4 Questions with an Engineer

Luca walks us through this year's racing season and how he prepares for the challenge.

Racing and motion control go hand in hand. Danny Djalek, one of CCTY’s European engineers, joins us to discuss why racing is such a powerful proving ground, what it reveals about performance under pressure, and how those lessons translate directly into our products, as well as the sponsorship of racecar driver Luca Link.

Join us as we delve into the groundbreaking innovations showcased at RoboBusiness and the Humanoid Robotic Forum . This special episode explores the latest trends, game-changing technologies, and inspiring keynotes that are shaping the future of humanoid robotics. Whether you’re an industry insider or a curious enthusiast, we’ll unpack the biggest takeaways from these premier trade shows, featurin...

Developments in humanoid robotics are moving at an incredibly fast speed. Accessing cutting-edge educational sessions and the expo hall at the Robotics Summit in Boston offered powerful insight to those who attended. Listen in as CCTY's robotics engineers discuss what they took away from the show.

Nearly 21% of warehouses used some form of robotics in 2023, which is up from 15% in 2018, according to research firm Interact Analysis. This advancement is also seen in how humanoid robots are constructued. Nick Jerinic walks us through the trends he is seeing in the field.

If you know of a recent college graduate - or mechanical engineering student - this podcast is a "must listen" for advice on securing an internship and landing a position in the field. Yaman Obaid walks us through his recent job search and provides insight on: How and when students should look for an internship. Securing a full-time engineering job before graduating. His advice for peopl...

FEA uses mathematical models to understand the effects of real-world conditions on parts and assemblies. The simulations allow engineers to locate potential problems in a design, including areas of weakness or tension. In this episode, we dive deep in to the benefits of FEA and tips to use when preforming FEA analysis. We also share important suspension FEA studies for components.

In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked aspects of bearing design that go beyond pure engineering. Our guest speaker delves into the impact of non-technical factors such as project timelines, estimated annual usage estimates, target costs and importance of sample orders on bearing design. This episode provides valuable insights for engineers and industry professionals alike, highlighting...

When working on a new product design - or improving an existing one - there a times when an off-the-shelf bearing isn't a good fit. Listen in as one of CCTY Bearing Company's engineers talks about how to avoid missteps when designing a new bearing solution.

What does Leonardo Da Vinci and the Industrial Revolution have to do with ball bearings? Take a listen to the deep history behind ball bearings - and the different types of ball bearings - in this episode.

Bushings are found in two locations within shock absorbers - the eyelet and inside the shock. Learn more about bushings in these locations and performance requirements.

The off-road sport market has a long history of fixing vehicles and DIY'ing solutions. Hear how an engineer responds to a few of these "fixes."

Transferring power from your car's engine is the responsibility of the torque converter. Bushings play a vital role in this operation. Learn how they are constructed and how to know if the bushing is defective.

Seat applications have bearings in suspension and recliners. Learn how bushings make your drive more comfortable - and what goes into today's bushings that have higher requirements when it comes to cycles and friction range.
