In-line gear reducers, alternatively referred to as concentric shaft reducers, pose an in-line design with high-speed input shaft sharing the centerline with the slow-speed output shaft. Reducers of this type use several technologies to achieve torque generation and velocity reduction. These reducers exhibit low noise levels, high efficiency, high reduction, bolt-in interchangeability, and are compatible with equipment that require speed reduction including positive displacement pumps. Reducers of this type are employed in less demanding applications such as servo and rotary positioning applications.

An induced draft fan is a type of mechanical fan that is used to draw gases out of a system, and in most cases, exhaust it into the atmosphere. Induced draft fans are commonly used in boilers and furnaces, to remove flue gases from them, creating negative pressure within. This negative pressure or suction in the furnace or boiler creates an air draft in them, which is required for combustion. While in most cases induced draft fans are centrifugal fans, axial induced-draft fans are also available.

Insulated hose is a flexible piping engaged to distribute cryogenic liquids. The hose is bendable possessing a minimal bend radius, and is comprised of a pair of corrugated stainless steel tubes concentric with each other and spaced apart by a Teflon spacer. The space in between the tubes is filled with vacuum continuously by a pump to create dynamic vacuum insulation, which does not deteriorate. The hose is ice-free with the outer tube assuming a temperature that is below the ambient temperature by only a few degrees. Hoses of this type are used transferring liquid nitrogen for short connection.
