​Arrowboards are a kind of advance warning traffic control device utilized where lane and traffic must merge with other traffic in the adjacent lane. They come in various types designed for certain purposes. Here are the three major ones you can choose from, depending on your particular application.
 
The Trailer Mounted Arrowboards
 
Under this general category, there are two available to consider namely the vertical-mast and folding-frame arrowboards. The former has a display panel that remains vertical all the time but can be rotated to face the traffic. The second type is even more power efficient as it comes with a unique power system that utilizes compact, small, and eco-friendly batteries.
 
LED Solar Arrowboards
 
As the name implies, this other type of arrowboard is powered through solar panels with a battery storage bank. The bulbs are not only eco-friendly but are also durable to last for over a decade or two, depending on the specific technology. Better yet, there are display options that include left, right, sequencing arrows, warning bar, double arrow, and caution arrow.
 
Skid-Mounted Arrowboards
 
Among various types of arrowboards, these ones are the most energy-efficient signs. They use low power, have a self-contained power supply, and a control module. The skid can be mounted to a truck bed or any rigid footing to keep the arrow stay firmly in place. They are also self-powered and you can select a fixed-position or a pivoting skid.
 
So these are all the different types. They might be installed differently, but arrowboards do the same thing. If placed properly, they warn and give enough reaction time to any situation to approaching motorists. Finally, you have to keep in mind that the effective placement of arrowboards becomes contingent on sight visibility. Moreover, speed and road geometry must be considered before placement.
 

​Used air compressors in Toronto are flexible energy solutions that provide amazing energy solutions to various industries. With proper maintenance, you can keep your air compressor operating smoothly for many years to come. In general, the major threats to air compressors are moisture and rust. Rust forming on the tank can be dangerous, and we are discussing below what causes rust and how to deal with it.
 
Why Rust Forms on Air Compressors
 
At the start of any air compressor’s product life cycle, the equipment has very little to no water inside. Once it is put into use, the chemical reaction between the existing gases inside the tank such as oxygen and hydrogen results in moisture that interacts with iron present in the tank. The amount of moisture or water increases with the continued use of the compressor.
 
While condensation produced by the air compression process can go out via the nozzle, the remaining 10% inside the tank condenses and becomes water. This, in turn, results in rust forming inside the tank. Rust is a highly corrosive chemical reaction that can compromise the integrity of your compressor’s tank. If this occurs, it has to be replaced to ensure everyone’s safety.
 
How to Prevent Rust Formation?
 
Rust prevention is the best way to protect your air compressor tank safe from the irreparable damages caused by rust. The most effective way to achieve this is by draining your tank regularly after each operation, or that would mean daily. Doing this gets rid of the condensation that is pooling at the tank’s bottom. Following the draining, just leave the valve open for several hours first to let the interior of the tank dry out.
 
A great alternative is to use an after cooler that is attached to the tank that will prevent water vapour from entering the tank. It serves as a filter that collects warm air and cools it, and thus, prevents moisture from forming in the first place while eliminating the heat that adversely impacts the compressor. For optimal results, the after cooler must be connected to the discharge of your used air compressor in Toronto. 
 
So now you know how critical it is to prevent rust from forming inside your compressor’s tank. Keep in mind those tips mentioned above so that you can use your compressor for a long time.

In general, electric gearmotors are used in applications that need high output torque and lower output speed, especially where space and available power are restricted. This covers a broad range of equipment applications across various industries that use some kind of gearbox or another. From wipers in automobiles to motorized patient beds in hospitals, conveyors, automatic doors and windows, a gearmotor is a crucial component of those equipment systems that impact their overall performance. So, what is gearmotor and where it is commonly used for?
 
Basically, gearmotors are electric motors that are built with a gear train. They usually employ either an alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). In many cases, a gear reducer is also utilized to amplify the output torque available in the machine without necessarily increasing the power consumption of the motor. However, the biggest trade-off for this is a significant reduction in the output shaft speed and lower efficiency in general. But by using the right gearmotor technology, still, the optimal output and speed requirements can still be achieved without compromising overall efficiency.
 
Now, when it comes to the applications for gearmotors, as they are mostly used in almost all applications using geared technology, it is much better to discuss the applications that are not applicable for their use. In essence, applications that need low torque and high shaft speed would most likely not benefit from employing a gearmotor. These include pumps, scanners, and simple fan applications. In these applications, the speed of the motor’s shaft rotation is the most crucial factor and certain applications that need optimal efficiency, minimal noise, and highly precise torque controls may benefit from a motor-only solution.
 
At Bauer GMC, we are here to help you understand your power transmission requirements. Whether you need a gearmotor to connect to your existing gearbox or need assistance in creating the optimal gearmotor for new applications, just give us a call today.

Every excellent electrician team has a reliable reel trailer for transporting cable wires to various project locations. To make sure their cables are ready to deploy and remain undamaged during the transport, these electricians only use highly dependable reel trailers from reliable manufacturers. Here are four great qualities that your high-quality reel trailer must possess.

Strong ChassisHigh-quality reel trailer trucks with strong chassis have the strength and durability to tow reel trailers of various weights and sizes. Due to its size, it can possibly carry electrician teams for immediate deployment upon arrival in the project location, which effectively reduces project downtime.

Dependable DollyThe weight of the reel is carried by the dollies, which are located at the front and back of the trailer. A strong dolly will maintain the cable reel’s position and center of gravity, effectively reducing possible drops and damages before the truck arrives at the project location. This means that when a trailer is traveling, weight is being taken off the wheels, which helps to improve traction.

Capable WinchStrong winches can be run by the truck driver or just one installation team member. Plus, it can spin, lift, and lower cables of varying sizes into underground dig sites or aerial installations with minimal difficulties. Heavy winches can handle heavier cables, but the reel trailer truck must be capable of carrying its weight.

Sturdy HitchA hitch is a device, or a knot, used to hold a cable and prevent it from slipping and becoming entangled with the rest of the cable. Sturdy hitches play a critical role in cable reel transportation and installation because they prevent the cable from being subjected to excessive forces.
