Rotor Clip, a New Jersey-based manufacturer of retaining rings, wave springs, and self-compensating hose clamps and supplier to aerospace, automotive, industrial, oil & gas, and medical industries, has purchased a complete batch carburizing and austempering line.
The full line consists of a UBQA (universal batch quench austemper) furnace, a washer with transfer pump, temper furnace, transfer car, scissor lift table, and stationary table, all provided by AFC-Holcroft.
The UBQA furnace is designed for neutral hardening, austempering, and other heat treating processes where a controlled environment is required during the heating and quenching portions of the cycle. Parts subjected to the austempering process are shown to have improved mechanical properties such as strength and toughness along with improved dimensional control during processing.
Rotor Clip, which is celebrating its diamond anniversary, is headquartered in Somerset, New Jersey, with locations in Europe and Asia. The company’s products are found in components such as ABS brakes, air conditioning compressors, and steering gears to electric vehicle assemblies, and medical equipment.
