Let's talk someting about the copper nut

Today let us talk something about the copper nut. The definition of a copper nut is a nut made of copper (usually lead brass, such as H59, H62). The copper nuts we come into contact with daily are mainly hexagon nuts or other copper nuts that match the bolts.

So why use copper nuts in daily production activities? Because the copper screws and nuts has the advantages of not being easy to corrode, anti-corrosion, easy heat conduction and strong conductivity, it is usually used for rust prevention, high temperature, and electrical conductivity, making it suitable for use in environments such as faucets, valves, and electrical switches.

Another main use of copper nuts is injection molding, which is embedded in plastic parts after heating or directly injection molded.

Brass has better high-temperature properties. For example, if a copper nut is heated and inserted, the embedded copper nut can quickly heat up and speed up the work efficiency. Instead, the heated copper nut can be quickly converted into plastic parts, so that the plastic holes The surrounding area becomes soft, which is conducive to pressing into the hole; then, what will happen if the mold is used for injection? The melting of PA / NYLOY / PET is above 200 ° C. The temperature of the copper nut is rapidly increased after it is hot melted into the plastic part. After injection molding, the plastic body is rapidly cooled and hardened. What will it be? You must have guessed how clever, the result is the place where the copper nut comes in contact with the plastic parts. This injection molding uses copper nuts instead of steel nuts.

BUSHING BEARING FAQ

Bushing bearing is a cylindrical mechanical part sleeved on a rotating shaft and is an integral part of a sliding bearing. Generally speaking, the Bushing bearing and the bearing seat adopt an interference fit, while the Bushing bearing adopts a clearance fit.

Concept

Bushing bearing is on the propeller shaft or stern shaft. The bearing is a component that fixes and reduces the load friction coefficient during the mechanical transmission process.

The sleeve and bearing are the same in that both bear the load of the shaft.

The difference between the two is that the Bushing bearing is an integral structure, and the relative movement between the shaft and the Bushing bearing is relative when rotating; while the bearing is split, the relative movement of the inner and outer rings of the bearing is relative when rotating. But in essence, the sleeve is actually a type of sliding bearing.

The bearing bush is equivalent to the outer ring of a sliding bearing. The bushing is integral and moves relative to the shaft, while the bearing bush is divided into pieces and the relative shaft is rotated.

In the LEGO Mindstorms series and BioTrans RoSys series robot components, the sleeve refers to the silver-grey LEGO standard shaft holder, which is divided into two types: full sleeve and 1/2 sleeve.

2. Maintenance

Common causes of failure

During long-term operation of the Bushing bearing, the surface of the shaft journal is subject to the pressing force of the expansion sleeve and the compound mechanical force, which will cause its permanent deformation and the diameter may be reduced by 0.1mm ~ 0.3mm. As a result, the mechanical expansion and contraction force can’t reach the required contraction force, and there is a fitting gap between the Bushing bearing and the main shaft, which causes the wear of the Bushing bearing.

Latest fix

Due to the greater value of parts, traditional repair methods are more expensive. With the development of advanced technologies such as foreign polymer composites, some repair methods that are fast and low in cost are favored. This method has also been introduced in China. The more mature materials are Fu Shilan 2211F. The material has comprehensive mechanical properties, excellent adhesion and temperature and corrosion resistance unmatched by traditional methods. The maximum compressive strength can reach 1200kg / cm2. The adhesion (overlapping shear test) is 225 on a smooth steel surface. kg / cm2. Therefore, it can be used to repair the wear of large Bushing bearings. And the equipment does not need to be dismantled in a large area, which saves a lot of manpower and material resources for the enterprise.

3. brass bushing bearing process analysis

Part technology analysis

(1) Part material: 45# steel. Good machinability.

(2) Component surface: outer surface (Φ50, 35, 33), inner surface (Φ31.5, 20.5), hole, end surface, inner and outer step surface, inner and outer retraction sipe, inner and outer Chamfer.

(3) Analysis of main surface: Φ20.5 inner hole is not only the supporting surface for supporting other parts, but also the main reference plane of this part; Φ50 outer circle and its stepped surface are also used to support other parts.

(4) Main technical conditions: The coaxiality of the outer circle of Φ50 and the inner hole of Φ20.5 is controlled in the range of 0.03mm; the perpendicularity of the step surface and the inner hole of Φ20.5 is controlled in the dimensional tolerance of the inner hole of Φ44 in mm; Roughness Ra0.8μm; heat treatment hardness HRC50 ～ 55.

Part manufacturing process design

(1) Blank selection: According to the material of the part is 45 steel, the production type is medium batch production, the diameter of the part has a large difference, the part has a thin wall, low rigidity and easy deformation, and the processing precision is high. The part needs to be quenched. In terms of factors, choose between bar stock and die forging: die forging.

