Some of the advantages of a good lighting system are the following: - Equipping our machinery with the most suitable lighting systems will allow us to gain...

TECHNICAL TIPS – COOLING SYSTEMS

myp
Cooling system is in charge of reducing the temperature of the engine and other systems such as the braking or hydraulic system, it is also responsible for maintaining the engine at an adequate working temperature, for this purpose coolant is used. Air was used in older engines, but these engines are no longer very common...

TECHNICAL TIPS – BEARINGS

myp
A bearing is a mechanical component whose function is to guide a rotating assembly. Allows the rotation of one element with respect to another. Bearings are therefore high-precision components that allow equipment to move at different speed levels by efficiently transmitting significant loads. They must offer high precision and durability, as well as the possibility...

TECHNICAL TIPS – HYDRAULIC PUMPS

myp
A hydraulic pump is an element capable of transforming mechanical or electrical energy into hydraulic energy and, in turn, into movement of implements, the flow generated by the pump and the pressure of the system will determine the speed and power of these. The hydraulic pumps could be; Fixed flow: the flow rate only varies...

Bucket tooth system

myp
The bucket tooth system is exposed to extreme stresses when it encounters a combination of hard materials, shock and high breakout forces. In such environment it is impossible to eliminate wear, but it is possible to reduce the effect it has on the tooth system of the machine. Our big challenge is to design a...
