Methods for Making Aluminum Hardware Brackets
Methods for Making Aluminum Hardware Brackets. Hardware brackets are produced and used in many industries today, which is why it is a very important component that should be made and processed properly and correctly. Aluminum brackets are made as parts for lighting fixtures, automobiles, and even in construction because its main purpose is to keep all the parts stable, steady, and as much as possible, long lasting. Before, manufacturers would use steel to make these hardware brackets and would have to weld the pieces together. But these welded pieces become weak overtime, which makes it expensive, time-consuming, and you’d have to exert a lot of effort just to maintain it.
This is why many manufacturers now see the advantages they get when they use aluminum die castings to make their hardware brackets. Die casting involves a process of forcing molten metal under high pressure to be able to produce complex yet more tolerable molds to create parts and housings for different things such as military weapons and lighting fixtures. When making hardware brackets, manufacturers would create them using the process of aluminum die casting, afterwards shaping it easily into parts that they know would make it sturdier, more long-lasting, and of course cost-efficient as compared to steel.

The Advantages of Aluminum Hardware Brackets over Plastic
Advantages of Aluminum Hardware Brackets over Plastic:
- Plastic is an insulator, while aluminum is electrically conductive. Plastic will need a special coating to achieve a similar result with aluminum (albeit inferior).
- Plastic does not ground, thus it requires extra grounding metal straps. Aluminum, being a metal, is easily grounded.
- Aluminum has a natural shield against RF and EMI, preventing radio frequency. Plastic does not block radio frequency.
- Aluminum brackets are much stronger than plastic injection moldings.
- Aluminum metal is stiff, while plastic injection moldings are too elastic for numerous applications.
- Plastic molded parts do not do well for chrome plating.
- Plastic can not obstruct electromagnetic emissions.
- Plastic does not do well with many coatings, while aluminum brackets do better on the department.
- Aluminum parts are stable, whereas plastic injection parts are not quite dimensionally stable.
- Plastic molded parts do not do well in conditions of hot and humid temperatures. Aluminum hardware is more heat resistant.
- One big problem with plastic is that they are not recyclable. Only less than 3% of the plastic will be recyclable. Nearly all metals, aluminum die castings in particular, are always readily recyclable.
- Aluminum die castings are non-hazardous and pose no problems to the government.

Bracket Hardware – how they are made
Bracket Hardware – how they are made. Aluminum Brackets Hardware is used in the process of building houses and other structures. Mainly, these brackets are used to keep things in place during the construction phase when some parts or beams should not move. This part is also used in making chocolate fountains and lighting fixtures to hold the other parts together during the construction process so that it ends up perfectly in place. There are many uses for the Aluminum Die Casting Brackets Hardware which is why it needs to be produced fast and cheap and not only that, it is required to be very strong. This is why aluminum is used in making this bracket because aluminum isn’t only abundant, it is considered to be stronger than steel and lighter as well.
Because Aluminum Brackets Hardware is made through a process known as die casting, it becomes even stronger than steel brackets. The latter is made in pieces and assembled by welding them together. In die casting, there is no need to weld the pieces. This process starts with melting the aluminium bar into liquid. Once the metal is liquefied, it can be placed in large molds so that it will take on a new shape, in this case the shape of a bracket. When it cools down overtime, the result is a single piece of bracket and not several pieces that need to be weld together as welding points can create weak spots.
Aluminum Brackets Hardware is an integral part of construction and the manufacturer needs to be able to trust this part. With the die casting process, the manufacturer will be able to rely on it a hundred percent.

Get absolute support from aluminum brackets hardware
Get absolute support from aluminum brackets hardware. Structural integrity is a foremost consideration among architects and engineers in constructing homes and buildings. Aluminum brackets hardware has therefore become a major component in the construction of houses, buildings and other structures. Through the metallurgical process of die casting, the advantages of constructing with aluminum materials have been brought to the fore, leading to the development of various types of brackets such as the multi-purpose servo bracket and angle bracket.
Construction cost can be considerably reduced using aluminum brackets hardware which is cheaper to mass-produce through die-casting. This process involves pouring molten aluminum into molds that could be designed into specifically designed shapes or cavities. Holes for instance could be designed into the die casts so that machining cost for brackets is done away with.
As important, aluminum brackets hardware could even be manufactured stronger than steel brackets. Strengthening ribs and radii can be designed into the aluminum die casts resulting in stronger brackets. Pieces need not be joined together as in die casting the aluminum brackets hardware are already produced in net shapes, doing away with welding of parts which could fail with the passage of years. The load factor is also enhanced with aluminum brackets as these are lighter than steel.
This light weight yet sturdy characteristic of aluminum has been put to advantage in the aircraft industry. For instance, the Boeing 747-700 airplanes employ die cast aluminum brackets hardware in their seat back tray tables, providing absolute support to passengers’ in-flight meals or laptop computers of itinerant business executives.

Parker Hannifin: Parker Actuators Now Available with Standard Gearhead Options
Irwin, PA, July 20, 2009 – Parker’s Electromechanical Automation Division, a leading supplier of motion control technology, announces that its Bayside brand of Gen II gearheads are now available as a standard option on its Daedal brand of HPLA and HLE positioners.
After achieving more than one million cycles under thorough, rigorous testing conditions, Parker’s PS, PV and PX gearheads are now standard options on the Daedal HPLA and HLE series of belt-driven positioners. The highest-quality solution is now available as a standard configurable part number within each product of the belt drive series.
Parker Hannifin die casting parts.
This new option means shorter lead times, fewer components, Brackets, and less complexity (since there’s no need for additional bearing supports for the motor pulley).
“With the Parker Bayside gearheads now included in the HPLA configurable, the lead time for a total Parker solution has decreased significantly,” says Ben Furnish, product manager for Daedal’s linear products. “It also makes for a lower-cost solution. The Gen II gearheads are strong enough for direct-drive, unsupported pulleys, which reduces the overall system price.”
The HPLA can move loads 50 meters, while the HLE actuator has a 20-meter range. Both the HPLA and HLE actuators handle speeds up 5 meters per second, loads to 1,600 kg and generate up to 5,500 N of thrust force.
Additional HPLA/HLE features include:
· Nominal drive torque up to 244Nm
· Repeatability up to ± 0.05mm
· High degree of mechanical efficiency
· Independent multiple carriages can be used on one linear actuator for rack-and-pinion drive
Bayside’s Gen II PS, PV and PX gearheads feature high torque, high efficiency and quiet operation.
