Top Plate: High Grade HE9 CNC Machined Aluminium Top Plate

• High Grade HE9 Aluminium: The top plate is made from HE9 aluminum, a high-performance alloy known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. This specific grade of aluminum is often chosen for applications where strength, durability, and corrosion resistance are crucial. It’s an aircraft-grade material, meaning it is specifically engineered to provide superior performance under both mechanical stress and environmental challenges like moisture or exposure to harsh conditions.

  The aluminum alloy offers good thermal conductivity and can withstand a wide range of temperatures without degrading. This makes it ideal for applications where thermal management or structural integrity is important, such as in mechanical or industrial environments.

• CNC Machined: The top plate is CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machined, which means it is precisely manufactured using advanced, computer-controlled tools. CNC machining allows for extremely accurate shaping of the aluminum, ensuring that the top plate has perfect dimensions, tight tolerances, and smooth finishes. This precision is crucial in ensuring that the top plate fits seamlessly with other components and functions reliably. CNC machining also provides consistency, meaning every part produced will be virtually identical.

Base Plate: High Grade HE9 CNC Machined Aluminium Base Plate

• High Grade HE9 Aluminium: Like the top plate, the base plate is also crafted from HE9 aluminum, ensuring consistency in material quality between the two components. This use of the same high-grade material throughout the assembly maintains uniform strength and performance properties, contributing to the overall durability and reliability of the final product.

• CNC Machined: The CNC machining of the base plate, just like the top plate, guarantees precision and consistency. The base plate may undergo additional shaping or finishing processes depending on its specific function, ensuring it supports the assembly with strength, stability, and an ideal fit with other parts.

Screw: Stainless Steel Dom Allen Screw with Spring Washers/Lock Tite Solution

• Stainless Steel: The screws used are made from stainless steel, which is chosen for its strength, corrosion resistance, and durability. Stainless steel fasteners resist rust, tarnishing, and degradation, making them ideal for use in environments exposed to moisture or fluctuating temperatures. They also maintain their structural integrity over time, ensuring that the assembly remains secure under stress.

• Dom Allen Screw: The Dom Allen screw (often referred to as a hex socket screw) is characterized by its hexagonal indentation on the top, which allows it to be tightened or loosened using an Allen wrench. This design is beneficial for applications where a more secure, tamper-resistant fastening method is required. The hex socket also allows for more torque to be applied compared to traditional screws with slotted or Phillips heads, resulting in a tighter and more durable connection.

• Spring Washers: Spring washers (also called split washers) are placed alongside the screw to ensure that the connection stays tight over time. They work by exerting a constant pressure on the screw, preventing it from loosening due to vibrations, thermal expansion, or other mechanical stresses. This feature is particularly important in environments where parts experience dynamic forces or where safety and performance depend on secure fastening.

• Lock Tite Solution: Loctite is a type of thread-locking adhesive that is applied to the threads of the screw. It helps to prevent the screw from loosening over time, especially in situations where there are high levels of vibration, temperature changes, or other dynamic forces. The Lock Tite adhesive forms a bond between the threads of the screw and the material it is fastened to, making it more resistant to loosening and ensuring a secure, permanent connection. Loctite also acts as a barrier against moisture and corrosion, which further extends the life of the fastener.
