and kinematic holding that were previously done manually or run without any shock and vibration protection at all. These designs see the most performance improvements when vibrations are isolated or damped. In other instances, incorporation of sensing capabilities has (just as with couplings) leveraged the strategic placement of shock absorbers to gain IoT (Industry 4.0) functionalities. Just consider the input of Brad Griffin, product line manager at ITT Enidine, for more on this. Describe how the trend for ever-higher throughput is prompting more use of shock and vibration mitigation.
The industrial automation and manufacturing industries’ continued focus on ever-higher throughput and efficiency is impacting the DESIGN WORLD — MOTION
