Choosing a Castor & Wheel

Mountings

Toplates with four bolt holes spread the load over the swivel head and are the commonest fixing. Single bolt hole with a fastener through the centre of the swivel head are limited to loads up to 320 kilogrammes. Bolt hole castors can be fitted with threaded stems and round or square expanding sockets to fit into tubes.

Loadings

When assessing the load rating of a castor remember that a smooth floor ? free from cracks, uneven joints, gullies etc ? will be needed to overcome the shock loads created by the defect. The configuration of the castors on the trolley also makes a difference to load calculations. Because floors are not perfectly flat, as a trolley moves, one castor may float and not be supporting any load. An allowance must be made for this and below are the castor load calculations for each configuration.

  • 2 Swivel and 2 Fixed. Pushed with the fixed castors leading this offers the best control of the load with good steering on both straight runs and cambers. Suitable for most loads. Castor capacity required is at least 33% of the total gross load.
  • 4 Swivel. Offers maximum manoeuvrability but is difficult to control on straight runs, cambers and uneven surfaces, particularly with heavy loads. Fit directional locks to the front castors to overcome these difficulties. Castor capacity required is at least 33% of the total gross load.
  • 1 Swivel and 2 Fixed. Easy to manoeuvre but only suitable for small trolleys with light loads. Stability can be a problem and loads must be distributed evenly. Castor capacity required is at least 40% of the total gross load.
  • 3 Swivel. Maximum manoeuvrability but is difficult to control on straight runs, cambers and uneven surfaces. Only suitable for small trolleys with light loads. Castor capacity required is at least 40% of the total gross load.
  • 4 Swivel and 2 Fixed Centrally Pivoting. Used on long trolleys to optimise control and manoeuvrability. The two central fixed castors are usually one size larger or the same as the swivel but fitted with a 25mm packing under the top plate. Castor capacity for the fixed castors is at least 50% of the total gross load. Swivel castors load will vary.
  • 2 Swivel and 2 Fixed Centrally Pivoting Similar to above but less stable if the load is not evenly distributed. The two central castors are usually one size larger or the same as the swivel but fitted with a 25mm packing under the top plate. Castor capacity for the fixed castors is at least 50% of the total gross load. Swivel castors loads will vary.

Wheels

Castor wheels are designed to be supported at both ends. They are intended for use in units with manual propulsion with speeds up to four miles per hour. Do not use on power towing without specialist advice as this application introduces many extra stresses and strains. Wheels can be categorised into two groups, hard treads and soft treads.

Hard Tread Wheels

Are the easiest to push because they have the least tractive resistance. The disadvantage of them is that they are noisy and are liable to cause excessive floor wear. The main types of hard tread wheels are as follows:

  • Cast Iron and Steel combine strength and shock resistance with long life and economy. Temperature range ? 40°c to +250°c
  • Nylon has a high load capacity, is light and clean and causes little floor damage. Temperature range ? 40°c to + 130°c
  • Polyproylene has a good load capacity but does not have the abrasion of fracture resistance of nylon. Temp ? 20°c to + 80°c
  • Phenolic is very hard, abrasion resistant, fracture resistant but liable to wear and chip. High temperatures up to + 350°c

Soft Tread Wheels

Are resilient, making the quieter with generally less marking and floor wear. Tractive resistance however is much higher. Recent developments in new grades of polyurethane and rubber have now increased load capacities and reduced tractive resistance. There are many types of soft tread wheels, which is increasing all the time the advance in rubber and elastomer technologies.

  • Solid Rubber is the basic range although new thermoplastic grades are hard wearing with low coast. Temp ? 20°c to + 60°c
  • Elastic Rubber has a high load capacity, high wear resistance and gives a smooth, soft, cushioned ride. Temp ? 20°c to + 60°c
  • Polyurethanes have very high load capacity, abrasion and tear resistance, soft ride and chemical resistance. Temp ? 30°c to + 90°c
  • Pneumatic are excellent for shock absorbing and work well on difficult surfaces like grass, gravel and rough uneven surfaces.
  • High temperature wheels are now also available with high temperature rubber types suitable for temperatures up to 250°c

Wheel Bearings

The choice of bearings is determined by the application, working environment and load.

