Simon Ward, technical manager at TFC explains why e-bike manufacturers are turning to components manufactured by edgewinding to solve e-bike design challenges.

Gilmour Space Technologies, one of Australia’s pioneer New Space companies and the leading launch services provider of Eris launch vehicles and GSat satellite platforms, has adopted the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software to help accelerate its design and manufacturing processes across its facilities in Queensland, Australia.

To address the growing consumer wearable electronics market, adhesives supplier Intertronics has introduced the Dymax 9200-W Series of next generation light curable encapsulants and structural and optical-positioning adhesives.

RS Group has announced a further expansion in the capability of DesignSpark with its new ‘Product Design Centre’. The design centre includes a rich pool of technical information on more than one billion electronic component part numbers, enabling DesignSpark members to make more informed decisions about the products they use in their designs.

A new study at the University of Bath is investigating how rapidly deploying spoiler-like devices, called mini-tabs, could help future eVTOL designs fly faster. Mini-tabs could aerodynamically counteract the damaging vibrations caused by whirl flutter – a catastrophic instability that occurs at high flight speeds. Maxon has provided the motion solution to test the effectiveness of mini-tabs on a novel wind tunnel test rig.

At the world’s biggest bike expo, Eurobike 2023, Igus will showcase recyclable and partly-recycled components for bicycle manufacturers, including handlebars that are about to go into production. Bicycle manufacturer Advanced is the handlebar’s first customer.

RS has launched a new circuit simulator tool for use by the 1.3 million members of the DesignSpark engineering community. The announcement coincides with the 13th anniversary of DesignSpark, which was initially launched on 5 July, 2010.

Portescap engineer, Manoj Pujari, discusses the importance of thermal parameters for DC motor selection.

When selecting a grade of stainless steel for your circlip or wave spring, it is most important to assess the needs and the environment the part will be subjected to. The experts at Rotor Clip look at some factors to consider.

When using mobile medical equipment, making patient care supplies available when needed while protecting them against unauthorised access is a challenge, as the experts at Southco explain.
