What is the advantage and disadvantage of reciprocating compressors?

The advantages of the reciprocating compressors is that it is easier to install and is very simple to install. The disadvantage of the reciprocating compressor is the high cost of maintaining it because of the many moving parts.


Why is Mechanical Advantage important?

Mechanical Advantage lets you use a small amount of force to lift a heavy weight. You can not pick up the corner of a car to change the tire. You can use a jack. Mechanical advantage lets you move your arm down several feet to move the jack up a fraction of an inch. By moving your arms many times, you can lift a heavy car. You can change your tire and not be stuck off in the woods, and have to walk several miles to get someone to help you. I think that is important.


What is the weakness of hydraulic-powered robot?

Hydraulic robots are more complex than electric drive robots, so they are generally heavier and more expensive. They also may have sticking friction issues that can result in uneven or halting motion in some very slow-moving applications where the weight or force of the payload is low. In many applications they are among the most powerful, well controlled manipulators. If they are used where hydraulic fluid power is already available so they needn't include a hydraulic power supply, the cost and complexity weaknesses don't apply.


What is conveyor belt?

Conveyors beltIt's a mechanical machine consisting of a continuous moving belt that transports materials from one place to another place.A conveyor belt consists primarily of two or more drums, with a continuous loop of material - the conveyor belt - that rotates about them.One or both of the drums (or pulleys) are powered by motoreducer, moving the belt and the material, the other drum are free to turn being dragged from the first.The powered drum is called "drive drum" while the unpowered pulley is called the idler (or tail drum).It can be divided into two main industrial classes of belt conveyors:- Those in general material handling such as those moving boxes along inside a factory generally in indoor locations.- Those used to transport industrial bulk material handling, such as clay, grain, coal, ores, rice, etc. in indoors or outdoor locations.Generally companies providing general material handling type belt conveyors do not provide the conveyors for bulk material handling.i just know the rubber belt,which use around the conveyor,and it is to save time and money to conveying goods in many factory,like steel factory,cement factory,and mines,you know i am working in a conveyor belt factory,and i know more about the conveyor belt.if you have anyquestion,aslo can emil to me.my email address is maoxiangrubber@foxmail.com.thankyou.i will reply to you .

Why is a grandfather clock called a grandfather clock?

In 1876 an American gentleman named Henry Clay Work was visiting England. He visited a place in Piercebridge, North Yorkshire called The George Inn which is just off the A67. While he was there he saw what is also known as a longcase, or tall case, clock standing in the hallway.The clock was not going and it was explained to Mr.Work that it had never worked since its owner, an old man, had died. Mr.Work was so taken up by this that when he returned home he wrote what is now the popular song,"MY GRANDFATHER'S CLOCK" and it is from that song that grandfather clocks got their name. The clock is still at the George Inn and is still not working. In the United States the term Grandfather clock has stuck and some try to differentiate sizes by using the terms Grandmother clock and Granddaughter clock. The sizes and terms are subjective.

How To Keep Your Grandfather Clocking At It’s Best With Regular Maintenance and Oiling?

Grandfather Clocks are always a special piece of furniture within a home. That is why they require special treatment when cleaning and oiling. These maintenance practices will keep your grandfather clock looking and operating at its best for many years to come. 1. The first thing that you will need to do before cleaning your grandfather clock is to gather the supplies and cleaners you will need to complete this project. This includes several soft lint free cloths or rags, a feather duster, furniture polish, a glass cleaner that does not contain ammonia and an oil kit. 2. You should dust your grandfather clock every week to keep it looking and working it’s best. Start by dusting the face and front of the clock and then open the panel to dust the inside using a gentle technique. 3. The glass of your grandfather cock should also be cleaned weekly using a glass cleaner that is free from ammonia and a soft cloth. Do not spray the cleaner directly onto the clock. Instead, spray your cloth an wipe down the glass. You will need to open the housing for the pendulum and clean this door first. You will then need to open the housing for the clock face if this option is available. Wipe down the inside completely. 4. Treat the wood of the grandfather clock the same as any other wood furniture You should wax and polish the wood once every two to three months using a furniture polish and soft cloth. Do not polish the clock face or get the furniture polish on the glass. 5. You should hire a professional to clean your grandfather clock every six to eight years. The professional will be able to clean and oil your clock using methods that you should not attempt without having extensive knowledge and training to perform. If anyone should clean the mechanisms of your grandfather clock who is not a professional, this will cause the warranty to become void and could lead to the clock getting ruined. 6. Using a special oil kit that can be purchased at clock stores, you can oil the inside of your clock once every two to four years. You will notice if your clock begins to get sluggish or starts losing time. This is a good indication that your clock needs to be oiled. 7. Take off the clock movement or dial to make it easier to reach the front plate. Place a small amount of oil on the intersection of the clock plate and gears. Be careful not to over oil. 8. Locate a small dip in the outside of the clock plate. This is called an oil sink. Fill this oil sink until it is half full of the clock oil. 9. You will need to start at the bottom gear of the clock and work up, completing five or six gear trains. There are some clocks that require as many as 35 areas that need to be oiled. 10. If you are unsure on whether or not you missed a spot, you consul the manufacturer’s guide that came with the clock when it was purchased.


Where can one purchase a Howard Miller grandfather clock?

A grandfather clock (also a longcase clock, tall-case clock, grandfather's clock, or floor clock) is a tall, freestanding, weight-driven pendulum clock with the pendulum held inside the tower or waist of the case. Clocks of this style are commonly 1.8–2.4 metres (6–8 feet) tall. The case often features elaborately carved ornamentation on the hood (or bonnet), which surrounds and frames the dial, or clock face. The English clockmaker William Clement is credited with the development of this form in 1670. Until the early 20th century, pendulum clocks were the world's most accurate timekeeping technology, and longcase clocks, due to their superior accuracy, served as time standards for households and businesses. Today they are kept mainly for their decorative and antique value, having been widely replaced by both analog and digital timekeeping.
