7 criteria to prevent material fatigue

Image
Material fatigue is defined as an accumulating degradation of material caused by dynamic stress with amplitude below the tensile strength limit. From the practical perspective we can divide the fatigue into two groups:  low-cycle fatigue with number of cycles up to 104 and amplitude of stress above the yield point, where plastic deformation predominates  high-cycle fatigue with number of cycles more than 104 and amplitude of stress, usually way below the yield point, where elastic deformation predominates Low-cycle fatigue is not important for a design of the joint. During the low-cycle fatigue process, stress amplitudes usually exceed the yield point. Fasteners shouldn´t even reach this value of stress. On the other hand, we should be aware of the high-cycle fatigue! Designers of a fastened joint should always consider the influence of high-cycle fatigue when dynamic forces are expected!  On the figure typical example of dynamic loading cycle can be seen. The most important variab

ecosyn®-fix and the Electronics Industry

Image
At Bossard , simpler is often better. Our goal is to streamline your processes and offer more efficient products, and the ecosyn®-fix screw is a perfect example.  This particular fastener was originally designed specifically for joints in electrical equipment, in addition to small and major appliances. For the purposes of this blog post, let’s focus on how the ecosyn®-fix screw can be beneficial to the electronics industry.  What is the biggest benefit of the ecosyn®-fix washer head screw?   Just a single part has to be bought, stocked, transported, and assembled. This is a screw, a flat washer, and a lock washer all in one. This one screw can streamline your process and provide a more economical solution.  Your standard machine screw with large washers has nothing on the ecosyn®-fix.  Did we also mention the large conical washer surface?  This area possesses a certain spring effect against loss of pre-load. With an increase in friction, there is a greater vibration resistance. This

Lower Your Total Cost of Ownership with SmartLabel Cloud

Image
Logistics is the key to ensuring things are where they need to be when you need them the most. Otherwise, everything comes to an abrupt halt. When referring to manufacturing processes, logistics can greatly impact the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).  The SmartLabel Cloud system does its best to ensure the Total Cost of Ownership is as low as possible to increase profit margins and productivity alike. How the SmartLabel Cloud System Works During the daily production cycle, your workers and inventory staff have a good idea of which materials are on hand versus how many are needed to continue work unabated. Whether the supply is a range of fasteners that you could order by the thousands or very large pieces that you order in much smaller quantities, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) makes it possible to automate the entire system and greatly improve workplace efficiency while lowering the Total Cost of Ownership .  When a worker or inventory specialist sees a particular item is ru

  What are the products Bossard has supplied as part of your collaboration with Beyond Gravity and how have they been used? Jürgen Eixler:  "We have delivered more than one million parts to  Beyond Gravity  and we also help project development with our logistics systems and engineering services. Bossard does not only deliver standard parts, such as screws, nuts, and different materials, we also supply a lot of  bespoke articles,  which are specially produced for Beyond Gravity. This is mostly done in collaboration with Beyond Gravity, who sends us a design of a certain part and we aim to optimise this part with the manufacturer. In the end, our customer gets the part they are looking for, thanks to our high-quality requirements. Every product is important in the Beyond Gravity projects, as each item must be able to fulfil specific requirements in order to play its part in each mission being a success. One such product are special pins – ball lock pins – which are used in all the p

Multifunctional Fasteners for Industrial Robots

Image
Industrial robots are often deployed to handle heavy workloads, e.g. in the assembly process or during handling, palletizing, spraying and welding. Fasteners for such robots must be vibration-resistant, provide high durability, reliable quality and high corrosion resistance. In the realm of industrial automation, robots have become indispensable assets, especially when it comes to handling heavy workloads in tasks such as assembly, palletizing, spraying, and welding. These robots are designed to streamline processes, boost efficiency, and ensure precision. However, the backbone of these mechanical marvels often goes unnoticed - the multifunctional fasteners that keep them together. In this blog, we will delve into the significance of high-performance fasteners, exploring their critical role in providing vibration resistance, durability, quality, and corrosion resistance.  Multifunctional Fasteners for Industrial Robots  Wedge-locking fasteners:  Enhancing Stability and Reliability  One