  • Plain bearings are mainly for intermittent use and low loads, Risks include axle wear and squeaking in dusty and wet conditions.
  • Roller bearings are simple in construction, robust and excellent for regular use on low/medium loads working at low speeds.
  • Ball Journal precision bearings are for higher loads with high radial and moderate forces. Low speed towing and manual.
  • Taper Roller bearings are in larger diameter wheels with the highest loads and most arduous applications including towing.
  • Sintered Bronze or other metals are a plain bearing used on high temperature application to reduce friction and bearing wear.
  • Teflon Sleeve bushes are another plain bearing to reduce wear and friction, but are used on lighter loads than sintered bronze.

    FireFox 3 Download Day Tuesday

    FAQ

    What is Download Day?

    Download Day is our attempt to set a world record for the most software downloads in 24 hours and will occur on Firefox 3 launch day.

    When is Download Day?

    Download Day will coincide with the general availability of Firefox 3. The clock will start ticking when Firefox 3 goes out the door! We don’t have a definitive date for Firefox 3 yet, but it should be in June.

    How do I take part in the record?

    It’s simple–just download Firefox 3 as soon as it is available, preferably from Download Day Headquarters. You’ll get a customized certificate by downloading from Headquarters.

    How will I know it’s time to download Firefox 3?

    Please provide your email address when pledging to download Firefox 3 and we’ll send you reminder emails and notify you of the exact date. Or, you can check back at Download Day Headquarters for an update or follow “mozillafirefox” on Twitter for status.

    How can I help, other than downloading Firefox 3?

    The best thing to do is spread the word about Download Day – tell your mom, your neighbors, your colleagues – anyone and everyone!

    Here are a few other ways to help as we move towards the finish line:

    When will we find out if we’ve officially set the record?

    This will take approximately a week after our attempt date. Our judges and Guinness World Recordsâ„¢ need to review our download logs and validate our record attempt.

    Can we download more than one copy of Firefox per computer?

    No, please play nice and only download one copy of Firefox per computer. We ask that you refrain from creating download bots or any other mechanism that would be cheating. In order for our attempt to be legitimate, each download must be human initiated.

    What is Mozilla doing to make sure the record attempt is valid?

    Mozilla will only count downloads that are fully and completely transmitted, not partial or complete updates. We will also discard duplicate downloads with the help of a cookie system. We will be logging our downloads using Apache and these logs will be made available for audit to Guinness World Recordsâ„¢, as well as two judges - Corey Shields and Paul Vixie.

    Do we have to reach a specific number of downloads in order to set the record?

    This is the first record attempt of its kind so there is no set number. We’d really like to outdo the number of Firefox 2 downloads on its launch day, which was 1.6 million. Let’s shoot for 5 million–the sky is the limit!

    What qualifies as an official download of Firefox?

    A “download” is the transmission of the entire, fully functioning Firefox 3 — not an update.

    What does Mozilla have to provide Guinness to validate the record?

    We will provide the following:

    • Signed statements of authentication from our judges showing that we’ve followed the rules and confirming our numbers.
    • Video footage and photographs of our community members hosting Download Fests. Take pictures!!
    • Download logs for a sample size of our downloads. We will internally host 10% of the downloads, retaining all of the logs for these downloads, and will use this as our sample set to extrapolate the actual download number and percentage of completed downloads.
    What will Mozilla do with the email addresses that were collected in the pledge process?

    Mozilla only will use your email address to confirm your registration, send download reminders to you when Firefox 3 launches, and to let you know the results of our record attempt. We will not share your email address with any other organization or individual.

    How were country or regions determined on the pledge map?

