A hydropower facility, also known as a hydroelectric dam, is different from a conventional dam. To begin with, it's built over a river and converts the energy of flowing water into electricity. There’re 3 kinds of hydropower facilities : impoundment, diversion, and pumped storage. Impoundment: An impoundment hydropower facility is the most common type of hydroelectric power plant. The water flowing through the dam is released through turbines in the powerhouse, spinning them and generating electricity. Diversion: A diversion facility (diversion hydropower facility) is a hydropower plant that does not typically require the construction of a dam but redirects the flow of water for electricity generation. Diversion facilities may reduce water flow at times depending on how water is diverted and/or the size of the stream or river segment being used.   Pumped Storage: While hydroelectric dams have been around since the early 1900s, there's another type of hydropower, called pu

CNC machining  is an adaptable and affordable manufacturing process. The compatibility of this process is with a wide range of materials. We notice the use of CNC machines in an assorted selection of industries. Most recently reputed bearing manufacturing and re manufacturing facilities in North America are using this methodology. It is not that the benefits of using CNC machines are advantageous only for the manufacturers but also for their customers. Let us have a look at the advantages of using  CNC machining  to manufacture and re-manufacture of bearings. If we compare the use of conventional machining methods with CNC machines, we notice there are varied advantages of using CNC machines. To name a few, it helps to reduce possible errors as it uses a high level of automation, enhances productivity and is affordable. Let us see in detail these and other advantages of using  CNC machining in the field of manufacturing and re manufacturing bearings. Productivity As the manufactur

Do you know what is common between Boeing, John Deere, General Motors and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration? Apart from being leaders in their field, they all utilize self-lubricating  plain bearing . The effectiveness of such bearings can be understood by the fact that NASA has used them in the drill spindle of the Curiosity rover. Even the harsh climate of Mars has not been able to lower its efficiency and Curiosity is exploring the Red Planet since 2012. When there is a failure or you need to replace traditional bearings, it is the ideal time to think about installing self-lubricating  plain bearing  manufactured by a reputed manufacturer and repairer in North America who solely focuses on the production of bearing. Few reasons to use plain bearings Reading up to this you may be wondering why it is that reputed industrial leaders are using plain bearings and why you also need to use such. Let us see why it is so. Reduce downtime You can reduce your maintenance d
