Tooling
Totally
re-engineered concepts have resulted in a unique mandrel design
capable of meeting a wide range of industry needs.
The cornerstone
of this new mandrel is its revolutionary segment and cam assemblies.
During expansion, the segments remain parallel to the axis of the
tube, minimizing bending stress. The result is greater strength,
longer life, less leakage, and reduced tube marking when compared
to existing products.
Significant
improvement in performance of our cams and segments along with
ultra high strength alloys are ideal for high pressure applications.
Features
| • |
Interchangability with existing
tooling eliminates the need to scrap current mandrels and shafts. |
| • |
Expansion of a wider tube I.D. variation
jumps traditional size gaps. |
| • |
Fast and easy band and segment replacement
increases efficiency and ease of use. |
| • |
Standard sizes for tubes from ½" O.D.
through 2½" O.D. |
Expansion
Segments
 |
Static Condition: When
in a relaxed (static) state, the beveled cams fit snugly against
the segment assemblies. Since there is no force applied,
the segments remain firmly in place. |
 |
Loaded Condition: Once hydraulic pressure
is applied to the mandrel, the beveled cams are forced toward each
other. As the cams move, the individual segments are forced
symmetrically outward, held togeter by the band. |
