On Keeping Those V-Packing Seals in Excellent Shape

V-packing seals are unique packaging options. They are normally applied as outer lining solutions for cylindrical objects, such as whole driveshafts for piston-based overload equipment. The seals get their name from the V-shape design on one side of the ring, which allows for multiple seals of the same size to be stacked atop each other. … Continue reading

Bear the Wear and Tear with Versatile, Durable Plastic Flange Bushing

All sorts of machines need bearings, especially if said they have parts that rotate or pivot. Basically, the more moving parts there are, the more bearings are needed. While it does sound like these tools are always made of metal, that’s not always the case. Manufacturers will be glad to know that there are sturdy … Continue reading

Keeping Connections Leak-Proof and Secure with Durable Polymer Seals

Polymers can be used in a variety of applications, such as sealing connections. While the self-healing compound has yet to be produced for everyday use, regular polymers are durable enough to be used for normal home purposes such as leak plugging. Sturdy polymer seals, such as those produced by Advanced EMC Technologies, can secure links … Continue reading

Keep Things Rolling with Flange Bushings

The wheel is perhaps one of the earliest innovations in human technology, and today’s wheels haven’t changed much in basic principle, but have been instilled with millennia of improvements and embellishments to improve performance in specific applications. One such addition is the bushing, which is a type of bearing used to enable smooth rotating motion … Continue reading

Face to Face: Sealing Mechanical Surfaces

The beauty of machinery is that each component in a device works in concert with the others towards a desired output. Obviously, parts need to be connected to each other in order for a device to work smoothly. Devices that deal with liquids and gases will need tight seals at the junctions between parts to … Continue reading
