RUBY/SAPPHIRE BALLS FOR LASERS
A family of 99.9 percent alumina oxide ruby/sapphire balls is
designed for use in optical and light refractive applications
such as lasers.
Available in precision grades up to Grade 10, the balls are comparable
in hardness to alumina ceramic. Features include anti-corrosion
properties, high surface smoothness, thermal stability, chemical
inertness, and lubrication-free operation. A variety of colors
is available.
ALUMINUM QUICK-DISCONNECT COUPLINGS
Quick-disconnect FL Series couplings deliver high flow and low
pressure drop in a compact package.
Designed to replace cumbersome ball and sleeve couplings, the
units perform the same job with half the weight and require less
force to connect and disconnect. Both 3/8 and 5/8 in. nominal
flow capacities are available with hard anodized aluminum construction,
fluorocarbon seals, and stainless springs. The units tolerate
operating pressures up to 80 psi or 5.5bar and operating temperatures
up to 300°F.
CORROSION-RESISTANT CERAMICS
AmAlOx alumina, AmZirOx 86 yttria-stabilized zirconia, and ZTA-96
zirconia-toughened alumina ceramics offer engineers cost-effective
alternatives to conventional engineering materials.
The alumina ceramic exhibits good wear and corrosion-resistant
properties, and the zirconia alumina materials offer strength
and toughness. AmAlOx components are suitable for applications
in virtually every major industry including chemical process equipment,
paper product, aerospace, and robotics. AmZirOx 86 and ZTA-96
absorb the energy created by stress that would cause fracture
in most advanced ceramics.
CUSTOM PVC PLASTICS PRODUCTION
Custom plastic production from initial product planning and design
to production of the finished piece provides a single source for
customer plastic need at an economical price.
From concept to completion, the service offers an array of capabilities
including horizontal injection molding, sheet and profile extrusion,
coextrusion, and vacuum forming. An experienced engineering department
provides product conceptualization and development assistance
with technical expertise and state-of-the-art computer-aided drafting.
The large staff can meet the needs of any size project with one-on-one
service.
INDUSTRIAL DISPENSE PUMPS
IDS 2000 industrial dispense pumps dispense and meter fluids used
in chemical, electronics, battery, metal finishing, and other
industrial process environments requiring maintenance-free, precision
fluid control.
The integrated pump and electronics are housed in a rugged stainless
steel enclosure designed for wall mounting in process areas. The
electronics feature precision stepper motor control, multiple
dispense and continuous modes, indicator lights, and PLC interface.
The patented CeramPump valveless design with only one moving part,
a single rotating and reciprocating piston made of dimensionally
stable chemically resistant ceramics, eliminates valves that can
clog, fatigue, and fail.
SELF-CLINCHING DOG POINT STUDS
PEM Type HFED self-clinching dog point studs allow high-strength
attachment of steel or aluminum sheets as thin as 0.04 in/1 mm.
These threaded steel studs are designed to install more quickly
and economically than weld studs. The enlarged head diameter projects
above the sheet material and distributes axial tightening force
over a large area for better pull-through resistance. The dog
point feature ensures quick nut positioning and assembly while
protecting first threads from damage. Unified and metric thread
sizes #10-32, º-20, and 5/16-18 and M5, M6, and M8 are available
in lengths of 0.5-2 in. and 20-30 mm.
