The 3-piece bayonet XT -A is assembled into a circular piece and provided with a cover plate. The part is designed so that it dissipates, together with an inlay heatsink , the heat generated by the installed LED ( 60-80°C ) . The casting challenge is to achieve defect...
A value analysis on the Remington Powerhammer targeted the bolt guide for cost reduction. The bolt guide was originally designed as a screw machined steel component. After prototyping and testing, engineers decided that die casting and ZA-8 provide the design...
SINAMICS Control Unit CU305 The casting is a housing for the most demanding industrial electronics. To avoid short circuits it needs to be free of residual particles. To save costs for post-processing and cleaning steps, a net-shape mold concept was developed....
Die Baugruppe besteht aus einer Anbindung und einem Sockel als Hauptelemente einer elektronischen Lenkungsverriegelung. Dabei handelt es sich um Sicherheitsteile aus dem Automotivebereich, die durch ihre Materialeigenschaften und komplexen Konturen Funktionen...
Over time, the costs associated with machining the cast-iron switch cover eroded manufacturing margins. The decision was then made to zinc die cast the cover. Zinc had the density and weight Conntrol International specified, and it provided better fit, better quality...
Particularly complex part due to realisation off-mould of 6 seatings of bushes of Ø 8 mm/0.31 inches, with diametral tolerance of ± 0.015 mm without additional machining. Complex shapes allowing the integration of various functions (motor bracket, axle housings, input...
Mosaic mimic panels form a display system that provides an overall picture of complex operations and gives technicians the ability to monitor and control events. The system’s main advantage is its modular design, providing flexibility for easy modification and...
Due to its realiability it allows the mounting of a precision bearing of an air turbine with a bevel gear. Allows the plastic overcoating Strength with precise shapes and thread with repetion at each production.
This zinc alloy part is designed to raise the global quality perception of the final product. The dimensional precision of the process for the fine fitting of different sub assemblies and the long life of the mould and tooling for large production series led the...
This HSD connector (HSD = high speed data) is a part of the control units in upper segment cars. The 4-pin connector assures large volume of data transfer as compared to the standard connector with only 1 pin. The required tolerances for this miniature part are...
A worm/helical gear set operates the linkage attached to the roof window frame. Originally, the helical gears were machined from brass, reinforced with a formed steel insert and installed with a plastic washer/spacer. The assembled gear’s cost became a factor...
To meet market requirements, Medeco wanted to develop a new high security lock priced just below its top-of-the-line dropbolt lock. The high-end lock model is all brass. The housing cover is investment cast and the thumbturn is a machined extrusion. As other processes...
Warner Gear’s 4WD locking hub takes advantage of ZA-8’s net shape castability, creep resistance and excellent finishing characteristics to provide a highly functional and aesthetic cover. ZA-8 alloy was chosen because it handles temperatures close to 200...
The Champion Series IV grader incorporates ZA-12 alloy low-speed, high load bearing to improve operation performance. Front Axle Bearings — This bearing application materialised as a replacement for the grader’s front axle needle bearings. The needle...
Product realised for a top quality, guaranteed for life hacksaw. Zinc alloys satisfy the surface coating for the aspect and the mechanical resistance required for the handle and saw blade guide, with the process economy for a high quality product on a competitive...
Part realized in large production volumes. Easy assembly with complex shapes, competing with pressed steel sheet. Zinc Castings’ superior thermal conductivity permits faster and greater heat dissipation provided by thinner radiating fins, complementing the...
The rigidity of the part ensures the quality of retro-vision due to the absorption of the vibrations compared to engineering plastics. Note the (omega) shape for the rigidity of the assembly. Rigidity inside the envelope (volume) and reduced width of the assembly,...
Zinc die casting was chosen to reduce cost of an antenna base for mobile radio equipment, which originally a brass screw-machined part. Powder metallurgy was evaluated, but couldn’t achieve the required undercuts without machining. Zamak 2 alloy was specified to...
The part is machined on guiding bores and references faces. Dimensional stability within time, realization of complex shapes, rigidity of the assembly, zinc alloys substituting machined steel.
The goal of product designers for the 1/4 in. air ratchet was to lower product manufacturing costs while improving performance and appearance. The original product design specified an axial assembly–a machined steel head attached by a lock nut to a housing...
The part is required to withstand mechanical strongh, precision in the bearing housing. Precision, Mechanical resistance and reliabilities Precision, Mechanical resistance, reliability.
When the AKZO Salt Company had problems getting roof-bolt wedge anchors from its malleable-iron foundry supplier, it opened the door for zinc alloy. Mine management set out to find an alternative source for these vital parts, but were unable to find another ferrous...
Originally safety belt retractor housings were plastic injection molded. The plastic housings were easily damaged causing retraction to malfunction. To meet performance standards zinc die casting was selected to produce the housing and meet performance and appearance...