(2) Benchmark analysis: The main positioning benchmark should be Φ20.5 inner hole center

(3) Installation scheme: when processing the big end and the inner hole, the three-jaw chuck can be directly used for clamping; the rough end can be used with the large end of the reverse jaw clamp, and the semi-finish and finishing small end should be equipped with a mandrel. , Axial clamping workpiece with Φ20.5 hole positioning. When processing the hole, you can use the indexing head to install, lift the spindle by 90º, and use the direct indexing method to ensure the 3 × Φ6 even position on the circumference of the part. For the four screw vias on the big end, a special fixture is used for installation: the large end face and the Φ20.5 hole are used as the main positioning reference, the hole is prevented from turning, and the workpiece is clamped axially.

(4) Part surface processing method: Φ20.5 inner hole, precision grinding is used to achieve the accuracy and roughness requirements; the outer circle and its step surface are processed by grinding; the remaining turning surfaces are processed by semi-finishing to meet the processing requirements; Mill on.

(5) Heat treatment arrangement: Because the surface of the die forging has crust, it will accelerate tool wear and passivation. In order to improve the cutting processability, the blank is annealed after the forging to soften the crust; the final treatment of the part is quenching. The wall thickness of the parts is small and easily deformed. In addition, the high precision of the part processing is required. In order to control the quenching deformation as much as possible, the quenching and tempering treatment is arranged after the rough machining for pretreatment.

General purpose stainless steel parts material performance use summary

General purpose stainless steel parts performance use summary

Many variable factors indicate the characteristics of the corrosive medium, ie, the chemical and its concentration, atmospheric state, temperature, and time, so if the correct properties of the medium are not known, it is difficult to use materials and select materials. However, the following can be used as a guide.

Type 304

Widely used materials. It can withstand general rust in buildings, resists corrosion from food processing media (but can corrode at high temperatures containing concentrated acids and chlorides), and is resistant to organic compounds, dyes and a wide variety of inorganic compounds.

Type 304L

(low carbon) good nitric acid resistance, and durable medium temperature and concentration of sulfuric acid, widely used as liquid gas storage tanks, as low temperature equipment (304N), other consumer products, kitchen equipment, hospital equipment parts, transportation vehicles, wastewater Processing device.

316L type

It contains slightly more nickel than Type 304 and contains 2% to 3% of molybdenum. Corrosion resistance is better than Type 304, especially in chloride media that tend to cause pitting corrosion. Model 316 has been developed for use as a sulphite pulper because it is durable with sulfuric acid compounds. Moreover, its use has expanded to handle many chemicals in the processing industry. most our LED LIGHT METAL PARTS are use this material.

2020 Machining How we do it

Made in China is gradually upgrading, and Zhonglida Machinery is also participating in this wave. Gradually developed from several automatic lathes to now have 20 CNC machining centers, 30 automatic lathes, more than 20 auxiliary processing and testing equipment.

For products that are simple and cheap, people tend to buy them nearby or in their own country. Because long-distance transportation and product import both cost, if the product is cheap, the cost of transportation and import may have exceeded the price purchased nearby.

But why are more and more people importing machined hardware products from China? After several upgrades, Chinese industry has become one of the important members of global manufacturing. The reason why she can develop rapidly and continue to be inseparable from the increasingly perfect domestic supply chain system

Customers' needs often require multiple factories to collaborate, and even cross-industry cooperation to complete. If the customer needs to find the factory for each processing technology and find the appropriate assembly factory, it will take a lot of time, energy and cost. But if you find an experienced and powerful factory, it already has a perfect network of relationships, and cooperates with other supporting factories for many years to cooperate perfectly. This will save customers a lot of unnecessary costs.

Xiamen Zhonglida Machinery Co., Ltd. has been continuously screened since its establishment in 2005, and has already established a complete supporting supply chain system that has been subsequently processed. Able to provide customers with all services of finished hardware parts from raw materials to qualified products after understanding their needs. The steps are simplified as follows: make a request → confirm the drawing → confirm the sample → pay → receive the goods.

Strong processing equipment, processing capacity and perfect management system, after passing ISO9001: 2016 and TS16949 certification, we provide many large factories including but not limited to custom screws, custom nuts, various shafts, shaft sleeves, engine spools Electromagnetic parts, Cable Gland Adaptor and other OEM stainless steel, iron, copper, aluminum, carbon steel, low carbon steel and non-metal parts.

Affected by the new coronavirus epidemic prevention in 2020, the transportation of raw materials and the shipment of products are postponed. Facing a large backlog of orders. The company decided to urgently purchase a batch of new production equipment after February to resume production to increase production capacity and complete orders. Because after the epidemic is effectively controlled, customer demand for products will grow rapidly, and we need to be prepared.
