Hi,
We did not have any concerns with the wear of the bronze bushings but at times the hinges were difficult to engage because of the misalignment of the holes between the two zinc castings. With the use of the dowel pins, we would eliminate this concern. the doors are not cycled to often and...
Hey John,
Ì have a test rig setup to check whether there will be any door sagging because of the wear in my zinc castings but I would like to know if there are other potential concerns that I should keep an eye on. With the removal of the bushings, there is a big potential of wear for my...
Hi all,
I am looking at removing the bronze bushings and the hinge pin altogether because of a cost reduction idea. also, with our current setup, the hinge pin is running through two zinc die cast parts. because of alignment issues, we found that there were some hinges which were more difficult...
My current setup uses a hinge pin made of hardened tool steel where we are using bronze bushings which are press-fit into a zinc casting(serves as a hinge). the other zinc casting is connected via the hinge pin and is bolted down.

well, the dowel pin that I am looking to use is made of hardened steel with a zinc coating for corrosion resistance. my main concern would be potential issues in the door sagging during repeated cycling as the dowel pins will be press fit into the hinges.
is anyone aware of someone using dowel...

Does anyone know if it would be an issue. The door for this apparatus will be...
