RHM System Enhances Flexibility Of Reaming

Kennametal has introduced the RHM modular reaming system, which enhances the flexibility of high-speed reaming. The RHM uses high-precision, interchangeable reamer heads with respective steel bodies. It reduces tool setup time and machine downtime. The heart of the system is the KST (Kennametal Short Taper) coupling system.

Similar to the KMTM system, the KST system provides simultaneous taper-face contact, resulting in less than three microns run-out and a rigid union. Two drive flats on the reamer shank and in the tool body foster symmetrical torque transmission for higher speeds and feeds. Two clamping options are available.

The radial clamping system makes for fast head changes inside the machine and provides quick and easy clamping.The axial clamping system is economical and features a differentially pitched clamping screw, which provides low actuating torque. It also consists of fewer parts. Both systems require minimal training to implement. Reamer heads are available in either straight-flute style for blind holes or helical-flute style for reaming through-holes.

They can be applied to both clamping versions. Thru-the-tool coolant is standard for both styles. Unequal flute-spacing reduces harmonics, providing a straighter hole and consistent diameters. Ground and lapped lead angles facilitate longer tool life and higher surface and hole quality. The reamers come tipped in either carbide or cermet.

Reamer heads are available in stock sizes ranging from 20 to 42mm (0.7874 to 1.6535in) diameter and as a custom solution tailored to customers' diameter and tolerance requirements. Tool bodies come in straight shank style, HSK style and SIF steerable adaptor style, available as three and five-times the diameter length versions, each covering a diameter range of reamer heads.

Han® HC 250 high current contact

A Powerful Solution HARTING has developed the new Han® HC 250high current connector as a powerful interface that impresses by requiring little space, transmitting high current intensities and allowing flexible configuration of the number of poles. The HC 250 one-pole crimp module can be connected in various frame geometries to produce the required number of poles in a compact space – and in the existing Han® HPR housing. Technical details: - Rated current 250 A at a rated voltage of 2000 V - Termination cross-sections are: 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 70 mm2 - Maximum four-pole interfaces in a size 24 B HPR housing, making it particularly suitable for motor connections - High quality plastic with good smoke and inflammability levels - Removal tool for simple installation and removal of the contacts and inserts - Confusion of a number of interfaces is reliably prevented by multiple coding options for the individual inserts The requirements in the railway industry are changing, as ...

EGCS-D0 Accelerometer Now Available in 10,000g Range

Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS) has recently redesigned the EGCS-D0 accelerometer to enable it to accurately and reliably measure up to ±10,000g. This rugged device is critically damped, which is the ideal mechanism to protect the accelerometer against ±20,000g impacts and prevent sensor ringing. The EGCS-D0 accelerometer is now available in ranges from ±5g to ±10,000g which makes it ideal for both critical low-g measurements and high-g impacts. These units feature a Wheatstone Bridge mV output with a standard compensated temperature range of 20ºC to 80ºC (other options available). The EGCS-D0 was specifically designed for impact and shock testing in auto safety, aerospace, military and civil engineering applications. Designed to be bolt-mounted, this device operates from 2-15Vdc excitation with electrical output ratiometric to voltage input. Optional triaxial mounting blocks (MTG-F4), signal conditioners (Model 101) and auto-zero inline amplifiers (Model 140) are avai...

Ilix Cermet Reamers Are Ideal For Dry Machining Engineers Cutting Tools, the UK agent for Ilix, has introduced Ilix solid-carbide and cermet reamers for the machining of hard metals. The machine reamers 6372C and 6323 allow the production of high-precision holes with good surface finish. Compared with HSS, the solid-carbide qualities enable the increase of cutting parameters and tool life. The quality of the reamers is said to guarantee high performance, even for hard metals with a resistance more than 1200N/mm2. The Ilix carbide 6372C range of hundredth reamers is from 0.98mm through to 12.05mm in increments of 0.01mm. The reamers are manufactured to a tolerance of +0.000 - +0.004mm. The cermet reamers 6323 have new cutting geometry developed by Ilix. These reamers are said to be ideal for steel machining, having high chemical stability during the cutting process. They offer good wear resistance due to the high hardness and have low material adhesion. The Ilix cermet reamer is said to...
