Case Studies

Liquid chromatography equipment is an analytical tool used to separate, identify and quantify components in a liquid mixture for purity and content. The equipment utilizes reciprocating pumps to pass pressurized liquid solvents with sample mixtures through a column filled with a solid absorbent material. Positive displacement pumps use Omniseal^® spring-energized seals to optimize performance and equipment longevity.

A natural gas turbine is a type of internal combustion (IC) engine, converting the heat produced by natural gases into mechanical energy. This energy is then supplied to power generators that produce electricity for residential and industrial use. Gas turbines are used to power aircraft, trains, ships, electrical generators, pumps, gas compressors, and tanks.

Powered, microsurgical devices is a trend that began in the early 2010s with developments in minimally invasive surgery providing the benefits of smaller incisions and more versatile solutions for surgeons, including better patient recovery times. Since then, the industry has seen a rise in miniature motors in surgical tools, pumps and ventilation equipment. Since these tools must be precise, reliable and withstand over a thousand autoclave cycles, the micromotors operating the tools are placed under challenging and strenuous demands.

A critical part of a satellite is its structural subsystem, which is designed to survive launch loads and protect the operation of other subsystems. Structures are often classified into primary and secondary components, the latter includes struts and brackets that are used in different configurations as needed. Several satellite elements in static or relative movement are linked together by structural bracket connectors that are fixed securely to the satellite body.

Launch vehicles are most often propelled using fluids with liquid oxygen being the most common oxidizer and fuel being liquid hydrogen or kerosene and most recently liquid methane. All these fluids (except kerosene) are commonly stored at cryogenic temperatures. Sealing is critical when liquid oxygen or hydrogen are involved since they are easily ignitable.

The global demand for rotary scroll compressor is expected to cross $14 Billion by 2026. In the past 10 years, they have become a major player in compressed air, previously dominated by reciprocating screw compressors. The compressors are used in variety of applications including chemical, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, laboratory, and medical, and provides benefits such as improved efficiency, fewer moving parts, smooth and quiet operation, and a smaller and cleaner work space.
