Possible causes for warpage include overpacking in the gate area because of high injection pressure, improperly balanced core and cavity temperatures, molded-in strains caused by low stock temperature or the mold being too cold, too long a flow, insufficient gates, improper design, nonuniform walls, improperly balanced multiple gates, the part being ejected when it is too hot, or inadequate or poor location of the knockout mechanism.

OBS

warpage; warping: terms and definition standardized by ISO [International Organization for Standardization].

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aerodynamics and Theory of Gases
  • Electric Rotary Machines - Types

CONT

Twist. The tips of a WT [wind turbine] blade move through the air faster than the roots in the direction of rotation, but the oncoming wind speed is similar at all points along the blade. Hence, to achieve the optimal angle of attack along its length, a WT blade is twisted so that the pitch of the blade reduces from the root to the tip.

Géométrie d'une pale d'éolienne dont la conformation hélicoïdale permet une réduction du pas, du pied à l'extrémité, permettant ainsi d'optimiser l'angle d'attaque.

Spanish

  • Máquinas rotativas eléctricas - tipos
  • Energía eólica
