The planetary gear is a type of gearing system to lower the speed of a rotating shaft. A planetary gear system consists of three main components: a sun gear, several planet gears, and a ring gear. The position of the sun gear is in the middle of the gearing system. The planet gears are distributed
Exhaust sensors are becoming more popular in modern vehicles. Today’s modern automobiles have hi-tech systems that depend on the data coming from various sensors. These sensors help to find out what the idle conditions are for engine efficiency, emissions, and fuel consumption. Among those sensors, the exhaust sensor is one of the most important components
ASCO Sintering Company was formed by Robert St. Clair in 1946 as a distribution company for self-lubricating bearings produced by companies such as Keystone Carbon and Boundbrook. The company later developed a niche, by machining and turning standard bearings to produce components for special applications, which in turn led to the installation of presses for
Economic mass production of precision parts Powder metallurgy is a well-established mass production method for structural parts, bearings, filters, tool parts, magnets, friction materials, contact elements and components from refractory metals. Its basic steps are powder· production, mixing, molding into shapes, and sintering. Optional manufacturing steps like sizing, coining, repressing and resintering, forging, or metal
Hi-Impac, a P/M (Powdered Metal) material and process that produces powder metal parts with significantly better properties than those obtained with conventional high strength P/M. The part shown above was originally made from P/M infiltrated steel (FX- 2008-n When tensile tested by gripping the ends and pulling in the opposite directions, as shown in the
Diverse range of industries are using Hydraulic quick couplings, including construction, agriculture, food and chemical processing, forestry, etc. These hydraulic couplings are specially designed for high-pressure hydraulic operations to reduce pressure drop across the hydraulic connection. It provides the most convenient way to continuously connect and disconnect hydraulic fluid lines. The couplings also ensure that
In today’s competitive market, the world’s global sources are in search of metal parts and components with the lowest possible prices. In the conventional manufacturing process, it is not possible to produce net shape or near-net shape parts without additional multi-level machining. But, Powder Metallurgy (PM) is a superior manufacturing method that aims initial production
ASCO Sintering Co., one of the leading powdered metal manufacturers around the world, produces structural parts of superior mechanical properties. ASCO maintains precise process control, Six Sigma quality control methodology, and a closed-loop feedback system to produce high-quality powdered metal sintered parts and components. parts are manufactured by compacting and forming from brass powder. Several
From one simple misalignment problem in an industry, the research started which leads to a brilliant solution of manufacturing powder metal couplings. Over the years, this problem brought a revolutionary change in the field of mechanical engineering. Now, in present era metal couplings are used to connect two shafts together at their ends in order
Main part made at ASCO Sintering are iron powdered metal parts we would like to share some science behind the scenes: Iron(Fe), a Block D element that is recognized by its atomic number 26, has a relative isotopic mass of 55.845, a melting point, and a boiling point of 1538 degrees Celsius and 2861 degrees
