Complete Guide to Standards and Selection of Bolts and Nuts for Efficient Mechanical Joints

Screws and nuts are used to fasten and fix joints of removable elements, therefore, if the helix of the thread is external, it is a screw and if it is internal, it is a nut. The most important part of screws and nuts is the thread.

Everything You Need to Know about Threads

A thread is a surface whose axis is contained in the plane and around it describes a cylindrical helical path (this is the name given to any curved line whose tangents form a constant angle (α), following a fixed direction in space).

Tool cases with foam trays: A great solution in installation and MRO operations

In the energy sector, whether in the installation of wind or solar structures or in power generation plants, fieldwork requires precise planning and the proper use of specialized tools. This article will explore the problems associated with not having an organized tool kit in this type of work, as well as the advantages of using tool cases with foam trays.

The Latest Advances in Floating Wind Structures

Floating wind has emerged as a promising solution for expanding energy production capacity in deeper offshore areas, where traditional fixed-bottom wind turbines are not viable. Thanks to innovation in materials, design and anchoring technology, floating structures are revolutionizing the offshore sector.

Energy Storage Systems (BESS): An Efficient Solution for the Energy Future

Energy storage systems (BESS) are technologies designed to capture and store energy from different sources, such as solar, wind, or from the power grid, for later use. This storage capacity is critical to balancing energy supply and demand, improving grid stability, and facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources.
