Linear Actuators Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications ...
WEBLinear actuators are mechanical devices used to move items through a system. The device uses energy to develop force and motion in a linear manner, as opposed to a rotational motion in an electric motor. Linear actuators offer advantages including a simple design with minimal moving parts. They are self-contained and can achieve high speeds ...
Washers Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications - GlobalSpec
WEBLock washers are used to secure fasteners. Spring washers are a load bearing device that provides a preload between two surfaces. Other common types include flat washers, C-washers, D-shaped washers, countersunk or finishing washers, fender washers, SAE washers, torque washers, and shoulder washers. Spring Washers.
Level Sensors Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBA sensor is able to detect a change and communicate that change with a user. Level sensors are generally designed for a specific application, rather than general application. There are two basic level-measurement types, point level and continuous level sensors. Below is a video which explains each measurement.
Electrical Connectors Selection Guide: Types, Features, …
WEBElectrical connectors are devices that join electrical circuits together. Most connectors are removable or temporary, but some can be permanent. Connectors make electronic products easier to assemble and manufacture. They also ease circuit repairs and allow flexibility in design and modification.
Bolts Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications - GlobalSpec
WEBA bolt is a type of threaded hardware fastener that is used to position two workpieces in specific relation to each other. Bolts come in several configurations for their application and specification variances. Since the terms "bolt" and "screw" were in use before the advent of easily-produced helix fasteners, they are often synonymous.

Diaphragm Valves Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications ...
WEBA diaphragm is a flexible, pressure responsive element that transmits force to open, close or control a valve. Diaphragm valves are related to pinch valves, but use an elastomeric diaphragm, instead of an elastomeric liner in the valve body, to separate the flow stream from the closure element. Advantages. Disadvantages.
Pressure Sensors Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications ...
WEBPressure in moving fluids can be calculated using the equation P1 = ρVO2/2; where ρ is fluid density, and VO is the fluid velocity. Impact pressure is the pressure a moving fluid exerts parallel to the flow direction. Dynamic pressure measures more "real-life" applications. Pressure is in all directions in a fluid.
Globe Valves Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBFeatures. Globe valves are available with features for additional precision and safety. Positioners - Positioners allow operators to identify how open or closed the valve is for throttling. Limit switches - Limit switches limit how far the valve is able to open to close to protect the internal components of the valve.
Gate Valves Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
WEBGate valves are usually divided into two types: parallel and wedge-shaped. The parallel gate valve uses a flat disc gate between two parallel seats, upstream and downstream. Shut-off is obtained by the free-floating seat or disk gate allow the upstream pressure to seal the seat and disk against any unwanted seat leakage.
