TENIR COMPTE DE L'EXPANSION ET CONTRACTION THERMIQUE LORS DE L'USINAGE DU NYLON Thomas Cipriani – Product Specialist at Robco Lorsque l'on travaille avec du nylon, nous devons comprendre qu'il réagit aux fluctuations de température. La meilleure procédure à suivre lors de l’usinage du nylon en usine est de le découper à une température d’environ 24°C; si nous ne le faisons pas, nous risquons d'avoir des problèmes dimensionnels après coup. Le nylon étant un plastique thermique, il se dilate lorsqu'il est soumis à des températures plus élevées et se contracte à des températures plus basses.  Toujours prendre la température d'installation en considération.  Voici une formule de travail pour vous aider lorsque vous souhaitez usiner des pièces à base de nylon: Voici quelques exemples: > A) Exemple d'expansion: En installant à 78°F, la température maximale de fonctionnement peut atteindre 150°F et la pièce mesure 120" de long 150° - 78° = 72° de change...

TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE THERMAL EXPANSION & CONTRACTION WHEN MACHINING NYLON Thomas Cipriani – Product Specialist at Robco When working with Nylon material, we must understand that it reacts to temperature fluctuation. The best procedure to follow when machining Nylon at the factory is to cut it to size at a temperature of about 75°F; if we don't, then we risk having dimensional issues later on. Nylon is a thermal plastic, hence it will expand when subjected to high temperatures and contract at low temperatures. Always take into account the installation temperature. Here is a working formula to help you when machining Nylon based parts: Here are some examples: >A) Expansion Example: Installing at 78°F the maximum operating temperature can reach 150°F and the piece is 120” long: 150° - 78° = 72° temperature change 72 x 120 x .00005 = .432” expansion >B) Contraction Example: Installing at 78°F the lowest operating temperature could reach -200°F and the piece is 120” long: 7...

Both strong with low water absorption and good electrical insulation.  FR-4 (or FR4) is a NEMA grade designation for glass-reinforced epoxy laminate material. FR-4 is a composite material composed of woven fiberglass cloth with an epoxy resin binder that is flame resistant (self-extinguishing). "FR" stands for flame retardant, and does not denote that the material complies with the standard UL94V-0 unless testing is performed to UL 94, Vertical Flame testing in Section 8 at a compliant lab. The designation FR-4 was created by NEMA in 1968. FR-4 glass epoxy is a popular and versatile high-pressure thermoset plastic laminate grade with good strength to weight ratios. With near zero water absorption, FR-4 is most commonly used as an electrical insulator possessing considerable mechanical strength. The material is known to retain its high mechanical values and electrical insulating qualities in both dry and humid conditions.  Meets MIL-I-24768/27. G-10 is a high-pressure fibr...
