Whether adhesive, lubricant, grease, silicone, polyester, or epoxy resin – applying media accurately and precisely inside an interior geometry is a technically demanding task. To enable industrial manufacturers to achieve precisely this with maximum efficiency and precision in cavities, internal threads, or shaft-hub connections, for example, preeflow has added the eco-SPIN to its portfolio.

EBARA Corporationhas been selected as the contracting party and signed a prototype pump contract for the “FY2025 Stardust Program R&D of High-Efficiency Heat Dissipation System for Digital Signal Processing – Prototype of Performance Verification Pump for Two-Phase Flow Heat Dissipation System (Part A) (hereinafter: this matter),” which was announced by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (hereinafter: JAXA) through a competitive bidding process.

Vibration in rotating machinery is a leading cause of premature failure, costly downtime, and safety hazards. For operators of vertical motors, one of the most important vibration-related concepts to understand is reed critical frequency (RCF). This natural frequency of a motor system plays a central role in determining whether a motor will operate smoothly or succumb to damaging resonance conditions.

Water is a vital, indispensable resource—for us humans, of course, but also for the economy. The management and protection of water resources, ecosystems, and drinking water is one of the cornerstones of environmental protection and is becoming increasingly important. The market for water treatment solutions is therefore growing rapidly, but at the same time is extremely fragmented, as there are so many different suppliers.
