Medical device component manufacturers are held to high standards, most notably the guidelines set forth by the Good Manufacturing Practices for finished pharmaceuticals and medical devices. These guidelines require four separate process validations...
In designing a new product, few things are as important as the materials you decide to use. This is especially true in the case of medical devices, which must perform at an even higher standard and meet even more rigorous qualifications than most...
Watch the step-by-step manufacturing process of how Hartford Technologies produces high quality precision steel balls at one of our manufacturing facilities in China.
It's important to monitor the performance of the bearings in your machine designs to keep them running at 100% efficiency and increase the length of their life-cycle. What, though, are the best metrics and methods for determining if the ball...
The manufacture and design of auto parts relies heavily on the use of technology. Innovations and trends within the industry continue to push the envelope for change as key elements are delivered to the market. Pivotal trends -- including the ones...
Ball bearings may be a relatively simple component, but a lot of innovation and engineering goes into producing ball bearings that are more effective, longer lasting, and more cost efficient. By far, the most important aspect of manufacturing...
It would be difficult to imagine the modern industrial age without bearings. Every kind of machine that deals will motion makes use of bearings to smoothen its path and reduce friction. Such an important piece of technology did not fall into the...
Needle bearings make use of small cylindrical rollers to carry out their function. The term “needle” implies that the length is much greater than the diameter; typically the L/D ratio is between 3 and 10. The main purpose of needle bearings is to...
Food and Beverage industry regulations are increasingly placing greater demands for production of safe drinks. To meet these demands, plus the requirements of safety management systems such as Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points (HACCP), the...
