It is increasingly common to argue in electromechanical engineering projects about what is more important: for a motor to deliver a high torque, or for it to yield a high maximum power. These concepts, for most professionals or purchase managers, are not completely clear. In this article we will try to answer what each of them is. Make a note!

A company specialized in the manufacturing of entertainment machines contacts CLR in the year 2000 with a very specific need: finding a gear motor that was capable of efficiently and reliably controlling the reward coin container of their new gambling machines – the Hopper activation. How was this interesting project approached? What were the challenges? Do not miss the intricacies of this specific solution for the vending and entertainment machine industry.
Due to its sophistication, agility and precision, the automotive industry is considered to be an “industry of knowledge”. There is a true halo of innovation surrounding it, being one of the most dynamic industries, especially in regards to vehicle electromechanics.
During this past 2016, thanks to innovations in the electromechanics sector, projects which a few years ago would have been confined to science fiction have been developed. In this article of CLR’s blog we recap the best electromechanical engineering projects 2016 brought us.
The use of 3D printing for manufacturing injection moulds allows for prototypes to be made quickly and with high precision. The purpose of this system is accelerating and perfecting the design of the final part before mass production. In this article we analyse the advantages and disadvantages of this revolutionary system which is gradually being adopted by mechanical component manufacturing companies. Let’s begin.
With the New Year, your industrial company may be drafting or revising its budget allocation for 2017. When doing so, industrial trade fairs always lead the way as a source of contacts and business opportunities. But in this regard, it is common to wonder, which one is the most worthwhile? Which have been growing in importance during the last few years? This article covers the most important industrial automation trade fairs. Take note.
On every electromechanical engineering project, it is of utmost importance to think about how each actuation is to be performed. In order to accomplish them, there are different types of gear motors on the market, but the best choice will depend on the movement we want to accomplish, the power, or the space that is available. In this article we introduce you to an actuation system that may be very useful for certain applications: the parallel shaft gear motors. Do you want to learn about its applications and advantages?

Selection of the most appropriate electric motor for small applications results from analysing its load requirements for each application, as well as other more specific considerations such as work, system efficiency, motion requirements for the application, or the wear it is subjected to during its daily operation. We bring you some tips for you to select the right small electric motors. Keep reading!
The “world car” – this is how the American multi-national company baptised the Ford Mondeo (from Latin, Mundus). Its name may perhaps explain the company’s desire to design an affordable model with great features and advanced safety systems. Without a doubt, Ford set its sights high and hit the bullseye, receiving over 20 awards in several countries along the 23-year history of this iconic family car. We go over its evolution and its relationship with CLR!
The industry of passive fire protection is constantly evolving. The new safety regulations and the wish to prevent further damage in the face of any fire-related accident have prompted the emergence of new fire control systems, such as: smoke control, luminous signs, fireproof treatments or fire barriers.
