Base Plate and Shaft Support
While competitive versions rely on plastic, the Morse Controls high-end pleasure boat mechanical steering control utilises ZA-8 alloy die casting for the Command 290 base plate and shaft support. ZA-8 alloy was chosen for two reasons: superior mechanical properties...
Closure ring overhead shower RAINFINITY
In the field of sanitary technology, extremely high demands are placed on the surface appearance, resistance and dimensional stability of the assemblies. A high standard of haptics conveys a high-quality feeling. With the casing of the Rainfinity overhead shower, the...
Control Boxes
The control boxes for Minn Kota electric motors went through several design phases before settling on zinc die casting as the material/process of choice. The boxes were originally sand cast aluminium and later die cast aluminium. Short tool life prompted engineers to...
Dental – Occlusal Bite Holder Block
The medical sector is a highly demanding, niche market. The main benefit of using zinc die casting for this product is the outstanding surface quality achieved.
Door closure system INSTINCT by MACO
Smart Home is becoming an increasingly important part of our daily lives. A large number of household appliances, from dishwashers to water purifiers, can now be operated via smartphones. Why not also window and door fittings? With the innovative, fully electronic...
End Cap for a Pneumatic Door Closer
Alloy 3 was chosen as the end cap material because of the ease with which it is processed. Both material and tooling cost are minimized, and the product can be made with existing expertise and plant equipment. Alloy 3 castings can be produced with high dimensional...
Fully casted fitting with thread for compressed air manifold
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.
Housing for KitchenAid Coffee Machine
The 9,5 kg zamak housing of this designer coffee machine is made from 8 zinc pressure die cast parts with weights between 2.2 kg and 75 g. The parts are powder coated. To avoid any bubbles during thermal curing of the paint, the parts are vacuum cast to avoid gas...
Peerless Pull-Out Faucet – Delta
Initially, the hub–two intersecting cylinders–was a brazed assembly. Cylinders were screw machined from solid brass. Operations included turning, drilling, internal milling, cut-off, and rolling of one cylinder end to accept a plastic transition piece. The redesigned...
Quickclamp Air Prep System – IMI Norgren
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...
Slave Lock Mechanism
The initial design brief for the slave lock was that it had to have suitable mechanical properties to meet security door standards, have minimum design complexity, and use the most logical material for its purpose. Initially a hybrid construction was considered, using...
Structural Components
The KitchenAid mixer utilizes zinc die castings for all of its structural components–the 4-1/2-quart pedestal model incorporates seven zinc castings, and the 5-quart bowl support model incorporates eight zinc castings. Zinc castings provide a number of design...
Top and bottom sensor plate – dollar bill changer
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...
Traffic Light Housing
Together, these two parts form a protective casing for the internal components of traffic lights. The material properties provide protection against vandalism and have much longer lifetimes than polymer materials. Due to thinner sections, they are also lighter than...
