Spring clamp fixture holds small electronic components in a desired position while they are being soldered on a circuit board. The spring clamp is clipped on the edge of the circuit board and an adjustable spring-steel boom holds components against the board. The felt pad at the end of the boom is replaced with different attachments for other holding tasks.
Cylindrical chamber, consisting of two matching halves, forms a vacuum test fixture for measuring leakage rates of individual connections, brazed joints, and entrance ports used in closed fluid flow line systems. Once the chamber has been sufficiently evacuated, atmospheric pressure holds the two halves together.
Circular fixture which mounts several specimens within a single turret prevents specimen smearing during grinding and polishing operations performed on a vibratory lapping machine. Each specimen is loaded individually with a weight small enough to prevent smearing but large enough to promote polishing.
Mathematical design parameter analysis for ultraviolet density sensor calibration fixture
Holding fixture that holds the thread gage and three wires in the proper relationship facilitates the measurement of the pitch diameter of the tapered threads of a pipe thread gage. Modified, this device can be used to hold involute spur gears.
Portable fixture facilitates pressure testing to detect possible leaks in instrumentation fittings mounted on tank bulkheads. It uses a vacuum cup which seals a pressure regulator adapter around one side of the fitting to be pressure tested. Leakage is detected with a gas sniffer.
Fixture facilitates inspection testing of circumferential pipe welds for vacuum tightness, using helium gas as a leakage tracer in conjunction with a mass spectrometer. It consists of a split rubber torus and a mating clamping ring with a vacuum hose fitting.
Slip table fixture design for cryogenic and vibration testing of liquid oxygen prevalve and flow meter
Test fixture has the capability of producing biaxial stress fields in test specimens to the point of failure. It determines biaxial stress by dividing the applied load by the net cross section. With modification it can evaluate materials, design concepts, and production hardware at cryogenic temperatures.
Soldering fixture, designed for printed circuit cards, is a basic bench-mounted, self-contained integral unit combining all soldering needs into a compact, readily available work station. All tools, materials, and accessories are available to provide an ideal station to perform critical soldering.
Effects of fixture stress vibration on mounted accelerometer signal
Ring accelerometer errors from stresses developed by fixture vibrations
Commercially available roller type desk pad provides an efficient and orderly manner of handling rolled paper tapes for proofreading. The fixture, which is modified to accept Flex-O-Writer or similar tapes and roll them in either direction, reduces the chance of damaging or soiling the tapes through repeated handling.
Fixture for simultaneously supporting several components for electrical testing
Vibration test fixture design for mount impedance simulation of aerospace structures
Modified die set improves accuracy in load application, minimizes problems of parallelism, and eliminates testing errors normally encountered during flexure tests. Test results are given for a comparison test of the old and new fixtures.
Fixture supports flat conductor cables /FCC/ while providing electrical contact to stripped ends of cable during electroplating process. Cable is held in the form of a coil.
