For many applications, mass market motors are not specific enough to get the job done. In these instances, many companies are left to design their own custom electric motor in order to complete the specific tasks that they need it to. While a lot...

AC/DC small motors are used across a wide variety of industries for an even wider variety of purposes. While many elements go into manufacturing an AC or DC small motor that will function as intended, one of the most important of these elements is...

Precision balls are used for a wide range of applications in the automotive industry, particularly braking applications in which precision fluid control is required. In fact, precision balls allow for much of the technology that makes modern...

Few components of modern machinery are as essential as bearings. Found in almost every machine or device that is designed to move, bearings and bearing parts enable rotation while reducing stress caused by friction. In this guide, we'll look at the...

In high-pressure applications, valves must be equipped with perfectly constructed balls in order to function properly. Even the slightest cracks, burs, or other imperfections on the surface of the ball can lead to leaking, and, in some cases, the...

When large pieces of machinery suddenly stop functioning, the results can sometimes be dramatic. This is especially true in the case of fluid power failures, where hydraulic and pneumatic systems that are being counted on to lift enormous amounts of...

Though it may be the oldest industry in the world, modern technology has certainly helped out the agriculture industry immensely. Now, all manner of technological devices are used to make farming both less time-consuming and more productive. One...

Flow control valves are used in an increasingly wide range of applications across most every industry. However, for them to function properly, they must be fitted with a ball that is made within extremely tight tolerances. Ball precision is a...

When most people think of valves, they likely picture a device that either allows flow or blocks it. However, there are a large number of applications where flow must be more controlled and metered than simply turning it on and off. For these...
