Custom vulcanized O-Rings are often the fastest and most cost effective solution for static sealing applications requiring a non-standard diameter O-Ring. Vulcanized rings are produced from extruded elastomeric cord, cut to length and hot spliced using heated dies and heat sensitive bonding agents. The heated die provides consistent heat to help form a clean and visually appealing finish to the joint. Cold splicing is typically used on foam elastomers where heat would damage the material.

Over and over again, the main reasons cited as the causes of bearing failures are lubrication-related issues. In fact, one major ball-bearing manufacturer completed a study claiming 54% of all bearings failed due to lubrication issues, while another one said this percentage was closer to 80%. This white paper explains how much it actually costs to lubricate a ball bearing and the cost saving benefits of switching to a self-lubricating plastic bearing.

Pneumatic guided drives and slides are gaining wide acceptance in automated production as a better choice than standard cylinders in applications that benefit from their superior stability and precision. Guided drives and slides secure the piston rod against torque loads and lateral forces, for optimal performance and greater longevity. This whitepaper from Festo explains when and why guided actuators should be the preferred choice in machine and system design from a performance and value perspective.
