ABB Launches Smart Sensor to Monitor Bearing Health and Reduce Downtime

In our eBook 36 Ways to Kill Your Pump, we uncover several reasons why bearings fail prematurely. Symptoms of bearing failure include flaking, pitting, unusual wear patters, rust, corrosion, etc., but if cared for properly, bearings can offer substantial service life even under the harshest conditio

Engineers have developed a sensor system and manufacturing process for smart contact lenses. The sensor system contains a photodetector for receiving optical information, a temperature sensor for diagnosing potential corneal disease, and a glucose sensor for directly monitoring the glucose levels in

What is a bearing?When it comes to mechanical parts, bearings are vital mechanical parts that limit relative motion to the desired range and are used to withstand and reduce friction between moving parts.The design of the spindle bearing can make th

Have you ever effortlessly glided on an ice skating rink? Or slid across a wood floor in your socks? If you haven’t, you definitely need to. If you have, you’ve experienced the exhilarating weightlessness that comes from low friction. While an essential force in our material world, friction can caus
