Tanged inserts

Alongside tangless inserts, ASM Fasteners has added the full range of Tanged inserts and tooling into its portfolio. Lightweight materials are essential for aerospace and other high performance applications. A tapped thread in these materials can be stripped or damaged on a single use turning a potentially expensive component to scrap.  Drilling and tapping a screw thread insert thread allows a KATO CoilThread insert to be installed, which will create a permanent, wear-resistant thread that exceeds the strength of most parent materials.

Retaining rings

Retaining rings

New from TFC, the leading European supplier of Smalley Spirolox retaining rings, snap rings and wave springs is the metric Hoopster retaining ring series. The new metric range complements our existing imperial series but has been designed to suit specific standard metric bore and shaft sizes. Hoopster retaining rings offer an innovative way to retain mechanical components when radial space is a particular problem. The Hoopster's minimal radial projection and shallow groove depth allows it to fit where standard circlips and retaining rings cannot.

A revolution cold bonding on conveyors

A revolution cold bonding on conveyors

Increased reliability and safety despite simplified application is promised by the new adhesive Conti Secur Premium, which is used for a variety of different cold bondings on conveyor belts. As it only has a single component instead of the usual two, it is ready for immediate use and guarantees a long service life. "In heavy industry applications, we normally use two-component adhesives," explains Wolfgang Kerwel, application engineer at the ContiTech Conveyor Belt Group. "Conti Secur Premium is an innovative new product that requires just one component."

Opportunities in energy

Opportunities in energy

Almost every country in the world is interested in environmentally friendly design and energy efficiency as when it comes to saving money nothing beats reducing energy use and using renewables, and most countries, like most people, want to save money. The UK Energy Secretary Ed Davey recently said that even a 10 per cent reduction of energy use in 2030 will mean five million tonnes of carbon dioxide is saved and £4billion is cut from bills. Alongside this the aim is for renewable energy to deliver between 30 and 45 per cent of the UK's energy by 2030.
