Bei diesem Bauteil für pneumatische Wartungseinheiten ist das Stanzen und Räumen in den Gießzyklus integriert ist. das Gussteil überzeugt durch die ausgezeichnete Gussqualität bei geringsten Wanddicken. Hervorzuheben ist auch die anspruchsvolle Gießtechnik mit hoher...
ln this example, a ball bearing housing which is die cast in alloy Z410 (equivalent to BS 1004B) is attached to a thin continuously electrogalvanized steel sheet pressing. Studs – integral rivets – are cast into the housing. After the steel pressing is located, the...
This single zinc die casting replaced an assembly of stainless steel components. By use of a single casting, rigidity was greatly improved and dimensional precision between critical dimensions was made more reliable. Zinc die casting permitted the required dimensional...
Cost savings were the initial reason for converting a number of steel stampings into this single zinc die casting. The surface flatness and dimensional precision between features such as fixing studs was greatly improved, this permitted more reliable assembly of...
For this design, a series of machined stainless steel air valve spacers were replaced with zinc die castings. Because of the spacer’s large flow areas, engineered plastics do not have the required strength to maintain shape and rigidity. Die cast ZA-8 was chosen for...
This is an excellent alternative to engineering plastics, aluminium or milled – sintered steel for the realization of driving gears for toothed belts (electronics) or pinion engagement (building, mechanical, precision hardware). Off-tool net shape thin wall zinc die...
Its strength, tolerance for accurate detailing, non-corrosive properties compared to aluminium, and production speeds (faster than plastic) made die cast zinc the obvious solution when it came to the manufacture of Unicast’s “Ezi – Fill” fuel dispenser. Manufactured...
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 Control International specified, and it provided better fit, quality, and...
The high dimensional tolerances possible with zinc die casting permitted precise and reliable seating of 6 bushings, diameter 8 mm/0.31 inches, with a diametral tolerance of ± 0.015 mm without additional machining. The complex shapes achievable in zinc die casting...
For this part, zinc was an excellent substitute for brass. Key benefits include: No secondary operation: screw thread directly as cast. Redesigned concept: switching from machined part to casting technology. Split core technology.
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...
Originally, the housing and base plate frame were sand cast aluminium and finish machined. Machining and assembly time took 3.5 hours per unit. During a redesign, the company set about to reduce costs without sacrificing quality or performance. This led to graphite...
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.
The aluminium structural beam must strongly fostered with water proofing to avoid penetration from the rain or washing water. The geometric position must be sound, and operating live must be assured.
This part is a modular base plate working in a pneumatic environment. Its function is to transport air between an air distributor and a jack. Modular base plates are made of pressure die cast Zamak 5 (ZA4UIG). The excellent fluidity of zinc alloys provides a surface...
The anti-magnetic character of the zinc alloys combined with the economic advantages of the production process win over the press formed steel sheet and aluminium profiles.
Die PC-Gehäuse Bauteile mussten vielfältige Anforderungen erfüllen: Neben Robustheit beim Handling in industrieller Umgebung und einer hochwertigen Optik zählten eine optimale Wärmeabfuhr und abschirmende Eigenschaften zu den Kriterien, die letztlich für Zink als...
A newly designed air preparation system utilizes zinc die casting for the major components of the Quickclamp(TM) assembly (as well as the bodies, bowls, and accessory parts of the filters, regulators and lubricators). Die cast zinc provides greater strength than...
Zinc’s excellent bearing properties at high loads and low speeds permitted it to be used for this part without the use of pressed-in bronze bearings, reducing cost. The required dimensional precision and high required strengths also made zinc die casting the preferred...
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 they were unable to find another...
Die casting the three components in ZA-27 alloy offers attractive aesthetics and a near-net shape, which eliminates machining costs. In addition, ZA-27 alloy provides good wear and bearing characteristics.
A dollar bill changer incorporated top and bottom sensor plates fabricated from welded stamped components. The weldments could not hold tolerances greater than +/- 0.020 in. In an effort to resolve dimensional instability and fit problems, the manufacturer, working...
Two M4 threads were needed on this zinc die casting in Z410 alloy (equivalent to BS 1004B). Because the holes were at 90° and in different planes, the threading could not be carried out in a single operation. By comparison with two separate threading operations, it...
