Machined springs overcome wound limitations
For those engineers familiar with the traditional wound spring format, Abssac is offering a new way of looking at reliability, performance and attachment by use of a machined spring.
Electrodeposited metal bellows come to the UK
Abssac now supports the full range of unique electrodeposited metal bellows and electroformed products available from the Servometer Corp as its newly appointed sole UK distributor.
Each size of fastener has its own "installation kit" comprising collar and screw, and all fastener materials including aluminium, steel and stainless steel can be accommodated.
Supplied partly assembled in a clear plastic two-part box measuring only 140 x 50mm square, the tool can be fully assembled and installation kit attached in less than 30 seconds.
When assembled, the tool (excluding installation kit) measures a maximum of only 130 x 150mm.
The action of the tool is "spin/spin" and the user simply attaches the correct screw to the end of the spindle, inserts it into the barrel, tightens the plastic nut into the barrel, connects the outer collar and the tool is ready to use.
If extra torque is needed over and above that offered by the knurled knob to install the rivet nut or stud, there is a 10mm hex drive protruding from the knurled knob to which a standard open ended or ring spanner can be attached.
MEMFast stocks and sells a comprehensive range of rivet nuts and manufactures its own rivet studs.
These products are complemented by other fastener products including: rubber nuts, screw anchors, screws and turned parts to customers' drawings.
