Accurately calculating conveyor belt tension is crucial for proper system operation. Information about the environment, load rate, pulley diameter, belt speed, and more is needed to calculate TC, TL, TH, TE, and TS. TO can be calculated using TE and TS, and may need to be re-tensioned over time. Getting the conveyor belt tension right […]
Tension bars are solid or tubular bars with spring mechanisms used for various purposes, including window treatments, chain link fences, and exercise equipment. They can be relatively inexpensive or expensive and are designed to give years of service. Tension bars are solid or tubular bars that usually have some type of spring mechanism. Bars of […]
Chronic back pain without a physical cause may be due to tension myositis syndrome (TMS), caused by mental stress. TMS is difficult to treat using traditional methods, but treatments that embrace the mind-body connection have been successful. TMS is diagnosed when a specific cause of pain cannot be identified. Unconscious stress is often the cause […]
Normal tension glaucoma is a type of glaucoma that causes damage to the optic nerve even when the pressure within the eye is normal. The causes are unknown, but theories suggest decreased blood flow or weaknesses in the optic nerve. Risk factors include family history, cardiovascular disease, and Japanese descent. Treatment involves keeping intraocular pressure […]
Tension pneumothorax is a medical emergency caused by air trapped in the chest cavity, leading to lung collapse and cardiac complications. Treatment involves oxygen therapy and needle decompression, followed by hospitalization for further evaluation and care. Direct trauma, respiratory diseases, and premature birth are common causes. Tension pneumothorax is the medical term for a collection […]
Tensioner pulleys reduce tension on belts or chains in pulley systems. They engage when the belt is in place and work based on the amount of tension applied. Examples include the serpentine belt system in cars and the gear mechanism in bicycles. A tensioner pulley can be considered one of the more complex forms of […]
Tension headaches are common and caused by muscle tension around the head. Chronic headaches require medical attention, while episodic headaches can be treated with pain relievers and lifestyle changes such as reducing stress and avoiding trigger foods. Biofeedback therapy may also help. Tension headaches are the most common type of headache, and many people will […]
Muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) affects vocal ability due to improper muscle function in the throat and vocal cords. Stress and strain cause hoarseness, pain, and fatigue. Medical help, rest, medication, and speech therapy can help recover normal voice tone and eliminate pain. Muscle tension dysphonia (MTD) is a health problem that affects an individual’s ability […]
Sexual tension is a common plot device in fiction and real life, causing awkward conversations and physical sensations. It can also lead to hostility or great relationships. In fiction, it builds slowly before being resolved, while in episodic television, it can create new directions for the series. Sexual tension is a situation that can arise […]
Surface tension is the cohesive force of liquid molecules that allows resistance to external forces. It arises from attraction between molecules, causing a net force of zero within the liquid. Surface tension creates water droplets and bubbles, and is harnessed by some animals. It is measured in dyne per centimeter, which is the force required […]
Tension force is important in construction and engineering. It causes an object to stretch or move through pulling. Materials must be selected carefully to avoid excessive stress and failure. An understanding of strength and how it affects an object or material is important in construction of any kind. The three main types of mechanical forces […]
Muscle tension is often caused by stress and a sedentary lifestyle, but can be relieved through relaxation techniques, exercise such as yoga and massage therapy, and meditation with guided recordings. The causes of muscle tension are numerous, but the most common causes are stress and a sedentary lifestyle. For this reason, most of the techniques […]