    We selected amMap, an interactive map tool, that allowed us to easily create a map that would depict worldwide Firefox pledges. amMap includes a list of countries in its pull down menu. Unfortunately, finding a complete map and country list is nearly impossible. We’ve received feedback on how some regions and countries should be rendered and are taking this feedback seriously. We’re working directly with the developer to get it updated. Mozilla isn’t trying to make any political statements. Our goal is to present a map that inspires participants and shows the truly global passion for Firefox. Please email any questions to worldrecord@mozilla.com.

    What information is the map using to track downloads by country?

    The map is associating an Internet Protocol (IP) address, which is non-personally-identifying information, with a geo location. No private or personal information is tracked or collected.

    How do I use the affiliate buttons on my website or blog?

    Start by choosing the size and design you prefer then simply copy the source code. Paste the code anywhere on your website or blog to link to Download Day headquarters.

    How do I download an official participant certificate?

    A special form will be available on the Download Day Headquarters as soon as Firefox 3 launches and Download Day kicks off. Simply enter your name and select print for your very own certificate.

    Is there any official Download Day merchandise available for purchase?

    At this point, we don’t have any merchandise available, but we’re considering it. Please feel free to send ideas to worldrecord@mozilla.com.

    Where can I find out more information about Firefox 3 features?

    Please check out our Firefox 3 page at Download Day Headquarters.

    Will I be able to find this record on the Guinness website or in the printed version of the book?

    We hope so! Guinness World Recordsâ„¢ receives many record attempt requests and can’t accommodate everyone. Let’s catch their eye by working to make this a spectacular record with millions of downloads and great, zany Download Fests.

    4 COOL THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH YOUR MOBILE PHONE

    FIRST                                    Emergency


    The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

    SECOND                         Have you locked your keys in the car?

    Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone.

    Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to
    drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other ‘remote’ for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
    Editor’s Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!’

    THIRD                             Hidden Battery Power

    Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.

    FOURTH                     How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

    To check your Mobile phone’s serial number, key in the following digits on your phon! e: * # 0 6 #

    A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can’t use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

     This is the kind of information people don’t mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends

    Amiga Forever 2008

    Amiga Forever 2008: What’s New

    Amiga Forever 2008 is the most significant upgrade ever released in the Amiga Forever series. It sets new references in usability while more than tripling the featured content and providing easy access to a universe of free downloads. Amiga Forever 2008 was rewritten from scratch to redefine itself and the perception of emulation and retrogaming in general.

    The first impression when seeing the new skinned player on Windows can be stunning, compared to previous software. At the same time, the new player feels as familiar as “this is how it should always have been”. Behind the scenes, though, it took a monumental effort just to provide a Yes answer to questions like “Can’t you just double-click an ADF to play it?” With your help, we will keep listening and improving the software, also with lots of free updates.

    New features in Amiga Forever 2008 (all editions) include:

    • Revolutionary new and intuitive player interface for Windows, for easy selection and playback of games and other content
    • The new Amiga Forever player makes it possible to double-click or drag-and-drop downloaded disk images (e.g. ADF, ADZ, IPF, etc.) to play them, using heuristic content analysis to preset a suitable Amiga hardware configuration
    • The player has built-in support for dual screens and multiple emulation sessions
    • Rather than closing an emulation session, it is possible to save its state, for example to resume a game at a later time (the experience can be amazing, because the session is up and running again in an instant)
    • Full undo of ADF, ADZ, HDF and HDZ disk writes (disk changes may be committed or discarded when exiting the emulation)
    • Full support for Windows Vista x86 and x64 (probably the first and only Windows software with custom-shaped glass-enabled skin)

    Additional details about the new player for Windows:

    • Professional skin design with familiar “media player” interface
    • Buttons and other visual controls provide intuitive access to content and emulation features (pause, resume, disk change, reboot, joystick vs. keyboard selection, window size selection, full screen, Amiga screen capture, etc.)
    • Windowed mode visualizes games and demoscene productions as they were meant to be displayed, without large unused overscan areas
    • Helpful visualization of additional details (Amiga mouse options, device status with green/red read/write LEDs, etc.)
    • Integrated video playback (requires MPEG-2 support by the operating system, otherwise the Amiga Forever videos can be read by any DVD player)

