JAKOB Antriebstechnik says the clamping nuts of the MCA-S and MCA-T series are an advancement of the proven MCA series. To enhance user-friendliness, the traditional hexagon design has been supplemented with a star or T-handle, allowing for easy operation by hand without additional tools. Significant clamping force can be effortlessly applied thanks to the integrated planetary gear system.

Southco has expanded its successful line of friction hinges with a low profile version that enables reliable position control in limited space applications. The ST-20L constant torque embedded hinge offers a new solution for mounting small lids and display screens that need to be lifted and held securely in place, at any angle.

Spiralock from Zygology is an Optia anti-vibration technology. By adding a 30 degree wedge ramp at the root of the internal thread, Spiralock has designed a simple yet effective way to transform a traditional threaded joint into a safer and more reliable element.

FDB Panel Fittings now offers these small lift-off enclosure hinges ex-stock at its Online store with sales partner Enclosure Solutions.

In thousands of applications, structural adhesives are being used as a viable alternative to mechanical connections: screws, rivets, or spot welds. Here Peter Swanson, founder and executive chair of adhesives specialist Intertronics, weighs up mechanical bonding versus adhesive bonding, and gives some advice for designing in an adhesive.

It is a truism of hardware design that often a standard offering is not suitable, and where the application warrants then a custom design is needed. To meet these needs EMKA offers modifications to its standard portfolio or indeed completely original designs.

Almir Jakupovic, sales director at norelem, discusses how modular clamping systems are revolutionising precision in metrology, providing engineers with an adaptable, efficient and sustainable solution to meet the demands of high-precision industries.

Southco's new AC-50 Squeeze Handle Actuator features a dual cable pull system, enabling greater freedom in actuator positioning and secure multi-point latching on larger panels. This gives end users an ergonomic operating experience without compromising security.

Patrick Faulkner, lead engineer at Accu, looks at why understanding surface roughness is essential for manufacturers and engineers - not only to ensure functionality but also to optimise the longevity and reliability of the final product.
