Pressure vs velocity is more commonly known as the PV value in the engineering world. It is a calculation that is essential when ensuring the correct material is being specified for applications. But where does this calculation come from and why is it important to understand? Before you read this, if you would rather speak to someone about this topic as opposed to reading it, give us a call. If not, read on. Back to the beginning To understand the complexity and necessity of the relationship of pressure versus velocity, it is important you understated the history. It all starts with tribological properties of materials. “Tribo” is the Greek word for “rubbing or rub”. The study of the relationship between friction an...

It is an age old battle between buying cheap and it costing more in the long run or going for the expensive superior option and it costing less long term. In the Robotics industry this is a key bat...

Excessive heat and plastic bearings shouldn't be a combination that works however it can! It can work very successfully if the correct plastic is used. This blog explains a little bit about how hig...

Ensuring that your equipment is going to perform the best for you is paramount! And in some applications and industries is is even more important that components are performing at their optimum. So...
