Abstract: The procedure used to obtain the general performance characteristics and design data of various nonvibratory feeders is described in detail for the case of the bladed-wheel hopper feeder. The ...

Abstract: The procedure used to obtain the general design data of various orienting devices for vibratory-bowl feeders and the general performance characteristics for vibratory-bowl feeding systems are ...

Abstract: A statistical analysis of the performance of a vee cutout orienting device used in a vibratory bowl feeder is presented. The results of experimental tests are described and compared with the ...

Abstract: An equation which takes account of the effects of viscous heating is used in place of the conventional Reynolds equation in a Grubin style analysis of the elastohydrodynamic inlet zone. The ...

Abstract: An analytical model for the hydrodynamic lubrication of high speed strip rolling is developed. The model includes the effect of thermal loading due to back flow and slip on the film formation ...
