Automatic force wedge
The automatic force wedge shown is part of the additional locking devices of the mechanical-automatic door lock “Roto Safe A | Tandeo”. With this door lock, front doors can be locked automatically without using a key. In conjunction with an additional drive unit, the...
Cylinder housing shells and head cap for ABUS-ECO locking cylinders
Groß Druckguss GmbH received this award for the implementation of the housing shells and a head cap for ABUS-ECO locking cylinders. Products in the lock area are characterized by extremely low tolerance ranges and high accuracy of fit and precision. When manufacturing...
Frame Housing and Five Additional Mechanical Components
Key material requirements for the office bundling machine are hardness and strength, the ability to hold good tolerances, and lubricity. ZA-27 was selected as the die casting material because of its hardness, strength, dimensional stability, and natural lubricity. By...
Gear Housing
Engineers decreased time-to-market by utilizing existing gear housing tooling to develop a higher load winch. Superwinch’s 1,500-lb. unit incorporated two 380 Aluminium die cast housings which functioned as rotating and stationary ring gears. By substituting ZA-27...
Hand Grinding Machine (Georges Renault)
Due to its reliability, zinc allows the mounting of a precision bearing of an air turbine with a bevel gear. It also allows the plastic over coating. Zinc fulfilled the requirements for this design, including strength with precise shapes and thread with repetition at...
Housing and Base Plate
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...
Low-Speed, High-Load Bearings
The Champion Series IV grader incorporates ZA-12 alloy low-speed, high load bearing to improve operation performance. This Front Axle Bearing application acts as a replacement for the grader’s front axle needle bearings. The original needle bearings performed well...
Reductor
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...
Strap Adapter, Entry Slide Mount, Belt Sheave
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.
