Indexa Die Springs

The heat and surface treatment plus the high quality of steel used in the manufacturing process ensure the springs will bear a high number of stresses without breaking or without appreciable loss of load. Every batch of springs is subject to a rigorous testing procedure to ensure that a consistent quality is maintained. Longer springs should be guided along their course.

Precision Ground Flat Stock (18")

The dimensional stability of ground flat stock combines with other useful characteristics including excellent resistance to cracking during heat treatment compared with other, more highly alloyed, cold work tools. Relatively soft and easy to machine. High wear resistance after heat treatment. Holds a good cutting edge. Suitable for EDM machining.
Typical applications: widely used in precision tools, machine knives, gauges, jigs, templates, punches, dies and machine parts.
The Cost Cutting Stock: extensive range of widths and thicknesses enables the selection of an appropriate size of ground flat stock to minimise material and machining costs.

Vertical Industrial Toggle Clamps

Designed to improve performance in fabrication and engineering clamping applications. The rapid clamping/unclamping made possible by the use of toggle clamps can greatly reduce machine/operator 'down-time' during all stages of production. Clamping Capacity - the forces stated are the maximum loads that can be applied without causing permanent deformation. Due to leverage ratios, the holding capacity will be greatest at the point on the bar nearest to the handle of the clamp and forces stated have been achieved at this point.

Silver Steel

For tool room and general engineering. Applications include screwdrivers, punches, shafts, axles, pinions, pins, die posts, instrument parts, model parts, taps and drills for mild steel, engraver tools. High carbon content means that it can be hardened to give high wear resistance and chromium content adds strength and hardness.

Manufactured from
BS1407:1970 grade steel.

Typical hardness:
207-237HB with 285HB maximum.

Tensile strength:
45/55 T.P.S.I. (700/850 N/mm2).

Surface finish:
Better than 0.6 microns (25 micro inch) CLA (Centre Line Average).

Chemical analysis range:
Carbon 0.95 - 1.25%
Silicon 0.40% max
Manganese 0.25 - 0.45%
