Simple Sealing Solution For Pump Shafts In this issue, we will focus on a much simpler way of sealing a rotating shaft of a pump. It's by using gland packing. This method of sealing has been in use for a very long time, and is still being used today.There are advantages and disadvantages in using them.Perhaps the first and foremost reason for replacing them with mechanical seals is because of the fact that gland packing needs a small......

Why Select Two Strokes? In our previous publication, we touched on the subjectof 2-stroke diesel engines. http://www.free-engineering.com/fwezine26.htm .Today, we ask why we choose to use 2-strokes? As you might remember, for a 2-stroke engine, the piston has to move up, and then down to complete one cycle of the engine. In those 2 strokes of the piston, the crankshaft will have turned 1 revolution. In those 2 strokes of......

What Do You Mean By Four Stroke? What is a 4-stroke diesel engine?As the name suggests, these engines work on reciprocating actions of pistons. One stroke means one linear motion of the piston in one direction. When the piston moves in the opposite direction, that is counted as another stroke.For a 4-stroke engine, the piston has to move up, then down, then up again, and then down again to complete one cycle of the engine. In...... Similar Editorial : Your Golf Stroke by Aidan J Sugrue. | Source : Car Loan Finance Calculator
How Often Do You Change Oil? In our previous issue, we discuss about the properties of lubricating oil and what to look for when buying or replacing them. http://www.free-engineering.com/fwezine33.htmToday, we want to find out as to when to replace the lubricating oil. If you have a large quantity of lubricating oil to change, it is going to burn a hole in your pocket. So most plant operators try to preserve the properties of......

Additives That Improve Lubrication Oils Mechanical machines need lubrication. No machines can run for long without lubrication of its moving parts. At best, the moving parts may wear out faster. At worst, entire machines can seize up and develop cracks. In severe conditions, the heat built up can even cause explosions and loss of lives.So lubrication is no small matter in machine operation.Lubrication oil can last for a very long time......

Lubrication - The Silent Component Of Machinery The function of a lubrication medium is:1. To form a film between moving bearing components so that metal to metal contact is prevented.2. To reduce friction and eliminate wear3. To protect against corrosion4. To seal against impurities like dust, dirt, water.In order for the oil film to be formed between the moving bearing components, the film must be sufficiently thick even under heavy load,......

Inside Knowledge About Diesel Engines One of the most reliable internal combustion engines around is the diesel engine. In many industrial installations, diesel engines are used as prime movers for the generation of electricity and for emergency air compressors.It's true that they are rugged, but one of the most important advantages of these engines is the fact that they can be started by manual cranking. In remote areas, diesel...... Similar Editorial : How Diesel Engines Work by zee001. | Source : Citi Auto Finance
