What are High Vacuum Pumps? Vacuum pumps continue to grow in necessity as they are an essential component of most refrigeration and air conditioning systems. These high-functioning devices remove air or non-condensables from the system, altering the space's pressure and creating a full or partial vacuum.  High vacuum pumps possess a specific pressure range that fuels them to remove molecules from the vacuum space. With a pressure range of (10-3 to 10-8 torr), high vacuum pumps are used when the final absolute pressure is very low. These critical devices require consistent care to maintain the functionality of their essential applications...

What are Waterproof Automotive Sealants? Automotive sealants, or seals, refer to the rubber commonly used to “seal” convertible tops, sunroofs, moonroofs, trunk lids, doors, and weather stripping used around car windows. When automotive seals function properly, the average consumer barely ever interacts with them—they may not notice them at all. However, once issues with automotive seals start to fail, they can lead to significant issues.  Some of these problems include NVH-related (noise, vibration, and harshness) malfunctions such as shaking, squeaking, and rattling from the glass of the sunroof or moonroof; windows rubbing against the rubber seals leading to noise or...

What is NVH? Automotive NVH, or noise, vibration, and harshness, refers to a particular field of tribology that focuses on measuring, modifying, and often reducing the noise and vibration characteristics of vehicles, typically applied to cars and trucks. Automotive engineers commonly face the challenge of mitigating NVH when designing modern automobiles. As vehicles become increasingly complex, the standards for NVH become higher, but sometimes, refining NVH for a comfortable and quieter car experience depends on supplemental actions and products. Where in Cars Does NVH Originate? Primarily, NVH issues stem from areas of the car where unique materials interact with each...

What are Mechanical Keyboards and Switches? Mechanical keyboards continue to grow in popularity with the rise of gaming, as the optimal keyboard can significantly impact performance and execution. Mechanical keyboards are the classic keyboards from the 1980s and 1990s, but today are made with high-quality plastic switches to facilitate tactile keystrokes. These switches consist of the keycap, the stem, and a housing case, and are spring-loaded for better pressure sensitivity than other, more common keyboards.  These increasingly essential tools are composed of complex components that require informed care and attentive upkeep to maintain effectiveness and reliability, especially due to their...
