The MTL precision magnet tensioning brakes range comprises six basic models covering a variety of torques, loads, speeds and application configurations.
Coaxial screw rail saves space and cuts costs
Huco's new, integrated lead screw and rail system - Kerk 'S' Rail - is a boon for designers looking for space savings.
These latest additions to Huco's Servometer range are superior to wire mesh cylinders as they have a minimum of self inductance and insertion loss, extremely low DC resistance, a lifetime spring repeatability and require only moderate forces to ensure a contact between mating parts.
As they are seamless and non-porous, no dirt ingress can cause contamination in critical applications.
These bellows contacts are manufactured from electrodeposited nickel and gold plated to MIL standard to enhance their conductivity.
They are designed to be both flexible and dynamic and to provide a lifetime of reliable interconnection.
Fourteen models comprise the standard range with outside diameters and overall lengths ranging from.037 to.105 inches and.055 to.080 inches respectively.
Maximum compression stroke ranges from 0.12 to 0.15 inches.
The range provides life expectancy of 100 cycles to infinity.
If the standard range cannot meet specific requirements, Huco Engineering Components is also able to supply custom designed contacts.
Rated for a maximum current of 4 Amps, the Servometer contacts can be safely used in temperatures up to 110 C without any loss of spring quality.
There is no minus limit and indeed the manufacturer reports successful installations operating at temperatures as low as -160 C. Request a free brochure from Huco Dynatork ...
