Spiral retaining rings8508_610

* concealed fastening
* no assembly tooling

Benefits to the ID/OD lock include concealed fastening, no assembly tooling requirement, and a 360-degree rotational capacity. Spiral retaining rings can simultaneously operate in an internal and external groove. In this application, the ring is initially installed in the housing groove. When the mating component in the assembly is added, the ring compresses into the groove. The groove is deep enough for the ring's radial wall to fit into as the component slides into position. Finally, when the grooves meet, the ring snaps into the shaft groove (whose depth equals 1/2 the rings' radial wall) while still in the housing groove. Various sizes are available in carbon and stainless steel, with no tooling charges. Smalley Steel Ring Co, Wheeling, IL.


8508_624 Epoxy. Bond-It 7040 epoxy cures at room temperature. It withstands temperatures up to 400°F and maintains strength up to 5000 psi. It bonds to metals, plastics, glass, ceramics and dissimilar materials with good electrical and chemical resistance. Cotronics Corp, Brooklyn, NY.


8508_629 Hand knobs. An expanded line of stainless steel nine-lobed solid hand knobs were developed for the food industry and non-corrosive environments. Various bore-types, threads, and English or metric sizes are available. JW Winco Inc, New Berlin, WI.
8508_626 Wire saddles. The micro-wire saddle, side entry, blind-hole (MBHWSSE) series is available in different sizes to accommodate different bundles. The micro-size is designed for low-profile applications and mounting can be done on various materials. Richco Inc, Chicago, IL.
8508-611 Epoxy adhesives. Three of this company's products meet stringent NASA outgassing requirements. Epoxy 6202 is UV-curable, thermally conductive, 5200 cures at room temperature, and 5010 is fast-curing with a high glass transition temperature. appli-tec, Haverhill, MA.
8508_612 Self-locking fastener. Made of a polymer applied to internally or externally threaded parts, the Nytemp patch withstands temperatures up to 450°F and satisfies torque and vibration requirements of MIL-DTL-18240F. Nylok Fastener Corp, Macomb, MI.
8508_613 Fastening system. Small Diameter Huck-Spin fastening system eliminates pintail waste and the threat of corrosion to fracture surfaces. The key is the low-swage system which involves a swaging action between fastener collar and pin, so that there is no pintail and no exposed fracture surface. No torquing is needed and once the fastener is swaged on, permanent clamp is guaranteed at precise clamp values. Huck Fasteners, Waco, TX.
8508_614 Cable wrap. Spirally-cut UV-resistant Heli-Tube polyethylene cable wrap is offered in a 1.5-in. size that is designed for bundling, organizing and protecting large cable groups up to 10-in. OD outdoors. It can be installed with hand tools. MM Newman Corp, Marblehead, MA.
8508_623 Self-aligning nuts. Frequently used in assembly to solve mating-hole misalignment problems, these nuts assure the load path of the bolt is aligned with the nut. Various sizes, materials, and tensile strengths are available. SPS Technologies, Jenkintown, PA.
8508_615 Aliphatic TPU. Providing a clear, strong adhesive interlayer in multi-layer transparent laminations, aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane is optically clear, resists UV light and reliably bonds dissimilar substrates. Stevens Urethane, Holyoke, MA.
8508_616 Structural adhesives. A family of non-corrosive structural acrylic adhesives has been specifically formulated for sensitive copper or other electrically conductive surfaces. Permabond 581 and 681 are especially suited for bonding magnet and metal surfaces and set rapidly at room temperature. Permabond 581 no-mix is surface activated, whereas Permabond 681 is two-part 1:1 mixable, requiring no activator. National Starch & Chemical, Bridgewater, NJ.
