Zu cohesive Connections include soldering and welding. the form-fitting Connection technology can be B. using screws (form fit through thread) and rivets. Screws (positive locking through self-locking) count at the same time non-positive Connection technology, which also includes clamps or wedges. We report on numerous mechanical fasteners or components for connections or attachments in mechanical engineering applications. Electrical connectors like Connectors or clamps, see Electrical Engineering.

Connection technology for special industries

The following new developments were made for special Industries like Technical Building Services, Medical Technology, food technology, Microsystems Technology, Mobile Machinery  

  • Food producers have so far often been skeptical about the use of connectors in sensitive areas. They fear that the outlines of interfaces will break through the easy-to-clean, smooth surfaces. But you need them in the product-related area for cleaning. Harting has developed a special connector for such applications. The Han F+B withstands intensive cleaning. 
  • Tractors, combine harvesters and seed drills are at the mercy of wind, weather and dirt every day. Damage or signs of wear and tear are therefore inevitable, often have to be repaired directly on the field and often with a variety of challenges. Reliable, mobile and versatile welding systems are an important support in this case. Fronius offers for...
  • The "Compact" connection terminal of the 221 series from Wago stands for fast, simple and safe wiring in classic electrical installations in buildings. Product managers, designers and developers at device manufacturers are now increasingly discovering the advantages of this terminal with a lever – from component manufacture to equipment production and device connection to the end product....
  • Rampf Production Systems has developed a fully automated gluing system for external vehicle parts such as side walls, rear spoilers, tailgates and spoiler lips. The combination of innovative mixing and dosing technology, automation and robotics maximizes the precision, speed and flexibility of the manufacturing processes.

Connection technology for machines and systems

A classic area of ​​application for the connection technology is the Engineering. While the focus used to be more on connections between metallic materials, these are now being partially replaced by plastics. These make their own demands on the connection technology and can be joined together using laser welding, for example. Read below what's new, whether detachable or non-detachable - a secure hold is guaranteed in any case!

Kipp0117Heinrich Kipp Werk is expanding its range to include practical locking elements that connect two separate plates with a defined force. Secure and complete clamping is achieved with just one movement. With new rotary tension bolts and ball lock pins, the manufacturer is adding several locking options to the existing range.  
delo0115Stainless steel is difficult to glue, but permanent glue connections are often only possible with pretreatment. Delo and the Institute for Production Technology and Materials Testing at the Ulm University of Applied Sciences have now found that stainless steel bonds are almost as durable after intensive laser pretreatment as after the Saco process.

viscotec1118With the viscosity-independent dispensers from Viscotec, which are all based on the endless piston principle, highly viscous materials can be dosed reliably and precisely. They offer shear-sensitive and high-precision material handling.

After successfully setting up his e-shop, he is building Connection Technology Expert MBO Osswald its online product range. There is also one Eyebolt according to DIN 444 form B. Spring clip similar to DIN 11024 and a Axial joint with sealing cap. This gives users additional design options.

delo0219Delo has a potting compound developed which has a very high media and temperature resistance. In addition, “Monopox GE6515” accelerates manufacturing processes thanks to its optimized curing time. The product is particularly suitable for potting electronic components for automotive applications.

Components can be quickly fixed and connected with the ball lock pins from Heinrich Kipp Werk. Two new designs with head locking now enable connections over large distances, while the steplessly adjustable ball lock pins are designed for varying component thicknesses.

mboAngle joints according to DIN 71802 serve as connecting and guide elements for moving parts and create corner connections. These standard parts are not always sufficient for the construction, especially when the power transmission is to take place linearly. Specially designed for this application, the axial joint from MBO Oßwald represents a special solution in the field of angle joints according to DIN 71802.

boellhoff1019Böllhoff presents the next development stage of its "Helicoil" thread technology. The “Helicoil Smart” combines the functions of “Helicoil Plus” and “Helicoil Tangfree”. The thread is colored blue and provided with a pin that does not have to be broken. The installation spindle bends it back when it is spindled and then compresses it. There is no need for tang breakage or removal. This thread insert made of rhombic profiled wire is also formed into a springy helix and, as a free-running variant, has a turn by turn freely running standard thread. 

weco0719Weco manufactures PCB terminals with overlong, angled or double solder pins. Produced at the headquarters in Hanau, the pens can be applied to a straight or angled surface. This guarantees an optimal casting of boards with components without any restrictions. The products that are used in heating technology, for example, offer a wide range of variants.

Designers can now at Misumi Dowel pins and straight pins configure according to more than 30 different DIN and ISO standards. In the online shop, in addition to various types of cylindrical pins and dowel pins, slotted pins, spiral shaped pins, taper pins and grooved pins are also available. In addition to standard parts from our own production and from Reyher and Ganter, the portfolio also includes precisely configurable ones Make-to-order (MTO) components.

Interfacial moisture can cause problems when glued outdoors or in damp environments. Of the Industry association adhesives (IVK) uses a model from nature or bionics dass adhesives and moisture can also harmonize well with one another. They orientate themselves on that Principle of spider webs. Spiders hold their prey in their webs, even when the humidity is high or it is even raining.

CMCPolyester film has been used as an insulating material in electrical engineering for more than 40 years. The material thicknesses range from around 4 µm to areas of almost 1 mm. Most of the standard insulating tapes from CMC Klebetechnik are based on polyester films with appropriate adhesive coatings. The expensive polymide has so far been used as a film with a higher thermal load capacity. Adhesive tapes based on PEN film are now closing the gap between these two materials.
