Bathroom faucet – Delta Faucet
The Delta Faucet’s construction is known as shell technology. It features a die-cast zinc cover, or escutcheon, over a brazed copper and brass assembly. The thin zinc cover is much more uniform than brass; it provides near net shape die casting with tolerances of...
Central Console
Utilizing zinc alloys to create this part allowed for outstanding control of each step and parameter involved in the full process, from design to final part to achieve, to achieve the perfect design. With die casting, the same surface quality and appearance could be...
Connector for Radio AM/FM Signal
The part has the following attributes: One of this part’s highlights is its functionality—it allows one single part in Zamak for electrical connection (interface) and mechanical (coding + retention). It also has a connector function, which allows for the transmission...
Connector Housing – Berg Electronics MICROPAX ™ connectors
MICROPAX connectors have very demanding specifications which are met by zinc die casting, including: Complex design requirements to accommodate a variety of connectors, ranging from 40 to 200 connecting pins; flatness across the mounting plane within +/- 0.005 in, and...
Copper Cable Connectors
Zinc die casting was chosen to produce this new generation of cable connectors. Critical standards that were met include wall strength to assure durability and to withstand bulk processing and proper matching of draft allowances on the internal surfaces for smooth...
Gear Knob AMG (Mercedes)
This casting part was originally produced in die cast aluminum. It could be produced only with disproportionate effort and high scrap rates. The parting plane in the casting could never reach the surface quality standards because at that position was a vacuum...
Handle and Backplate
Pictured is one model of a range of decorative door handles. Zinc is used for the design because of its ability to easily take a plated finish and because it can be cast to accurate dimensions.
High Tension Cage
This part is a device component warranting the operators security during intervention on high-tension lines. The reasons behind choosing zinc alloy include the product’s complex tool design, the combination of thin wall casting and rigidity, and the dimensional...
Housing Cover and Thumbturn – Medeco STEELGUARD(tm) Lock
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...
LEO Easy Opener
This design opener can open all kind of bottles without any damage and with very little effort. With its innovative patented mechanism, this tool won the Bundespreis 2016 award in Germany. ZP5 was chosen over other materials for its excellent surface finish, strength,...
Lockable Door Knob – Model 930
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...
Locking Hub
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 degrees F, a...
Microwave Guides (5 configurations)
Wave guides are built to exacting specifications in dimensional accuracy, straightness, and flatness. Hot chamber die casting enables critical cavity sections to be cast with little or no draft; very difficult in aluminium cold chamber die casting. Flatness tolerance...
Remote Control
This high-end remote control’s design has tactile control without any knobs. The zamak surface was cast to a thickness of 0.6mm with less than 0.05mm tolerance on thickness. Piezo elements translate the bending of the surface into electric signals. For casting this...
Thermostate Valve Housing
Special features of this die cast product include precise dimensions that ensure a perfect fit around the circumference of the housing, making it water-resistant so that the internal components are protected. The tool design allows for uniform filling and casting with...
