There are over 5.6 million commercial buildings in the U.S., comprising 87 billion square feet of floor space. Air moving, heating, and cooling systems account for the largest amount of electricity ...

REDUCING WEAR Sensors on Martin Engineering’s tensioning system detect if a conveyor belt is conveying material, automatically relieving tension to reduce wear when it is not loaded The new automatic ...

Belts on a 3D printer should be tight enough, but not too tight. That can be an iffy thing to get right for someone who lacks familiarity with CNC platforms. Prusa Research aims to make it a bit ...

Layer shift caused by the belt being way too loose. 3D printer belt tension seems like a simple thing to deal with — you set the tension and then check it’s good now and then. If it gets really loose, ...

People sometimes ask if there are wear differences due to the raw edge design of the notched V-belt vs. the fabric all over design of the classical wrapped V-belt. The fact is many factors can ...
