Proper coupling selection: what you’re probably missingDesign World
Selecting the couplings for your motion system doesn’t exactly stretch the limits of your engineering degree. Which is exactly why we don’t dig deeper to see if we’re making the best choice. In this webinar, three coupling industry experts help you avoid making the mistakes involved with commonly overlooked details. Here, you’ll learn how to separate a good choice, from the perfect one.
Watch the webinar: http://www.designworldonline.com/proper-coupling-selection-youre-probably-missing/
PCB manufacture is a progressive process adding value at each step. At the end of the line the maximum value has been assembled leaving only the depaneling or singulation process to take place. This mechanical separation is often under estimated and dealt with in the simplest possible manner giving inadequate attention to stress. Often this results in damage to PCBs and a significant loss of value. This Presentation outlines the basics on how to best protect the investment in the assembled PCBs by using the right level of cutting and handling technology.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Questions andAnswers
3. Laser Shaft Alignment Impact on Asset Uptime
5
Why precision alignment?
• Reduce your energy consumption
• Fewer failures of seals, couplings and bearings
• Lower temperatures of bearings and coupling
• Lower vibration levels – that result in fewer mechanical faults
• No shaft cracking or failures
• No lose foundation bolts
1. Heat from misalignment
2. Alignment within tolerance
1.The flexible coupling heats up and the machine develops
higher temperatures, especially at the bearings.
2.The high reaction forces are drastically reduced after
precision alignment and so are the faults that lead to asset
failure and production losses.

6. Shaft Alignment ?
“Process of aligning the shafts of two or more pieces of rotating equipment, typically a
motor and a pump, that are connected for the purpose of transmitting power from one
to the other” when the machine is running under normal operating conditions
7. Misalignment in Machines
Vertical angularity Vertical offset
Horizontal angularity Horizontal offset
• Alignment condition is always a combination of angularity and offset
• Machine has to be corrected in both vertical and horizontal planes
• 4 values are required to fully describe the alignment condition:
1. Vertical angularity
2. Vertical offset
3. Horizontal angularity
4. Horizontal offset
8. Tolerance in Flexible Coupling
An often quoted comment is “...why bother to align the machine when it is fitted with a flexible coupling
designed to take misalignment?”
It is true that flexible couplings are designed to take misalignment, typically up to 1-2 mm or more radial
offset of the shafts. But the load imposed on shafts, and thus the bearings and seals increase
dramatically due to the reaction forces created within the coupling when misaligned.
Rigid Coupling
Flexible Coupling
9. Misalignment Symptoms
• Excessive radial and axial vibration.
• High casing temperatures at or near the bearings or high discharge oil temperatures.
• Excessive amount of oil leakage at the bearing seals.
• Loose foundation bolts, shim packs or dowel pins.
• Loose or broken coupling bolts.
• Some flexible coupling designs run hot under misalignment conditions. If it is an elastomeric
type, look for rubber powder inside the coupling shroud.
• Similar pieces of equipment are vibrating less or seem to have a longer operating life.
• Unusually high number of coupling failures or they wear quickly.
• The shafts are breaking (or cracking) at/or close to the inboard bearings or coupling hubs.
• Excessive amounts of grease (or oil) on the inside of the coupling guard.

Notes:
• Always turn shafts in
normal rotation direction of
machine
• Don’t touch mounted
components
22. Step – 3 | Diagnose Faults
Alignment results with misalignment
condition in both vertical and
horizontal
• Red Marked values indicates misalignment
• Green Marked values are in acceptable range
23. Make Vertical / Horizontal Correction
Once alignment condition is found, a correction is recommended:
• Loosen bolts and shim first for vertical correction
• Jack up machine and insert or remove shims of known thicknesses
• Use vertical foot correction values to shim BOTH front and back feet
• Negative feet correction values indicate feet are high and remove shims
• Positive foot correction values suggest addition of shims
• Use Jack bolts for horizontal Alignment
• Retighten bolts and Re-measure
Shim for “Vertical”
Jack for “Horizontal”
24. Check Soft foot before Misalignment
Any cause that results in machine frame distortion when machine is anchored to its foundation
is a soft foot. Some of the principal causes are:
• Non-coplanar machine mounting surfaces
• Deformed machine frame or feet
• External forces from connecting piping or brackets
• Improper shimming or soiled machine feet
• Too many shims under a machine foot (maximum of 5 shims)
Forcibly tightening down feet deforms machine frame, causes bent shaft and distorts bearings.
Soft foot should be checked before aligning the shafts.
• Calculate how much each foot has moved as bolt is loosened.
• Results are interpreted and translated into shim thicknesses to be placed under the feet.
25. Bearing In Bad Condition
• Retighten each motor
anchor bolt and
measure another foot.
• Repeat procedure for
each foot.
• Color-coded tolerance
bar shows value of the
measured soft foot.
• Shimming corrections
are necessary
Soft Foot tolerance = 0.06 mm (0.002 inch)
