Bearings are useful devices for supporting rotating shafts and reducing the friction between moving parts. One major type is flanged bearings which are commonly found in various applications, ranging in use from automotive and industrial machinery to household appliances. In this blog post, we will explore the applications of flange bearings and discuss some of the most common subtypes. Read more >>

The primary way in which most aircraft fly is through the combustion of fuel and air within a reciprocating or turbine engine, and the majority of engines are designed to operate most efficiently with air that is at sea-level pressure. This is because air density decreases with altitude, leading to a lower power output as an aircraft climbs higher. To prevent hazards such as losing altitude as a result of low lift production, many piston engine aircraft utilize what is known as a turbocharger to fly with increased power. Read more >>

As there are a wide range of fastener types available on the market, figuring out all their slight variations can be difficult. Fasteners also differ according to use and application, meaning that while some fasteners work optimally for heavy-duty use, others may only work well for smaller, less demanding projects. In this blog, we will go over various types of fasteners and their unique features. Read more >>

With a myriad of industries relying on fasteners to secure part types and machinery, there are countless types of fasteners available on the market. These include nuts, bolts, screws, and all of their subtypes of specialized designs, such as the focus of this blog: sealing fasteners. Sealing fasteners are unique in their ability to protect contaminants from entering a system. With high-tech properties and reliability across many applications, sealing fasteners are a staple of the military and aerospace sectors, finding use in fuel pumps of jet and rocket engines, satellite equipment, and more. For your better knowledge, we will explore the functions of these specialized fasteners and some examples of typical use. Read more >>

When it comes to any vehicle including an aircraft, securing hardware is a primary task that needs to be done for safety. Loose hardware wiring can be a cause of tragic accidents and threaten many lives. As a result, it is crucial to secure the aircraft’s bolts and fasteners with safety wires to prevent accidents. Furthermore, one should always check such assemblies often to confirm whether they are tight and ready before take-off. Read more >>
