The design requirements for the assembly’s 10-in.-long housing called for non-tapered walls in the meter chamber, allowing free rotation of the metering gears and zero draft in the valve area. Previous designs utilized two aluminum castings requiring secondary...

The main feature of this lock design is that the handle is cast with a cylindrical shaped wall, but it is then post formed to a spherical shape. If the Alloy 3 used for this casting did not have high ductility, the final shape could not be achieved and the pressure...

Field problems with a gear-driven lead screw assembly prompted the company’s engineers to re-evaluate the design. The gear drive comprised a steel screw-machined shaft and a plastic gear. Assembly required the plastic gear to be pressed onto the shaft. Failures...

The laser photocoagulator is used in the treatment of eye disease, particularly the treatment of broken blood vessels within the eye. Such a sensitive – and expensive – high-tech tool needs a housing which, besides its functional qualities of soundness, strength, and...

Complexity of the shapes allows for the integration of multiple positions. The non-magnetic character of the zinc alloys compared to the plastics work in favor of the design’s long term dimensional stability and reliability.
