What are Simple Machines? Simple machines are machines with no or very few moving parts. They reduce the required work by providing a mechanical advantage. For example, a lever can reduce the force required to lift heavy objects, and a pulley can chan ...
What are various types of Gaskets ? A Gasket is a type of mechanical seal that fills the space between mating surfaces. Various types of gaskets take care of irregularities to prevent (gas or fluid) leakage in the joint in the compressed condition.Thi ...
A pipe coupling or coupler has an application to join or connect the pipe section. Different types of pipe coupling are available to join pipes. Each type has its applications. Sometimes pipe couplers are also used with adhesives or gaskets to join pipes. ...
Mechanical advantage or "MA" has application to lift heavy loads by applying small force or changing the direction of applied force. All simple and complex machines we use in our day to day life have some MA. What is Mechanical Advantage? Mechani ...
What is Factor of Safety? Factor-of-Safety in design and engineering defines how safe a design or product is from the required specification. In layman's language, the Safety Factor is the ratio of actual capacity and the demand value. ...
Plastics are widely used to manufacture consumer electronics, telecom, and automotive parts. You can use various joining techniques such as screws, snap joints, and plastic welding to join plastic parts. But each plastic joining technique has its challeng ...
Both titanium and aluminum are lightweight, high strength, and corrosion-resistant materials. But they have different weight strength ratios and applications. This article covers the difference between titanium vs aluminum, their advantages, disadvantages ...
Different types of gyroscopic sensors (MEMS, Ring Laser Gyro, Optical & mechanical gyroscope) has different application scenarios. This article covers different types of gyroscopic sensor, their working, and their applications. What is Gyroscope? ...
What is Pitch Yaw and Roll Motion? A free body in 3-dimensional space can have three different rotational motions (Roll Pitch Yaw) along three orthogonal-axis. The axis of the object rotation is known as the Aircraft Principal Axis. These three rotati ...
What is CNC Machining? You must have heard the name "CNC" if you are into manufacturing or engineering stuff. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control". CNC Machines are automated control machines that utilize a computer program to mo ...
