Full-hex inserts

MaxTite blind threaded steel inserts feature a torque-resisting profile, according to the company, with a full-hex body and thick head and heavy wall sections. Used for blind attachment applications, inserts install sheet, panel, and closed-end structures as low as 0.10 inch thick. They serve as an alternative to tapped holes, rivets, weld nuts, and self-tapping screws. Atlas Engineering, www.atlas-eng.com. Enter 623

Label holder

This label holder has a patent-pending living hinge that swings up and then back in place for easy access, clear label presentation, and fewer cases of torn containers on soft packages. Made with a tight frictioned fit, the holder may be used with glass or wire shelves, as in a bakery department. Trion Industries, www.trionind.com. Enter 624

Clamp

The Adelok self-restraining loop clamp comes in different elastomers and contours for applications with power cables, wire bundles, and fluid lines. A heel lock keeps the clamp closed and in place during installation. Interchangeable with M85052 and MS21919 designs, it has a payload range of 0.062 inch to 3.5 inches and meets TSO requirements for airline applications. Adel Wiggins, www.adelwiggins.com. Enter 625

Adhesive dispenser

Intended to improve fluid control, the MicroPen™ reportedly reduces waste in critical assembly processes. According to the company, a timed-pulse dispenser creates microdeposits as small as 0.004 inch in diameter. A 0.25-cc capacity disposable reservoir tip allows 2-part epoxies, UV-cures, and other adhesives to be mixed and consumed before pot life expiration. Reservoir tips are silicone free and made to resist 280 to 390-nm wavelengths. EFD Inc., www.efd-inc.com. Enter 626

Epoxy

Epocast® 1633-A/B epoxy is purportedly halogen free and self extinguishing for edge filling and fastener reinforcing use in aerospace honeycomb-composite structures. With a resin to hardener mix ratio of 2:1, the epoxy is suitable for automated meter/mix dispensing for large potting applications. Dual-barrel cartridges in 50- and 200-ml sizes are used to minimize time and material waste for small potting projects. Vantico Inc., www.vantico.com. Enter 627
