Core plugs: bonded or threaded, it’s the seal that counts
WEBWhen an engine block or cylinder head is cast, the process involves the use of sand to form the internal coolant passages and lubricant channels, and this sand is subsequently removed via external holes or 'cores' in the casting. Clearly, these have to be capped to seal the internal cavities and achieve a totally leak-free structure - hence the 'core plug'. The problem arises: how to secure ...
'DLR': raising functionality while lowering cost and complexity
WEBDevice Level Ring (DLR) is a network technology that takes advantage of embedded-switch functionality in automation devices, such as I/O modules, PACs and, in this instance, variable-speed drives. While a network- or switch-level ring topology provides resilience to the network infrastructure, DLR technology adds device-level network resilience.
