High performance QSFP-DD optical modules must use thermal interface
materials to help dissipate heat efficiently and effectively to
ensure the optimum operating performance, reliability...
We receive many requests regarding seal retention but why is
it so important? There are 3 main reasons: ease of component
assembly, serviceability, and transit issues. For example, seal
retention is...
Challenges abound for oil and gas companies during drilling and
well completion operations. Drilling mud and frac fluids are some
of the harshest and most destructive media to be sealed. It...
If I had to estimate the number of times someone asked for a seal
meeting AMS7287, the answer is very few. On the other hand,
the number of times someone has asked for a seal material...
Parker Chomerics has recently released THERM-A-GAP™ GEL 75, a 7.5
W/m-K thermal conductivity, single-component, dispensable
thermal interface material. THERM-A-GAP GEL 75 is the
latest from the...
In the Oil & Gas industry, the need for elastomers to seal
higher pressures for sustained periods of time with minimal damage
is abounding. Applications such as drilling tools, completions
equipment,...
Robotic surgery systems or robot-assisted surgery, offer
immense patient benefits -- from shorter recovery time to better
surgeon visualization, which leads to a more precise, effective,
and...
Have you been frustrated with going through multiple design
iterations when rubber components are failing due to high stresses
or your device has been leaking due to insufficient compression?
Have you...
In our recent webinar about electrically conductive sealants and
adhesives, our experts covered many topics from electrically
conductive filler packages to the physical properties of the
materials...
Improvements to a drug delivery system (DDS) can control the
consistency and increase the quality of drug delivery. Parker’s
self-sealing polyisoprene is designed to improve on existing
systems...
Mitigating the contamination risk in biopharmaceutical
manufacturing is essential for two reasons: Obviously, product
safety for patients is of paramount importance, but manufacturers
must also be...
When designing a gland in which an O-ring or elastomeric seal is
the desired sealing component, there are several aspects that need
to be considered. A perfectly designed seal with the right
material,...
If the words “Fire Seal” bring to your imagination a Sea World show
gone terribly wrong, then you probably won’t be interested in this
blog. But, for anyone associated with the field of aviation,...
Thermal interface materials are used to eliminate air gaps or voids
from adjoining rough or un-even mating surfaces. Because the
thermal interface material has a greater thermal conductivity than
the...
In 1933, Kenworth Motor Truck Co. became the first American truck
manufacturer to introduce the Cummins 4 cylinder, 100 hp, HA4 model
diesel engine as standard equipment. By 1938 the first...
Clean energy consultancy Gladstein, Neandross and Associates, in
its recent report on sustainable fleets¹, predicts another decade
of diesel-powered heavy trucks leading long-haul. Diesel...
As the automotive industry moves toward more automated, connected
vehicles, engineers are challenged to identify technologies that
can process and transfer large volumes of data in real-time...
The popularity of electric and zero-emissions vehicles is growing
substantially, although their share of the overall automobile
market remains relatively small. Automobile manufacturers are
spending...
Fluids play a critical role in sustaining life. Keeping animals and
humans hydrated and helping plants grow are obvious ways. Less
obvious ways include moving cargo around the world and...
Honeycomb air vent panels are used to help cool electronics with
airflow and while maintaining electromagnetic interference (EM)
shielding. Recently, our team of experts held a webinar on...
