New Mechanical Components and Assemblies Products

Collets and Guide Bushings suit Swiss-type lathes.

Headstock and sub-spindle collets are ground to precise size and TIR to meet precision machining requirements. Carbide-lined, Swiss guide bushings keep stock clean and unmarked, and extended-nose collets are suited for pick-off work or to compensate for tooling interference. Heat-treated to 40 Rockwell at head, they also serve as emergency collets.

Cable Management Cabinets offer secure telecommunications closet.

Available in 4 sizes, cabinets come with curved safety glass front door, removable side panels, and solid rear door (all lockable). They also have ventilation fans, 4 adjustable 12-24 tapped EIA mounting rails, and cable access at top and bottom. Wall mount cabinets are available in 5 sizes and are...

Linear Slides work with stages for design flexibility.

EasyLinear(TM) linear motion products include Round Way and Profiled Rail Ball Slides, as well as Teflon-® Composite Slides. Ball slides are suitable for high-speed and positioning applications. Teflon-® Composite slides are suitable for rugged environments.

Axial-Thrust Assembly removes shrink-fit and frozen parts.

Solution Series Assembly consists of two steel, 2-piece collars; one which is free to slide on shaft and push against component to be moved, and another which clamps securely to shaft. It provides -½ in. range of motion. Available in 8 sizes from -¾ to 2-½ in. I.D., assembly can be infinitely repositioned along shaft and offers from 5,000 to 8,000 lb thrust, depending upon size.

Reflective Tapes and Their Visibility Control Applications

This ebook provides an overview into reflective tapes and their visibility control applications.

Grinding Wheels quickly remove heavy welds.

Sigma Green Premium Grinding Wheels have zirconia/ceramic grain. Designed for right-angle grinders, wheels come in 4, 4 1/2, 5, and 7 in. diameters, and are available with 5/8-11 throw-away adapters. Wheels cut up to 50% faster than aluminum oxide on 316 stainless steel, and run 20% cooler. Eliminating discoloration and warping of stainless steel and highly alloyed materials, typical applications...

Spindle Seal suits new and retrofit applications.

Universal AirShield(TM) features precision machined steel housing and Viton lip seal. It provides tangential air purge system for dynamic and static protection. Constant air flow creates near frictionless seal between bearing cap and spindle shaft to protect front and rear bearings. Seal eliminates spindle failure due to bearing contamination from coolant ingress and condensation, contamination,...

Hose Clamp triples band tension.

Mechanically interlocked NORMACLAMP-® GBS M, made of lightweight aluminum-zinc, has rounded edges to minimize hose abrasion. It is offered in 4 bandwidths, with diameters ranging from 1 to 6 in. in increments of 1/4 in. Diameters up to 10 in. are also available. No Chromium VI is used in manufacturing of clamp or hex bolt. Clamp is used to contain high pressure or suction in municipal...

Threaded Inserts available for metal, plastic, or wood.

Thin Wall insert combines strength of solid-construction inserts with same diameter as wire inserts. All inserts install without special tools. Inserts for metal are available with internal threads from 4-40 through 1-8 and metric from M3-M20. Inserts for wood are available in brass, stainless steel, and zinc in sizes from 4-40 to 3/8-16 and M3-M8. Inserts for plastic are available in sizes from...

Gap Filler Materials reduce stress on solder joints.

Form-in-place, fully cured, thermally conductive THERM-A-GAP-® T630 and T630G provide conformable thermal path between hot components and heat spreaders. Dispensable T630 and T630G viscoelastic pastes achieve 50% deflection at 1 psi. T630G material contains added filler of 0.010 in. dia glass beads. Both gap fillers provide thermal conductivity of 0.7 W/m-K and are capable of filling gaps from...

Double Nut Design stops errors caused by spacers.

UNILOCK double nut design for large precision ground ball screws eliminates need for spacers or connecting hardware. Its method also eliminates backlash by using two nuts preloaded against each other and then locked using integral bonding system. With minimal number of parts, double nut eliminates angular errors in assembly of two nuts. UNILOCK system is available for ball screw diameters from 16...

Basalt America Announces Stronger, Lighter, and Corrosion-Free FRP's (Fiber Reinforced Polymers)

Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP), represents a truly groundbreaking advancement in structural reinforcement. Lightweight, strong, and green, they are changing the way the construction industry thinks about rebar. Unlike steel, FRPs don't rust and are far stronger than standard rebar. To learn why Fiber Reinforced Polymers are poised to change the way the world builds, see our video.
