures can also increase bolt creep, so take this into consideration when developing a torque-check schedule.
