But first, let’s look at the history and production technology of industrial sensors of various vapor and impurities in the air.

INCREASE THE RELIABILITY OF THE “GRINDER”

INCREASE RELIABILITY A master homebrew, working with metal, have in their Arsenal, angle grinder, called colloquially the “grinder” (the name originated in the old “stagnant” times, due to the fact that this power in the USSR were exclusively Bulgarian production). The undoubted positive qualities (high performance, ease of use, versatility, etc.) have angular shlifmashiny quickly wear out and even break the teeth of bevel gear pairs. To acquire the right set of gears and to sort out the gearbox — no problem. However, this does not relieve further from repeated repairs. It’s all about the grease, or rather in its failure. In the process of thick grease under the action of centrifugal forces distributed over the walls of the casing, divided into sectors by ribs, and thus out of business.
