Axial lead is a connection configuration used on many electrical and electronic parts designed for board or carrier mounting. The leads are typically long enough to allow for easy installation into most PCB layouts. Axial lead configurations are found on a wide variety of components, including carbon resistors, electrolytic capacitors, fuses, and LEDs. The conductors […]
Axial flow pumps are centrifugal pumps that push fluids through pipes using rotating impellers. They are used in low head systems that require high flow rates. The pitch of the impeller blades can be adjusted to change pressure and flow. Axial flow pumps can be used in areas where flow tends to slow down and […]
Axial fans are common bladed fans with three to five curved blades that draw air behind them and push it forward. They are low cost and commonly used for cooling electronics. Angled blades allow for direct air movement, while other types of fans use straight blades. Axial fans are found in many households and electronics. […]
An axial piston pump uses a swashplate to move multiple pistons up and down, and can be used as a pump or part of other assemblies. The swashplate rotates to force the pistons to move in and out of the cylinder block. All parts must be precisely measured for proper function, and the pumps can […]
Axial forces act on the central axis of an object, either stretching or compressing it. The geometric center is the point where the object’s mass is the same in any opposite direction. The central axis may or may not pass through the geometric center. When the force load is uniform across the geometric center, it […]
Celestial objects like Earth move through revolution and rotation. Axial tilt, currently at 23.5 degrees, affects the planet’s condition. Seasons change due to the distribution of light and the varying ratio of day to night. The cause of axial tilt is unknown, but theories include a collision with a celestial body and chaotic dust distribution […]
An axial load is a force parallel to an object’s axis, typically a shaft or rod. Rotating objects have different types of loads: axial, radial, or combined. Unbalanced loads cause wear and unpredictable accidents. An axial load describes a load that creates a force parallel to the axis of an object. When an object rotates […]
