When it comes to shaping and machining steel, precision is everything. A drill bit labeled “5mm” must always measure 5mm, no matter who manufactured it. This is where DIN standards (Deutsches Institut für Normung) come into play. Established in Germany, DIN ensures that tools and components are consistent, reliable, and interchangeable.
Many rotating shafts in mining and industrial equipment run on journal bearings also known as plain bearings. Unlike ball bearings, which use rolling elements, journal bearings rely on sliding contact between the shaft and bearing surface.They are strong, simple, and cost-effective, but they face two constant challenges: friction and wear.
Understanding crane load conditions is essential in designing safe and reliable lifting systems — especially in demanding fields like mining, construction, and logistics. These classifications (H, HZ, and HS) define the environmental and operational stresses a crane is expected to handle. Selecting the correct condition is key to ensuring structural integrity and operational longevity.
At Steltech, our commitment to quality and safety is unparalleled. In the world of engineering and construction, ensuring that materials are robust and fit for purpose is paramount. One of the key methods to assure material quality and structural integrity is through Nondestructive Testing (NDT). Today, we’re delving deep into one of the most fundamental NDT methods: Visual Inspection.
