Dansk Sintermetal Highlights Sintering at Subcon

Dansk Sintermetal offers sintered parts in smaller series for a range of industries, such as automotive, door-lock producers and producers of pneumatic and electrical hand tools, clutches and brakes. Other industries benefitting from sintered parts from Dansk Sintermetal include welding equipment and gas equipment.

With the use of conventional powder compaction, the company offers parts produced according to customer specifications in iron, steel, stainless steel, different copper-based alloys and soft magnetic composites (SMC). The metal powder is compacted under very high pressure in a tool. After this, the parts are sintered (heat treated) in a belt conveyor furnace at a temperature below the melting point of the base material. During the sintering process the parts obtain the mechanical properties.

After the parts have been sintered, they can either be ready to use, or secondary operations such as sizing (re-pressing), turning, drilling, threading, deburring, and so on can be carried out in the same way as on massive materials. Heat treatment or surface treatment of the sintered parts can also be offered. Dansk Sintermetal said the advantages by using the sintering technology is that you have very little material waste as well as having the possibility to produce high-quality, complex parts in an economical way.

To meet the uncertainty when taking the first step in thinking of converting an existing part into a sinter part or for use during new development projects, Dansk Sintermetal offers sintered blanks or machined prototypes in various sintered materials. Therefore, the customer has the possibility to test geometry and mechanical properties before actually investing in a tool.

At Subcon on 7-9 June 2011, Dansk Sintermetal will send a free sintered blank after the exhibition to all customers who hand over a business card at the company's stand. This allows customers to machine a part from sintered material and carry out pre-tests for evaluation.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa...

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin...

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
