Load cells are responsible for measuring the weight or force applied on a scale. In essence, load cells determine the accuracy of a weighing balance. There are two primary forms of load cells, analog and digital. In this article, we're gonna make a simple differentiation of both. Simply put, the difference between an analog and a digital load cell is how their signal is processed. They differ in three major ways: signal strength, signal content and data sample rate.

Centrifugal pumps are currently utilized across a vast array of domestic and industrial processes. From supplying the water used in residential buildings to industrial applications like food, beverage, and chemical manufacturing, different types of centrifugal pumps are required to effectively meet pumping requirements. The centrifugal pumps can be classified based on many factors such as construction, design, application and industrial standards. Therefore, one centrifugal pump can be placed into different groups at the same time. In this article, we will introduce three classifications of centrifugal pumps.

Peristaltic pump is also called peristaltic metering pump, constant flow pump, peristaltic hose pump. A peristaltic pump is a liquid transmission device that can control the flow rate. By repeatedly compressing the elastic tubing, the liquid in hose moves in a certain direction, and its flow rate is determined by the diameter of tubing and the compression speed. The liquid is delivered by alternately squeezing and releasing the elastic delivery hose of the pump. In this article, we will introduce structure, working principle and selection of peristaltic pump.

Modern industrial automated machinery is powered mostly by motors. The torque generated from a rotating motor provides the driving force for moving conveyor belts, gears, chains and other mechanical components, so a motor naturally becomes such an integral part that is key to the driving system. When it comes to the protection of the core power part, you can't pay too much attention to it. Thermal overload relays are used to provide overload protection, open-phase protection and protection against the unbalanced current for motors and they can also avoid heating in electrical equipment. The thermal overload relay works by the thermal effect of electric current to push the action mechanism to make or break contacts for the protection of electrical appliances.

Thanks to the rapid development of technology nowadays, there are various kinds of isolation switches on the market, designed for different uses. They may be intended specifically for industrial applications or for home use. Choice of isolator switches depends on the requirement and application. We'll take a look at them one at a time and try to understand what's special about them. In this article, we will talk about types and applications of isolator.

A screw feeder is a mechanism that uses a rotating screw blade, usually inside a tube, to move liquid or granular materials. They are used in many bulk handling industries. Screw conveyors in modern industry are often used horizontally or slightly inclined as an efficient way to convey semi-solid materials including food waste, wood chips, aggregates, grains, animal feed, boiler ash, meat and bone meal, municipal solid waste, and Many others. Screw conveyors can move material horizontally inclined or vertically. They are used for feeding, dispensing, collecting or mixing, and can be equipped with heating or cooling when transferring using appropriate covers and gaskets, they are easily dust or weatherproof and rodent proof.

A rotary switch is a switch operated by rotation. These are often chosen when more than 2 positions are needed. A rotary switch consists of a spindle or "rotor" that has a contact arm or "spoke" which projects from its surface like a cam. It has an array of terminals, arranged in a circle around the rotor, each of which serves as a contact for the "spoke" through which any one of a number of different electrical circuits can be connected to the rotor. The switch is layered to allow the use of multiple poles; each layer is equivalent to one pole. Alternatively the rotation can be limited to a fraction (half; third etc.) of a circle and then each layer can have multiple (two; three etc.) poles.

The working process of the main circuit of the linear DC power supply is that the input power supply is initially AC stabilized by the pre-stabilizing circuit, and then converted into a DC power supply through the isolation and rectification of the main working transformer, and then under the intelligent control of the control circuit and the single-chip microprocessor controller. The linear adjustment element is finely adjusted to output a high-precision DC voltage source. The linear DC power supply products can be widely used in scientific research, colleges and universities, laboratories, industrial and mining
enterprises, electrolysis, electroplating, charging equipment, etc.

A single-phase isolation transformer is a transformer whose primary winding is a single-phase winding. The primary winding and secondary winding of a single-phase transformer are wound on the iron core. The primary winding is the AC voltage input terminal, and the secondary winding is the AC voltage output terminal. The output voltage of the secondary winding is proportional to the number of turns of the coil. A single-phase transformer can convert high-voltage power supply into single-phase low-voltage for use in various equipment. For example, AC 6600V high voltage can be converted into AC 220V low-voltage through a single-phase transformer to supply power for lighting or other equipment. The single-phase transformer has a simple structure, With the advantages of small size and low loss, it is suitable for use in low-voltage distribution lines (below 60Hz) with less load.

Alternating current power is a form of electricity in which power flows constantly in changing directions. Since the early 19th century, AC is the form of power that has been used in homes and businesses. However, for most businesses and industries, three phase AC power provided by single phase to three phase converters is used because it accommodates higher power loads. Three phase power consists of 3 power wires and each one of them is 120 degrees out of phase with each other.

Do garage door openers have power? Insert a light into the socket. If the light does not come on, check the fuse box or circuit breaker. Are all doors unlocked? Re-read the installation instructions warnings. Is there ice or snow under the door? The door may have frozen to the ground. Clear obstacles. The garage door spring may have broken. Ask a qualified person to replace it.

CNC router machine is an automatic processing equipment developed on the basis of general milling machines. The processing technology of the two is basically the same, and the structure is also somewhat similar. CNC milling machines are divided into two categories: without tool magazine and with tool magazine. Among them, the CNC milling machine with a tool magazine is also called a machining center.

Blowers are equipment or devices which increase the velocity of air or gas when passed through equipped impellers. They are mainly used for flow of air/gas required for exhausting, aspirating, cooling, ventilating, conveying etc. Air blower machines are a simple and effective electrical device used in homes and industries to blow away dust from every nook and corner. For gadgets and electronics that have delicate parts that cannot be cleaned with a cloth, this is when you need air blowers to remove dust with its continuous air pressure. This durable and efficient machine saves a good amount of time and effort consumed in cleaning and dusting tasks.

An automatic transfer switch (ATS) is a device that automatically transfers a power supply from its primary source to a backup source when it senses a failure or outage in the primary source. When a failure occurs in a primary power system, the ATS invokes a standby power source, such as an uninterruptable power supply. An ATS can also start up more long-term backup power systems, such as local diesel generators, to run electric equipment until utility power is restored.

Shunt means parallel. In simple words, the capacitor is connected in parallel with a load or power supply is called shunt capacitor. The series and parallel combination of a no. of shunt capacitors is called shunt capacitor bank. So shunt capacitor is not a special device. It is a normal capacitor only, it is called a shunt capacitor because of its parallel connection with the load. Shunt capacitors are used in transmission lines, power systems, with inductive loads. So AC or non-polarized capacitors are used as shunt capacitors. For DC circuits or DC applications polarized capacitors are used.

A slip ring is an electromechanical device that allows the transmission of power and electrical signals from a stationary to a rotating structure. A slip ring can be used in any electromechanical system that requires rotation while transmitting power or signals. It can improve mechanical performance, simplify system operation and eliminate damage-prone wires dangling from movable joints.They can be used on any rotating object to transfer power, control circuits, or analog or digital signals including data such as those found on aerodrome beacons, rotating tanks, power shovels.
