An air compressor is the backbone of most shops — it powers tools and keeps equipment running cleanly and smoothly. An air compressor can make or break your shop, depending on how efficiently it runs. If you’re running an older compressor or have noticed a drop in performance, here are a few tips and tricks to help you keep your compressor run more efficiently. Keep up With Compressor Maintenance Just like with your car, lawnmower or any other tool that uses an engine, air compressors require regular maintenance too. Some things to look at if your compressor is starting to…
Specialty Chemicals Company LANXESS has commissioned a new production line at its Mannheim site for the synthesis of dimercaptothiadiazole (DMTD) derivatives.

In recent years, wind energy has become one of the most common renewable energy sources, leading the transition away from fossil fuels. The industry has been moving forward relentlessly throughout innovation and change, thus improving its competitive cost, and an assertive policy of developing renewable energies by governments.Wind turbine prices have fallen by almost a third since 2009 due to enhancements in turbine technology and onshore wind is now a competitive source of electricity compared to nuclear, coal or gas. Moreover, wind power costs are expected to decline even further, averaging 26% to 35% by 2025.Environmental benefits are also associated…
In order to minimise positioning errors in machine tools, the eddy current sensor SGS 4701 measures the thermal extension of high-frequency spindles.The spindle is at the heart of a machine tool and so plays a decisive role in the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the respective workpiece. High speeds and the heat generated result in the axial extension of the workpiece spindle and to the resultant positioning error during finishing of the workpiece. The new eddyNCDT SGS 4701 miniature eddy current sensor measures the thermal and centrifugal force extension of high-frequency spindles by measuring on the labyrinth-ring. The measured…
