A more powerful stopper cylinder

A more powerful stopper cylinder

Festo has launched the DFSP, a reliable, robust and cost-effective series of stopper cylinders which the company says are the most powerful cylinders of their type in the market. This new cylinder can withstand up to 200% more impact force than its predecessors, meaning that engineers can now benefit from a more powerful stopper but at an affordable price.

Coiled spring pin product selection considerations

Coiled spring pin product selection considerations

Invented by Spirol in 1948, the coiled spring pin was specifically designed to address deficiencies associated with conventional methods of fastening such as threaded fasteners, rivets and other types of pins subject to lateral forces. Easily recognised by their unique 2.25 coil cross section, coiled pins are retained by radial tension when installed into the host component, and they are the only pins with uniform strength and flexibility after insertion.

Free analysis service proves a boon for design engineers

Free analysis service proves a boon for design engineers

Where optimal joint strength is the main requirement, heat shrink bonding is a great solution. The heat in the assembly helps to create a rapid cure and the contraction of the outer component exerts a compressive load on the curing adhesive. The result is a total strength far in excess of the adhesive shear strength and the dry interference strength combined.

Threadlockers drive specialty vehicle innovation

Threadlockers drive specialty vehicle innovation

In automotive applications there is no margin for error – every part must do its job. This is why Local Motors uses LOCTITE threadlockers for two very different applications: the Rally Fighter, a high performance, off-road racing car; and Strati, a 3D printed, electrically powered road car with just 49 parts.
