Diaphragm Pumps Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications
Mechanical - These pumps are operated using a simple and robust reciprocating mechanical linkage directly attached to the diaphragm. This is typically a crank or gear mechanism which converts motor rotation into reciprocating motion of the linkage (spring, piston, plunger) attached to the diaphragm.
Linear Actuators Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications ...
Linear actuators are mechanical devices used to move items through a system. The device uses energy to develop force and motion in a linear manner, as opposed to a rotational motion in an electric motor. Linear actuators offer advantages including a simple design with minimal moving parts. They are ...

Other Common Types : Flat washers, also referred to as Type A plain washers, are thin, flat, and circular general-purpose washers with a centrally located hole. Standardized flat washers may be designed by the use of imperial or metric dimensions. Standard imperial washers include SAE washers, for use with fine threaded nuts and bolts, and USS flat washers, for use with coarse threaded bolts ...
Impellers Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications - GlobalSpec
Impellers (also spelled impellors or impellars) are rotating devices designed to alter the flow and/or pressure of liquids, gases, and vapors.Impellers consist of various vanes — often blade-shaped — arranged around a short central shaft. When the shaft and vanes rotate, they suck in fluids or gases and impel them out the other side.

ANSI Roller Chain Sprockets Information - GlobalSpec
Fabricated cuts: Fabricated, cut sprockets are flame cut and have flame or induction hardened components.. Flanged: With a short extension on the sprocket rim, the chain's plates rest on the sprocket as well, allocating some load from the chain's pins.These are sometimes called "chain-saver sprockets" because of the enhanced chain lifespan. Sprocket Tooth Style
