Capstan Retainer
Precision and strength are important design considerations for the minicartridge tape drive, and the capstan retainer is a good example. This part is actually two separate components cast together–a Torx head screw with an integral retainer sleeve. To produce the...
Central Support Unit
This part is a central support unit for mounting all optical, electrical, and mechanical components for the imaging plate technology in use in dentistry. In medical technology, die cast zinc has been used for many years; however, overall, this area of application is...
Doppelscharniergelenk
Doppelscharniergelenk “C-Hinge” als Türscharnier für Waschmaschine mit erweitertem Öffnungswinkel. Das bislang eingesetzte Stanzbiegeteil konnte durch das günstige Warmkammerverfahren wirtschaftlich darstellbar durch ein Zinkdruckgussteil ersetzt werden,...Doppelscharniergelenk
Doppelscharniergelenk “C-Hinge” als Türscharnier für Waschmaschine mit erweitertem Öffnungswinkel. Das bislang eingesetzte Stanzbiegeteil konnte durch das günstige Warmkammerverfahren wirtschaftlich darstellbar durch ein Zinkdruckgussteil ersetzt werden, welches bei...Einbaudose Speed TEC
Deutliche Kosteneinsparung durch Substitution einer nachträglichen mechanischen Bearbeitung. Process: Zwei im Bauteil innen liegende und um 110° zueinander versetzte Hinterscheidungen, die mit Hilfe zweier im Durchmesser 17 mm Formkern integrierten Schrägschieber...
Electronic Connector
The key benefits to this product’s design was a close cooperation between die caster and customer through a clipping system. It utilizes modern assembling technology, and because it does not involve a screw, creep is not a risk.
Foot Pedal Level
The lever was originally designed as a steel sand casting with machining operations to size the shaft, pivot hubs, and cable connection holes. The final operation was a zinc plating. After a value analysis of an all-metal foot pedal control system, the materials...
Heat Sink
Zinc die casting offers numerous advantages over aluminum extrusion in a number of heat sink applications. Die cast zinc heat sinks offer one-piece construction, increased design flexibility, and lower cost. One of the biggest advantages is that heat-dissipating fins...
Housing & Frame
The elements of this equipment (TYCAS) were created to detect the positions of approaching aircraft according to new security norms of the IATA. The process proved to be more economical compared to traditional machining despite limited series and to pressure die cast...
Housing, Plate, and Anvil
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.
Kameragehäuse für den Dentalbereich
Das Gussteil ist das Gehäuse einer Kamera, die im Mundinnenraum zum Einsatz kommt. Es zeichnet sich in Teilbereichen durch eine dünne Wandstärke aus. Die Oberfläche ist matt verchromt und laserbeschriftet. Sie weist einen Touch-free-Effekt auf – das heißt, im...
Lead Screw
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...
Lubrication Metering Assembly – Graco, Inc.
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...
Subframe and Carriage
The three parts of this design form a subassembly that measures the thickness of ophthalmic lenses before edging. The frame ensures the palpate lever guidance in the ophthalmic glass machine tool. Then, the glass is machined with the contour note during the palpate...
