Axial lead resistors consist of a winding of resistive wire on a cylindrical ceramic substrate. The current or voltage leads are made of metal wire (generally copper plated with a tin-lead alloy) ...

Anytime flammable liquids, gases, and combustible powders/dusts are handled, the operator should always bond and/or ground the process to ensure safe operations. Implementation of static control ...

A semiconductor diode is a non-linear device whose most outstanding feature is the fact that, basically, current is only allowed to flow in one direction. The diode is built by joining together two ...

RoHS Compliant Power Transformers are transformers that adhere to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, which restricts the use of specific hazardous materials found in electrical ...

A 230V to 115V transformer is a device designed to convert electrical energy from a higher voltage level (230V) to a lower voltage level (115V). This type of transformer is commonly used in ...

RoHS Compliant LED Drivers are designed to meet the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, which limits the use of specific hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic ...

This large library of free industrial online webinars available from GlobalSpec's partners covers the big trends in engineering.

Diaphragm pumps are positive displacement pump which move gases, liquids, or gas-liquid mixtures via a reciprocating diaphragm. They are highly reliable because they do not include internal parts that ...

Air springs contain a column of air in an elastomeric bellow or sleeve to provide suspension, isolation, or actuation. Commonly found in vehicle suspension systems, occasionally in conjunction with a ...

Pillow block bearings, sometimes referred to as plummer block bearings, are mounted bearings that are used to provide load support for a rotating shaft. Their mounting surface is on a plane parallel ...

Check valves are self-activating safety valves that permit gases and liquids to flow in only one direction. The purpose of a check valve is to prevent process flow from reversing in the system which ...

Ball valves are quarter-turn, straight-through valves that have a round closure element with matching rounded seats that permit uniform sealing stress. The valve gets its name from the ball that ...
