From lighting systems to the flight display, engine battery, and so much more, electrical devices have become a ubiquitous part of the modern aviation industry. As with any key components on board, it is important that these devices are kept in great working condition for as long as possible. As such, phase monitors are commonly used to protect many of the electrical systems from overvoltage, undervoltage, phase loss, and more. Working in conjunction with surge protectors, they can detect harmful conditions within electrical networks and shut off power to prevent lasting damage.

Most rotating instruments in systems across various industries rely on shafts to generate their rotational motion. One common application for shafts are in electric motors; an electric motor shaft is a centrally located cylindrical part that protrudes from the motor and housing. Operating in relation to speed and torque, the shaft functions to transfer energy from the motor to its intended use. With various factors to consider when procuring a motor shaft for your specific applications, this blog will offer an overview of the construction and characteristics of these vital part types.

Lithium-ion batteries have many advantages over their lead-acid counterparts. For example, they are lighter, more efficient, charge faster, and have a longer lifespan. However, they are also susceptible to many conditions that can damage the battery pack. To avoid these conditions, lithium-ion batteries utilize a battery management system (BMS). A BMS could be considered the brain of a battery pack. It is a set of electronics that monitors and manages all aspects of the battery’s performance and, more importantly, prevents the battery from operating beyond its safety margins.
