Cylinder heads and their parts are items that function together to form a structurally reliable unit fit for fuel combustion and heat applications. Commonly constructed with a head gasket, intake & exhaust ports, cylinder head valves, combustion chambers, fuel injectors, camshafts, spark plugs, and various smaller components, cylinder head assemblies are what gives an engine life. Within this blog, we will go into detail about the major parts within a cylinder head and how they are constructed to power internal combustion engines. Read more >>

A centrifugal pump is a common component of fluid transportation applications, and such devices move fluids through the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to hydrodynamic energy. With the use of an engine or electrical motor, the rotational energy needed for the pump’s operations can be supplied for accelerating fluids so that they flow radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber. While centrifugal pump parts commonly serve many pumping applications due to their high flow rate capabilities, their performance can be negatively affected by axial thrust. Read more >>

The brake system is the primary safety feature of any automobile. As such, it is crucial that you pay attention to its performance to ensure you can rely on your brakes to function properly. To give you a better understanding of your car’s braking system, this blog will cover its main components and their role within the system. Read more >>

A generator is a rotating electrical unit used to create power. Depending on its design, a generator can produce direct current (DC), alternating current (AC), or both. Their versatility and power make them a crucial part of many advanced systems, such as modern robotics. To carry out its function, there are many components that make up a generator. In this blog, we will discuss the most important parts of a generator. Read more >>

Bleed air, the compressed air that originates from the compressor section of a turbine or auxiliary power unit, is a critical component of jet engine functionality. Gas turbine engineers use bleed air in many different ways throughout an aircraft to improve its efficiency. In fact, the successful distribution of bleed air is vital to the operation of an aircraft. To do this, air bleed valves have a critical role. Because bleed air valves have to be reliable even at extreme temperatures and in dry conditions, they are primarily made from carbon graphite. This material is a popular choice due to its ability to lubricate rubbing components. Read more >>
