Series GN 853 (steel) and GN 853-NI (stainless steel) Latch-Type Toggle Clamps with Locking Mechanism are available in metric sizes. These RoHS-compliant latch clamps feature a locking mechanism that prevents the inadvertent or vibration-induced opening of the clamp. Another benefit of this design is the ability to operate the clamp with one hand. Two versions…
Tips on waterproofing components in harsh environments
By Andrew Weiman, Managing Partner Engineering and Commercialization, Bresslergroup Three key steps will ensure components are properly sealed against liquids. Engineering products for use in harsh environments is both an art and a science. Though conceptually simple, the challenges of sealing tend to surprise and frustrate those without experience and continually challenge even experienced designers.…
Carbon-Graphites for Mechanical Applications
By Joe Boylan, Morgan AM&T The inherent porosity of carbon-graphites can be filled with a variety of impregnants to enhance chemical, mechanical and tribological properties. The terms carbon and graphite are often used interchangeably. This is unfortunate, as each form of the carbon element offers specific properties that can be used to benefit different types…
Innovative V-Band Clamp Nut Keeps Turbochargers Sealed
V-Band Clamps encounter many extremes. When it comes to turbochargers, which are increasingly used in light trucks and cars to deliver the power of a V8 engine in a V6, the clamps seal off hot exhaust, forcing compressed air into the intake. The result is lighter vehicles and better fuel economy. But component temperatures around…
Seals for natural gas applications
Range of UL listed sealing compounds suit natural gas applications. These seals have low extraction characteristics, low compression set, and low temperature capabilities. The rubber compounds designed specifically for natural gas and liquid propylene applications range from NBR, HNBR and Fluorocarbons, with temperatures ranging from -60°C to 105°C, with multiple additional end uses. Apple Rubber…
Optically clear adhesives
Loctite® Liquid Optically Clear Adhesives (LOCA) improve the viewing experience, increase display durability, extend product life, reduce power consumption and enable thinner device designs. New dual cure technologies allow full cure in shadowed areas, and offer reduced shrinkage to control display distortion and eliminate mura. When used on AR glass, these products increase the contrast…
Eliminate the Cause of Threaded Fastener Failure
By Doug Lescarbeau, Loctite Brand Anaerobic Technology Director, Henkel Corporation With more than 300 billion fasteners used in the U.S. every year, it is critical that they never fail in service. The latest threadlocking adhesives defy the root causes of fastener failure and are designed to ensure that threaded fasteners remain secure and sealed for…
