The LaSalle Community Fund Association, formed in 2021, is a group of local individuals who saw the need to assist and partner with LaSalle organizations — providing the community with funding support for a variety of worthwhile projects now and into the future.
One of the goals of the LaSalle Community Fund (LCF) is to establish a dedicated LaSalle Community Scholarship Fund for students from LaSalle graduating from Sandwich Secondary School, St. Thomas of Villanova Secondary School, or any other high school in Windsor-Essex County, who are pursuing post-secondary education at a Canadian institution.
To make this fund a reality, the association is seeking donations. As with its previous project, all contributions will be held and managed by the WindsorEssex Community Foundation (WECF). Importantly, 100 per cent of donations to the LaSalle Community Scholarship Fund will support LaSalle students.
Three students from the two LaSalle-area high schools have been selected for 2025. These $500 scholarships will not only provide meaningful financial support to LaSalle students and their families, but also help promote local high schools, boost enrolment and support jobs in the community.
“We are proud to support these students who have demonstrated a passion for making a positive impact in our LaSalle community. We look forward to witnessing how these leaders will continue to inspire. These students were truly honoured to have been selected as recipients for the 2025 LCF scholarships,” said Gisele Meloche, an LCF associate who served on the scholarship selection team alongside Don Harris and Melisse Reaume.
Making a tax-deductible donation now will ensure funds are available for 2026 and beyond — and is a meaningful opportunity to invest in LaSalle’s future. To donate to the LCF Scholarship Fund, visit lasallecommunityfund.ca.
Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me? https://www.binance.info/register?ref=IHJUI7TF
Equilibrado de piezas
El equilibrado es una etapa esencial en las tareas de mantenimiento de maquinaria agricola, asi como en la produccion de ejes, volantes, rotores y armaduras de motores electricos. Un desequilibrio provoca vibraciones que incrementan el desgaste de los rodamientos, generan sobrecalentamiento e incluso pueden causar la rotura de los componentes. Para evitar fallos mecanicos, resulta esencial detectar y corregir el desequilibrio a tiempo utilizando tecnicas modernas de diagnostico.
Principales metodos de equilibrado
Existen varias tecnicas para corregir el desequilibrio, dependiendo del tipo de componente y la intensidad de las vibraciones:
Equilibrado dinamico – Se utiliza en componentes rotativos (rotores y ejes) y se lleva a cabo mediante maquinas equilibradoras especializadas.
El equilibrado estatico – Se usa en volantes, ruedas y otras piezas donde basta con compensar el peso en un solo plano.
La correccion del desequilibrio – Se realiza mediante:
Perforado (retirada de material en la zona de mayor peso),
Colocacion de contrapesos (en ruedas y aros de volantes),
Ajuste de masas de balanceo (por ejemplo, en ciguenales).
Diagnostico del desequilibrio: equipos utilizados
Para detectar con precision las vibraciones y el desequilibrio, se utilizan:
Equipos equilibradores – Permiten medir el nivel de vibracion y determinan con exactitud los puntos de correccion.
Analizadores de vibraciones – Capturan el espectro de oscilaciones, identificando no solo el desequilibrio, sino tambien fallos adicionales (por ejemplo, el desgaste de rodamientos).
Sistemas de medicion laser – Se usan para mediciones de alta precision en mecanismos criticos.
Especial atencion merecen las velocidades criticas de rotacion – regimenes en los que la vibracion aumenta drasticamente debido a la resonancia. Un equilibrado adecuado evita danos en el equipo bajo estas condiciones.
