    snow/ice removal for engine venting system

    Hi, We're modifying a snowmobile engine compartment to allow outside air flow to circulate around the engine. We are planning on opening up vents just above the track (behind the engine), since the motion of the track itself will drive significant airflows through the vents. Only problem, we...

    copper corrosion protection

    The copper shims are to be placed between MDR connectors and an alodined aluminum back plate inside a camera. EMI shielding is a requirement, so we are trying to prevent any loss of conductivity in the copper. As far as I'm aware, the camera is to be used in normal ambient indoor conditions.

    copper corrosion protection

    Hi, I am fairly familiar with the use of anodizing/alodining aluminum surfaces to prevent corrosion, but are there similar processes for copper? I have 110-alloy electrical grade copper shims which I would like to treat, and the coating should be RoHS-compliant. Thanks in advance.

    Corrosion of aluminum-steel interface

    Hi, I'm helping to design a small liquid-cooling block which will have steel inlet and outlet pipes. For thermal considerations, we are hoping to build the block itself out of aluminum. The cooling fluid will be water (likely deionized/distilled, although I am not sure at this point). The...

    gearmotor max torque

    We're using a 15-hp gearmotor (3-phase, 1730 rpm, 460 V, ratio = 165) on an auto-depalletizer machine. I need to find out the maximum torque produced by this motor at startup, in order to calculate the maximum shear loading on a lock pin. I've looked for start-up torque equations and tables...
