Press-Fit technology offers an inherently steadfast, solder-free, lead-free, and mechanization-friendly method that brings both the high-current aptitudes and structure flexibility needed for a broad range of applications in a multitude of industries.
Currently, press-tit systems have increased its momentum for allowing new designs that show very reliable performance and advanced consistency than conventional solder joints, encouraging its growing implementation amongst manufacturers.
In manufacturing language, a Press Fit is also called an interference fit or the friction fit, and its role is the fastening of two components, which is attained by the normal force, friction, and cold soldering. This occurs when a shaft is introduced forcefully into a slightly smaller shack in another part, with the intrusion holding both components in place.
In this advanced world, Press-Fit technology is extensively used in the engineering of electronic and electromechanical parts. With the aid of Press-Fit technology, producers are allowed to generate highly reliable electromechanical interlocks without the help of solder. This is attained via the supplement of a specially-stamped terminal into a plated through-hole (PTH) of a printed circuit board (PCB).
Applications
The press-fitting pipe systems are used in several applications, from the passage of water to gases, even chemicals, and fire-extinguishing systems. These are highly applicable in almost all the industries, all the streets, buildings, and homes.
Benefits
The following are the reasons because of which the press-fit pipes are gaining more adoption everywhere.
- It eradicates the threat of dry joints, cracking, and other solder construction difficulties.
- It is a robust, solder-free, repeatable and has highly durable edges.
- It offers a supportable assembly method with integrated force-monitoring
- The Robotic Press-Fit assembly proceeds and provides consistent results.
- It features direct-contact interfaces with greater normal force.
- It has outstanding electrical and thermal transfer properties.
- It can withstand the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion mismatch forces between thermal cycling.
- It has a stronger current-carrying volume for power applications.
Types
The press-fitting pipe systems are made from different materials like copper, stainless steel, carbon, but they have two essential types. The M profile press fittings and V profile press fittings. Their only difference is its structure. The V press is advanced with a collar in it.
