Flexible printed circuit boards, also known as flex circuits or flex boards, are thin flexible circuits that can be bent and folded to fit into tight spaces. They provide electrical connections between components while still allowing mechanical motion and flexibility. Flex boards are used in a wide variety of applications […]

The human body has different types of joints that connect bones and allow movement. Joints provide the body with mobility and flexibility to perform various functions. There are three main types of flexible joints in the human body: Ball and Socket Joints What is a ball and socket joint? A […]
Introduction Couplings are used to connect two shafts together while allowing for shaft misalignment and end movement or vibration. There are two main types of couplings: rigid couplings and flexible couplings. Rigid couplings like sleeve or clamp couplings provide a very stiff connection between the shafts but do not allow […]

A flexible joint is a mechanical coupling that allows angular misalignment or offset while transmitting torque and rotating motion. Flexible joints are used to connect rotating shafts that are not precisely aligned or have small parallel or angular misalignments. They accommodate the misalignment and enable smooth power transmission between the […]
The human body has many different types of joints that connect bones together and allow movement. Joints can be classified as either rigid or flexible based on the amount of movement they allow. Understanding the differences between rigid and flexible joints is important for learning how the skeletal system enables […]

Rigid printed circuit boards (rigid PCBs) are the most common type of printed circuit board (PCB) used in electronics manufacturing. As the name suggests, rigid PCBs have a rigid, non-flexible structure made from materials like FR-4 glass epoxy. Rigid PCBs provide a sturdy foundation for mounting and interconnecting electronic components […]

Introduction A rigid-flex printed circuit board (PCB) combines rigid and flexible substrate materials to create a circuit board that has both rigid sections and flexible folds or hinges. Rigid-flex PCBs allow three-dimensional configuration of electronic circuits and can improve reliability, space savings, and manufacturing automation. Some common examples and applications […]
Introduction Flex circuits, also known as flexible printed circuits (FPCs), and rigid flex circuits are two common types of printed circuit boards (PCBs) used in electronics manufacturing. While they share some similarities, there are important differences between flex and rigid flex circuits in terms of their construction, applications, and benefits. […]

A flexible printed circuit board (PCB) is a type of circuit board made with flexible materials that allow the board to bend and flex without damage. Flexible PCBs go by several common names, including: Flexible Circuit Board The most generic name is simply “flexible circuit board” or “flex circuit.” This […]

Introduction Flexible printed circuit boards (flex PCBs or flex circuits) are made from flexible insulating substrate materials that can bend and flex while still providing electrical connections. They allow printed circuits to be folded, twisted or formed to fit tightly within products with space and shape constraints. Flex PCBs are […]
