Sound Level Meter

Sound Level Meters measure sound pressure level and are commonly used in noise pollution studies for the quantification of almost any noise, but especially for industrial, environmental and aircraft noise. However, the reading given by a sound level meter... Read >

Electromagnetic Clutch

A Clutch is a mechanical device, which provides driving force to another mechanism, typically by connecting the driven mechanism to the driving mechanism. Its opposite component is a brake, which inhibits motion. Clutches are useful in devices that hav... Read >

Boiler/Steam Generator

A Boiler or Steam Generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water. Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low to medium pressure (1–... Read >

Electronic Timers

A timer is a specialized type of clock. A timer can be used to control the sequence of an event or process. Whereas a stopwatch counts upwards from zero for measuring elapsed time, a timer counts down from a specified time interval, like an hourglass. Tim... Read >

Thermocouples

A thermocouple is a junction between two different metals that produces a voltage related to a temperature difference. Thermocouples are a widely used type of temperature sensor for measurement and control and can also be used to convert heat into electri... Read >

Electric Actuator

Actuators are used for the automation of industrial valves and can be used in all kinds of technical process plants such as wastewater treatment plants, power plants and even refineries. The valves to be automated vary both in design and dimension. The di... Read >

Submersible Pumps for Drainage, Sewage & Industrial Applications

A pump is a device used to move fluids, such as liquids or slurries, or gases. A pump displaces a volume by physical or mechanical action. A Submersible Pump (or electric submersible pump (ESP)) is a device which has a hermetically sealed motor close-... Read >

All about Sensors

A sensor is a device, which receives and responds to a signal or stimulus. The "stimulus" means a property or a quantity that needs to be converted into electrical form. Hence, sensor can be defined as a device, which receives a signal and converts it int... Read >

Induction Furnace

A Furnace is a device used for heating. The term furnace is used exclusively to mean industrial furnaces which are used for many things, such as the extraction of metal from ore (smelting) or in oil refineries and other chemical plants, for example as the... Read >

Uses of Overhead Cranes

A Crane is a lifting machine, generally equipped with a winder (also called a wire rope drum), wire ropes or chains and sheaves that can be used both to lift and lower materials and to move them horizontally. It uses one or more simple machines to create ... Read >

Types of Heaters

A Heater is any object that emits heat or causes another body to achieve a higher temperature. In a household or domestic setting, heaters are usually appliances whose purpose is to generate heating (i.e. warmth). Ceramic elements are the heaters of c... Read >

Electric Motor

An Electric Motor uses electrical energy to produce mechanical energy, very typically through the interaction of magnetic fields and current-carrying conductors. The reverse process, producing electrical energy from mechanical energy, is accomplished by a... Read >

Different Types of Compression Springs

A spring is an elastic object used to store mechanical energy. Springs are usually made out of hardened steel. Small springs can be wound from pre-hardened stock, while larger ones are made from annealed steel and hardened after fabrication. Some non-ferr... Read >

Types of Circuit Breakers

Circuit Breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and, by interrupting continuity, to immediately dis... Read >

Autotransformer - Variable Voltage Transformer

A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through inductively coupled conductors—the transformer's coils. A varying current in the first or primary winding creates a varying magnetic flux in the transformer's c... Read >
