The Recumbent & HPV Information Center BEST OF MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2012 by Yatzer The 51st edition of Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2012 (17-22 April) is now officially over. Thousands of pairs of hungry eyes from the creative world descended on the city and fulfilled their hunger for design with hundreds of new projects and installations.

Chair Blog — Chairs, Chair Designers and Chair Manufacturers Improving Chain Lubrication The majority of chains used in industry suffer unnecessarily short lives. This leads many companies to forego chains all together and replace them with belts. In most cases, however, the problem is not the fault of the chains but rather the method in which they are lubricated. The current chain lubrication practice consists of applying a heavy oil or grease to the outside of the chain. While this does a nice job of lubricating the sprockets and the outside of the chain, it does little to protect the most vulnerable area of the chain: the contacting surfaces inside the pin and bushing/ plate/ roller/ hook. The majority of chains fail from the inside. Figure 1. A penetrating-type chain lubricant not only displaces water, but also cleans dirt and wear metals out of the pins of the chain and off of the sprockets. The operating conditions (including load, environment, temperature and speed) must also be considered. The method of lubrication is equally important.
