Guide To Suppliers

For those looking to experience the latest advancements in power transmission, motion control and engine braking solutions, Altra Industrial Motion Corp. has launched its new virtual exhibition stand.

In the competitive world of product design it is often the case that the early bird catches the worm. In other words, if you launch your latest product before your competitor you have a far higher chance of recouping your R&D costs and taking the market lead. To achieve this, engineers are put under immense pressure to deliver prototypes on extremely short lead times – meaning they need to be able to trust their supplier.

As with most of the components that keep high power industrial transmissions running smoothly and efficiently, most of us probably don’t notice the spinning cylinder mounted between the torque supply and the driven device.

A composite water jacket has been developed that enables seawater to be used directly to cool clutches and tensioning brakes deployed in offshore duties, without fear of corrosion damage

Twiflex modular brakes are providing up to 35 MNm of total braking torque on two 8-metre ball mills, which are part of South Africa's - and probably the world's - biggest platinum concentrator, at Anglo Platinum's Mogalakwena (previously PPRust) mine near Mokopane. The new concentrator ex-pands milling capacity by 600,000 tons per month, producing an additional 230,000 ounces of platinum per annum and bringing total platinum production at the mine to 430, 000 ounces per year.
