  • Miniature motor selection and the role of inertia

    Early involvement of motion designers in an application or machine means that the most effective results can be reached early in the process with no impact in time to market. For design applications that depend on motion, whether that is a robot, a surgical power tool, or a satellite control system, miniature DC motors are…


  • Turbocompressors for smaller treatment works

    Aeration in both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment is crucial to removing organic contaminants. Found at the heart of this process, noisy blowers have traditionally been the source of significant operational costs. With the launch of the HST 10, smaller sewage plants processing less than 10,000 m3/day (40,000 population equivalent) can take advantage of the…
