BIBUS in practice: the 'Extremely Large Telescope'
There are few field applications that underline the diversity of the BIBUS range as well as the world's largest telescope. In Northern Chile, the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is being built at an altitude of more than 3 kilometers by VDL ETG Projects and the European Southern Observatory, among others. This article explains our role in building the ELT.
Tapered shaft hubs now also in stainless steel!
Due to the cylindrical design, these sets are able to realize a high power transmission with extreme precision that is absolutely centered. This allows 'all' shaft-hub connections can be realized easily and at low cost. We have the tapered shaft hubs sets with and without hexagon bolt in our range and now also available in stainless steel in addition to steel.
Actuators are gaining popularity when it comes to solutions for height / position adjustment. Which is not unexpected, because this method offers many advantages over other, traditional methods. But how exactly does an actuator work? This article explains the operation of an electric actuator.
Threaded Lifting Pin self-locking INCH
In addition to metric, we now also have the self-locking threaded lifting pin in INCH version! H11 bores are no longer required for operation. This makes it possible to work faster with these self-locking threaded lifting pins. The threaded lifting pins are clicked in and out, they no longer need to be removed. The metric and INCH self-locking threaded lifting pins are available in steel and stainless steel.
