Appliance Design - February 2009 - (Page 26) efficient power JoINING For a seamless appearance, position control hinges from Southco can be embedded within the product design. The elimination of visible hardware and recesses on this medical device improves aesthetics and eases product cleaning. Rosenberg EC fans outperform the competition with quiet power and efficiency. Our axial designs deliver airflow up to 16,900 cfm. Our backward curved fans provide up to six inches of steady static pressure. Both operate 15-20% more efficient than traditional AC fans with VFD. They’re ideal for main-secondary or pressure control, and RS485 networks. Put the power of Rosenberg EC fans to work for you.

Unlike standard ball-bearing orientations in which the bearings are all on the same plane, Hettich has them arranged in what Weissenfels calls a “star” pattern. The ball bearings are on several different planes rather than one plane. This gives the slides more lateral stability in case the drawer is bumped when extended. The Quadro Compact comes in four different versions: a partial extension of about 80 percent travel; full extension, an over-travel version; and a heavyduty version. Load ranges vary, but at full extension, it is around 100 lbs. However, even that is customizable. The full extension slides can be derated down to 44 lbs to change the price point of the slide. Joining hardware such as these slides, latches, or hinges, are proving to be a new way to set an appliance apart. By tailoring it to specific needs, they can also improve the perception of quality, even if all the other components or materials stay the same. < For more information, email: Hettich America: kweissenfels@hettichamerica.net Nielsen Hardware: joe.miller@nielsenhardware.com Southco: jford@southco.com Weber Knapp: tcoffin@weberknapp.com www.applianceDESIGN.com 26 applianceDESIGN AD05084Rose.indd 1 February 2009 4/7/08 12:08:36 PM http://www.rosenbergusa.com http://www.rosenbergusa.com http://www.appliancedesign.com
