ADVERTORIALS Clip-on style gasket profiles from EMKA
for specialist enclosures and vehicles EMKA focus carefully on each aspect of industrial enclosure hardware design – nowhere more so than in the production of gasket sections for the exclusion of fingers, tools, dust and water. Often recognised as “P” type or “bubble” gaskets EMKA sections are a simple push-fit onto the frame edge of an enclosure or vehicle body and are available with factory joined corners that provide complete integrity around the door periphery while saving time in assembly at the factory. EMKA Clip-on gaskets include a spring steel spine within the moulding to provide a
strong fixing to the frame edge of the enclosure or larger cabinet. Being firmly held in place a clip-on gasket can provide a very effective and long-lived seal up to IP65.

NSK Silver-Lube® bearings withstand
wash-down fluids on bottling line conveyor In operations where contact with process fluid is unavoidable, poorly specified bearings that fail prematurely can prove costly in maintenance labour and production downtime. For this reason, increasing numbers of food and beverage plants are turning to the beneficial attributes of NSK’s Silver-Lube® bearing units. Silver-Lube® provides optimal protection against the ingress of wash-down water and detergent while simultaneously ensuring corrosion resistance. Among those testifying to the advantages of Silver-Lube® is a market-leading milk
processing and bottling plant. The facility was experiencing repeated bearing failures on five conveyor lines, where the company was changing bearings approximately every 16 weeks. With every replacement taking approximately one hour to complete, the plant invited NSK’s team of experts to recommend a solution. As part of its AIP Added Value Programme, NSK’s specialist engineers analysed the failed
bearings, concluding that the ingress of water during the wash-down process was causing internal corrosion and premature failures. Further review of the application and operating conditions led the NSK team to recommend its proven Silver-Lube® housed bearing units. The plant commenced a trial of Silver-Lube® bearings featuring food-grade grease on
one of its bottling line conveyors, a solution that resulted in an immediate improvement and significant lifetime extension. Silver-Lube® features durable and heat-resistant silicon rubber seals that protect
Neat, high-quality ABS enclosures easily punched or drilled to suit different applications – BCL’s multipurpose T and
HBT Range boxes with lids Black, light grey and white, plus 200 RAL colours; matt and polished finishes; six sizes
BCL Enclosures’ T and HBT Range of small multipurpose boxes with lids are moulded in ABS for maximum strength, yet can easily be punched or drilled to suit different applications. These high-quality, professional-looking box enclosures are available from stock in three standard colours - black, white or light grey - plus a large range of other RAL colours that can be supplied on request. The T1-26, HBT3 and HBT4 boxes are matt finish in all three colours, whereas the T2, T3 and T4 models have a polished finish. Lids are retained by four countersunk, self-tapping screws.
There are six different multipurpose boxes in the T and HBT range: T1-26 measures
40mm x 28mm x 18mm with a nominal wall thickness of 1.0mm; HBT3 is 73.5mm x 51mm x 25.5mm with nominal wall thickness of 1.75mm; T2 measures 75mm x 56mm x 25mm with a nominal wall thickness of 1.5mm; T3 is 75mm x 51mm x 27mm with a nominal wall thickness of 1.5mm; T4 is 111mm x 57mm x 22mm with a nominal wall thickness of 2.0mm; HBT4 measures 113mm x 59mm x 24mm with a nominal wall thickness of 1.75mm.
BCL’s customization services include drilling or punching of custom cut-outs to suit
individual applications plus alternative materials. Advice on specification and customization is readily available from experienced staff in the company’s UK offices.

against fluid penetration and prevent washout of the lubricating grease. Complementing the seal is a stainless steel flinger, which prevents the ingress of bacteria and helps the seal to resist impact damage. Silver-Lube® bearings also comprise numerous corrosion- resistant components, including inserts with high-grade stainless steel rings and balls, cage, flingers, and set screws. Furthermore, the bearing insert sits within a high-strength PBT thermoplastic housing featuring a stainless steel grease nipple.

High precision servo press
range extended A new top-end addition to the RARUK Automation aiPRESS range of IEF Werner electric servo presses extends the force capacity of the series to 100 kN. In common with its forerunners, the aiPRESS 100 automatically combines precision positioning with high accuracy force measurement. It’s ideal for high precision joining and a wide variety of forming applications, typically the joining/assembly of bearings and bushings and the forming/upsetting of connecting elements and shafts. With a weight of around 650kg, this heavier duty model is able to press larger
components with a workspace of 350mm at a force up to 100kN and a repeat accuracy of a few microns or ≤ 0.003 mm. Key to its precision is a fixed and torsion-resistant steel C- frame for maximum rigidity.
