What are Lift Stations?

Source: http://romtecutilities.com/ LIFT STATION Wastewater treatment is an important process, used for removing contaminants from wastewater so it could be discharged back into the water cycle with minimum impact on the environment. Drainage systems were invented during the Ancient Rome times. They consisted in surface conduits that were used to collect drainage water and spill it [...]

CHOOSING THE RIGHT ACTUATOR – Part 2

GUIDELINES TO PURCHASE AN ACTUATORConsider these variables when purchasing your actuators.Consider the motion profile. This will determine your need on minimum and maximum speed requirements.Load calculation. It is important to consider different components like friction load, inertial load, the external applied load and others. Note: calculations will also depend on the orientation of the actuator.Duty [...]

CHOOSING THE RIGHT ACTUATOR – Part 1

TIPS ON HOW TO CHOOSE ACTUATORS Knowledge on parameters such as loading, stroke length, timing, and others, are important in picking powered actuators. Many of these parameters have limits as to speed and force and narrowing the selection in this manner can bring the appropriate technology into focus. It also needs to keep in [...]

TYPES OF ELECTRIC ACTUATORS

Electric Linear Actuators are electrically powered, mechanical devices consisting of motors, linear guides, and drive mechanisms, used to convert electrical energy into linear displacement through mechanical transmission, electro-magnetism, or thermal expansion to provide straight line push/pull motion. They are used in a wide range of industries where linear positioning is needed. The actuators are driven [...]