    Additional new features in the Plus Edition of Amiga Forever 2008:

    • Content more than tripled (disk images are now compressed, and also used directly by the installer)
    • New “Amiga Forever Game Pack I” (more than 100 games)
    • More than 100 beautiful demoscene productions
    • New Gallery items: original Tripos article, “top secret” Amiga-Atari documents, and much more
    • New system HDFs: complete Amiga OS 1.3, 2.1 and 3.1 installations with only a minimum of add-ons (e.g. Y2K fixes, RTG update for 3.1), but otherwise identical to the original (including file attributes as intended by Commodore, which were lost in later distributions)
    • New ADFs (1.3 Extras, complete 3.1 install set, etc.)
    • New ROMs (Amiga 1000, A590 and A4091 boot ROMs, system-specific ROMs required for added compatibility, etc.)
    • Preinstalled WHDLoad “kickemu” support
    • New KX Light, bootable from CD and with HD installation option (featuring live updates) and extended hardware support

    New features in the Value Edition of Amiga Forever 2008:

    • Includes 50 games and 50 demos (more than the 2006 Premium Edition!)
    • Change of name (used to be “Online Edition”)

    For their help during the development of Amiga Forever 2008, special thanks to Amir Ansari, Robert Trevor Dickinson and Toni Wilen. See the Credits section in the Amiga Forever documentation for additional details

    Importance of ESD Protection in Electronics Manufacturing

    Importance of ESD Protection in Electronics Manufacturing

    (2008 ESD Brochure Here)

    Static electricity is generated every time materials rub against each other. A simple movement, such as a technician walking to their workbench, is enough to generate static electricity that could melt or deteriorate a device’s delicate electronic components. To protect your production areas you first have to understand why ESD (electrical static discharge) is generated and then put in place an anti-static policy.1

    Image of ESD workbenchIf you’ve ever felt an electric jolt when getting out of your car or taking clothes out of the tumble dryer then you’ve felt ESD. Charges of static electricity build up from all the materials rubbing together and then pass through your body when they’re able to escape. Large jolts of ESD can create a visible spark, with the most impressive being that of lightning.2

    Static electricity is generated when the electrons on the surface of one object pass onto another, causing it to become positively charged. The additional electrons are then just waiting for the opportunity to escape through a conductive object that allows the passing of electricity. When this occurs it’s what is known as an ESD event.3

    The heat from ESD is extremely hot, and if it occurs to an electrical device then it can cause immediate or delayed damage. A charge of a mere 30 volts is enough to damage the most sensitive electrical components, with most at risk from charges of 100-200 volts. A ‘latent defect’ is when the damage isn’t immediately noticeable but has dramatically shortened a device’s life and can cause it to malfunction without warning. Consequently, ESD poses a serious risk to not only when a device is manufactured but to the remainder of its lifespan.

    Use EPA logo to raises awareness about ESD protected areaIn order to protect your manufacturing area against ESD you need to turn it into an anti static EPA (ESD Protected Area).4 The principle of an EPA is that all your workbenches, trolleys, storage bins and other industrial furniture is connected to the ground so that static electricity can be dissipated (dispersed) safely. Your personnel can also be equipped with conductive shoes and wrist straps to dissipate built up static electricity safely.

    You can also improve the robustness of your EPA by investing in ESD resistant products such as workbenches, industrial trolleys and storage bins. ESD resistant industrial furniture features static-dissipative laminate worktops, which will send electrical charges to earthing points and through cables to the ground.

    With ESD a constant and undetectable threat to electronics manufacturing, introducing an anti-static EPA, with ESD resistant workbenches and other ESD resistant industrial furniture, is crucial for preventing immediate or delayed damage to your products.
