Anti-rotation
latch is sealed to IP65
The IP65 CSMT-A T handle latch
from Elesa incorporates an antirotational
device which prevents the
handle and the closing lever from
rotating accidentally. The design
counteracts the forces generated
through vibration or buffeting and is
especially suited to use on cabinets
and access doors where this may be
an issue.
Operation is simple – unlocking
by normal key followed by pulling
and turning the T handle to release
the sprung interlock. Turning the
handle back into the closed/locked
position automatically engages the
anti-rotation mechanism and the
handle may be locked again. Elesa
offers a selection of enclosure
hinges, tubular handles and
other cabinet accessories.

Moulded inserts
join standard range
A range of inserts from Spirol
Industries is intended for use as a
placement in a mould prior to plastic
injection. The Series 41 and 45
Inserts can be used in applications
where torque and pull-out/through
resistance are required. They feature
an hexagonal head on each end
and a large centre undercut, with
this design providing a high level of
bi-directional torque resistance and
high tensile strength.
The Series 41 is a through hole
moulded-in insert and Spirol Series
45 a blind-end moulded-in insert.
They do not require any specialised
insertion tools as the operator places
the insert directly into the mould
prior to plastic injection. In addition,
the company has designed this
insert to simplify orientation and
placement on to the mould core pin,
thereby increasing productivity and
reducing potential scrap rates.

Adhesive application expert
Rheological has launched a product
to complement its existing range of
industrial hot melt guns. Being all
electric, the MS200 does not require
compressed air to operate. It has a
250ml pre-melt chamber that can
process hot melts in the form of
granules, pillows and 43mm slugs.
Because there is a reservoir of
molten glue, more can be applied at
one time. Another advantage of the
system is that more specific grades
of hot melt are available in granular
and pillow form and they are far
cheaper than buying preformed
slugs or sticks.
The company tell us that the gun
is a lightweight ergonomically
designed unit, which is easy to handle
and safe to operate. An important
feature allows the operator to
adjust the resistance on the trigger
and the rate of flow from the nozzle
thus eliminating any repetitive
strain injury or fatigue.
The base of the gun is fitted with
Vibration damping elements are a
mature and ubiquitous item – often
hidden away inside or under
engines, motors, fans or similar
equipment – so it’s good news when
a new supplier comes to the market.
Elesa claims market leadership in
the production of standard machine
parts from handles to handwheels
and is now offering a complete
range of damper and cushioning
elements with steel and stainless
steel base mounting.
The DVA range is formed in natural
rubber based on zinc/steel and
AISI 304 stainless mounts with
male or female attachments. The
products have been designed to
damp vibrations, shocks and noises
produced by moving bodies or
vibrating masses which can cause
malfunctioning and reduction of the
machine lifespan. The DVA range
will also protect adjacent equipment
from vibration pollution
and will also reduce its health
impact on operators.

Electrical hot melt gun
applies more
a magnet which
allows it to stand
upright on suitable
surfaces. There is also a wire stand
to support the gun when resting on
non-magnetic surfaces.
The gun is very powerful at 600
W giving a high melt rate and a
quick warm up time. Temperature
is thermostatically adjustable up to
200ºC making it suitable for all
types of hot melt apart from
polyamides.
Applications are envisaged to
be in packaging, product assembly
and in the potting of electrical
components.

Damping out harmful
noise and vibration
Essentially operating in compression
or shear, double ended
cylindrical units are often required
to carry heavy equipment loads
while on the other hand single
mounting buffers in pad or conical
format are ideal for absorbing energy
on impact during equipment
operation or perhaps door closure or
similar.
The DVA range is available in
black natural rubber to standard
hardness 55 Shore A, as well as 40
Shore A or 70 Shore A to custom
specifications.
