Depending on the device where they will be used, different types of locks will be required. In the following article we tell you about the different types in existence and how to choose the most suitable. Types of security locks When choosing the right security lock, the most important thing is to identify the specific need of the device or location where it will be ...

Arduino is a programming language and an open-source board; which is to say, a free software and hardware, with no copyrights of any kind. It has infinite applications, and its limit is people’s imagination. While up till now a more educational model was in use for prototyping or Do-It-Yourself, there is currently an increasing trend of using it in consumer products due...

A linear actuator is a device that turns the rotary motion of a direct current, low-voltage motor into a linear motion. Its output motion is in line with the output shaft itself. This makes it possible to elevate, adjust, tilt, push or pull heavy or hard-to-reach items with just the push of a button. As for rotary actuators, they are those whose output motion is circula...

Robotics, considered to be one of the drivers of the so-called fourth industrial revolution, is starting to find no limitations in regards to the variety of applications. Electrical actuators or gear motors are key when controlling positions and speeds demanded by several mechanisms and actuations for each robot. Click on the button placed below to know more about roboti...

The constant evolution of technology applied to the automotive industry opens up multiple windows to showcase what their companies manufacture to the world. In this area we can make a special mention of their industry fairs. Click on the button placed below if you want to know the top 5 atuomotive components and accessories fairs.

It is difficult for a speed reducer to operate under ideal conditions. This is basically due to the external factors acting on it. The service factor help us offering a more realistic power factor. Analysing this factor will enable us to know the degree of safety speed reducers operate with, and it mostly depends on the daily operation time and all the factors that mea...

Worm screws are used, mainly, to transfer force and motion between two perpendicular shafts 90° from each other; so this turns a radial motion on the x axis to a radial motion on the y axis. Discover which are the 6 main applications of these popular mechanical components in our blog. Let's click on the link below:

It is common to argue in electromechanical engineering projects about what is more important for a motor: to deliver a high torque, or for it to yield a high maximum power. In fact, these concepts, for most professionals or purchase managers, are not clear. In a complete post of our blog we answer this question. Just click on the link below.

For accuracy and reliability, many automatic transmissions currently use planetary gear motors. This type of reducers offers great versatility and can be used in a wide range of applications. Due to its cylindrical shape is an easily adaptable solution that can be used in infinite number of spaces, always ensuring a large reduction in a contained space. Normally, t...

Spur gears or helical gears? Gears are an important component of motor and actuators; they increase the output torque and control the direction of rotation or the speed. CLR has a big extensive experience in the manufacturing of all kind of plastic and metal gears in many shapes and sizes: globoid gears, spur gears, helicoid gears, planetary gears; with pinion, bolt, ...
