Rotary displacement pumps use rotation to move fluid and eliminate air from lines. Gear, screw, and moving vane pumps are the three main types, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Tight clearance is required for efficient operation. Rotary displacement pumps are pumps that move fluid using the principles of rotation. The vacuum created by […]
A rotary switch is a switch that is operated by twisting. It consists of a rotor and one or more decks, allowing for a wide range of settings. Analog switches were common until the mid-1970s, with push buttons, toggle switches, and dials being the three basic styles. Rotary switches were commonly found on telephones and […]
Rotary broaching is a metalworking technique that cuts shapes such as hexagons and squares both internally and externally. It can be done by hand or with specialized equipment, including CNC systems for mass production. Lubrication is required to reduce friction and prevent overheating. Soft metals are more appropriate for broaching, and outsourcing may be a […]
A rotary lathe is used to form thin-walled ductile metals into cylindrical or semi-cylindrical shapes. External tools are used to force the metal into shape, and the material must have high ductility. The lathe can be operated manually or with CNC, and heating may be necessary for some materials. A rotary lathe is a lathe […]
Rotary feeders are industrial machines used for adding bulk materials in a manufacturing process. They can be powered by internal combustion engines or electric motors and come in various types, including blow-through and rotary vane feeders. They are often made of durable metal materials and can handle a variety of materials, including individual metal parts. […]
Rotary valves use a rotating circular seal to change the path of liquids or gases, taking up less space than linear valves. They are used in plumbing, manufacturing, combustion engines, musical instruments, and the human body. Examples include ball valves, butterfly valves, and rotary feeders. Some combustion engines use a sophisticated type of rotary valve […]
A rotary vane pump uses vanes on a rotating disk to push liquids or gases, making it a displacement pump. It’s best for low viscosity materials and has good gas performance. Maintenance is simple, but abrasive materials can damage the vanes. It’s used in compressing hydraulic fluid, air pumps, beverage dispensers, medical pumps, and vacuum […]
Rotary blowers use centrifugal force to pump liquids, powders, and gases for industrial use. They have two or three rotating lobes that create compression, creating a vacuum effect. There are three types of blowers: Roots, rotary lobe, and positive rotary. They are used for different purposes, including increasing engine power, water treatment, and transporting powders […]
A rotary transformer is a type of variable frequency transformer that allows electrical signals from rotating components to connect without generating unwanted activity. Its unique design reduces wear and friction, promoting longer equipment life and lower repair costs. It is commonly used in recording equipment and motors that rely on AC power. A rotary transformer […]
The rotary beater, invented in the 19th century, is a hand-held kitchen tool used to mix and fluff ingredients. It has been largely replaced by electric alternatives but is still a useful and inexpensive tool. The original version had a crank and gear, while an improved version had two whips rotating in opposite directions. It […]
Pneumatic rotary actuators use compressed air to produce circular motion, available in various sizes for different applications. They are part of pneumatic systems that rely on compressed air, with low profile models offering up to 30 pounds of torque. Heavy-duty models offer more torque and can handle heavier loads. They can operate in temperatures between […]
Rotary tools are portable power tools that can be corded or cordless, with variable speed and interchangeable bits for tasks such as carving, cutting, grinding, polishing, and sanding. A flex shaft accessory can provide greater precision and prevent hand fatigue. Manufacturers offer product lines with varying rpm ranges and specialized variations for specific tasks. Power […]
Rotary engravers use a rotating cutter and move on three axes. They are controlled by a pantograph or computer software and are best for small items like name tags and jewelry. They work well with plastics and soft metals, but can also be used on other materials. They are smaller than laser engravers and are […]
Rotary drilling uses a large drill on the end of a hollow pipe to drill deep into the earth. Fluid is pumped through the tube to cool and lubricate the drill bit and bring cut stone and earth to the surface. The type of drilling fluid used depends on the type of well being drilled. […]
Rotary International is a service club organization founded in 1905 with over 32,000 clubs in 200+ countries. Members are business and professional leaders who serve their communities and uphold the “Service Above Self” motto. Membership is open to all and includes a commitment to ethical behavior. Rotary clubs meet weekly and participate in local and […]
Rotating accounts, such as credit cards and some bank accounts, allow for continuous borrowing and payments without closing the account. They can lead to debt and financial strain, but can also provide economic benefits. American Express initially did not offer revolving accounts. A rotary account is the one where a deuda or credit is not […]
