The Mando segmented mandrel fits with the company's three-jaw chuck to become a mandrel-in-the-chuck. This configuration enables users to change from inside to outside clamping without taking the jaw chuck off the machine.
Useful for workpieces with a short clamping length, the product features a segmented bushing made of chrome/nickel case-hardened steel. After separation, the clamp...

The chemistry of peroxide vulcanization.
Rubber World
; Peroxides are commonly used as an alternative to sulfur in the vulcanization of elastomers and plastics. Although peroxides and sulfur can both cure most types of rubber, the chemistry behind their crosslinking effect and the properties that they provide to the cured elastomer are very different.
