son, Nathan, 20, would not eat.

"We thought as long as the younger ones were fed, that was the main thing," she said.

It was not until January this year that she decided to seek support, turning to the Helping Hands food pantry in Melbourne's Airport West.

Families are allowed to access 20 kilograms of fresh food and pantry staples a week, for a gold coin donation.

"It was an incredibly hard step to take," she said through tears.

"No-one wants to admit they're not coping, I'm a very proud person. But I'd just tell anyone who is struggling to put food on the table — get help. It is out there."

High demand for help to feed families

Melanie Kent established the Helping Hands charity in 2007, initially to help drought-affected people in ruralhousing and prevent contaminants from entering the bearing housing. The more elaborate the pathway, the less chance there is that contaminating materials will pass through the structure and into the bearing housing.
In addition, in a typical rotor and stator configuration, some minimum clearance must be maintained to keep the rotor and stator from contacting one another. In some applications, such as aircraft landing gear, the rotor may spin at speeds in excess of about 5000 rpm. If a surface of the rotor contacts a surface of the stator at these speeds, frictional heat develops, the components wear, and the overall efficiency and working life of the apparatus declines. It is, therefore, important to keep the rotor and stator separate.
Further, seals are used to prevent the migration of contaminants
