Rare earthelements list

Used to create strong metals for use in aircraft engines. Praseodymium is also a component of a special sort of glass, used to make visors to protect welders and glassmakers.

Important in making televisions and computer screens and other devices that have visual displays as they are used in making materials that give off different colours. Europium is also used in making control rods in nuclear reactors.

The Sniper V2 connects magnetically to the top of the spindles at the front of the kart, one for each spindle. Some karts allow for mounting of these tools on the shoulder of the spindle, while others utilize the tool best at the end of the spindle stub, sometimes known as the stub axle.

Rare earthelements uses

The Sniper V2 Inox alignment system includes several components. Naturally, the main piece is the dual set of lasers, with integrated cartesian grids for alignment. In addition to the laser, a steel ruler and rare earth magnet are included, which are useful for checking steering sweep and adjustment, ensuring the steering rate of the kart is even, whether the kart turns left or right.

This element is used in camera and telescope lenses. Compounds containing lanthanum are used extensively in carbon lighting applications, such as studio lighting and cinema projection.

Used in X-ray and MRI scanning systems, and also in television screens. Research is also being done into its possible use in developing more efficient refrigeration systems.

"Rare earths" are a group of 17 chemically similar elements crucial to the manufacture of many hi-tech products. Despite their name, most are abundant in nature but are hazardous to extract. Most "rare earth" elements have uses in several different fields, as well as those listed below.

Used in catalytic converters in cars, enabling them to run at high temperatures and playing a crucial role in the chemical reactions in the converter. Lanthanum and cerium are also used in the process of refining crude oil.

This is used to make powerful magnets used in loudspeakers and computer hard drives to enable them to be smaller and more efficient. Magnets containing neodymium are also used in green technologies such as the manufacture of wind turbines and hybrid cars.

An integrated bubble level allows for accurate calibration of each Sniper unit, to make sure that the alignment system is aligned relative to the ground surface. This makes the tool useful regardless of whether the kart is on the ground, on a kart stand, be that on tilted ground or level. As long as the kart frame is straight and true, and lays on a straight and true surface, this device will work in a variety of orientations or conditions.

The Sniper V2 Inox Alignment System is the most popular tool for kart racers to align the front steering system on the market. With accurate laser projection to allow for easy adjustment of kart camber, steering sweep, and toe, the V2 Inox system is ideal for just about every kart racer out there.

While the laser and steel ruler and magnet are great, one of the best tools included with this kit is actually the plastic perspex cover of the box! This perspex is a great tool to help align both lasers to simulate 'straight' steering while conducting an alignment. Lastly, a custom fit plastic carrying case completes the entire kit. This plastic box is quite sturdy, it can really hold together despite a lot of punishment!
