A way cover?
| | |
HI
Refering to the figure, I am looking out for a substance which is made of rubber & has profile as shown in figure. It compresses as the slider pushs & decompresses as the slider moves back.
It is used to avoid coolant & burr entry into the mechanism.
I don't what it is called as...?....Can anyone help.
If you aren't getting it, just imagine the rubber used on surface grinding machine.

accordion type way cover.

Pleated cover, pleated strip?
Corrugated rubber?
An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.
Zirok,
A Gortite accordion bellow cover?
Jeff...

Whatzit It looks like a "blue rubber thingy."
As Jeff said, Gortite is a common supplier.

Well thanks everybody for wonderful contribution.
One more query remains that how it is attached.
Refering to the figure, you can see a slider(shown in red) & the guideways shown in blue.
How to attached WAY COVER here.??

There is no indication of how large the mechanism is, but it appears your slideway is below the blue area?
If you want to cover it from the top, you may be able to use ordinary industrial rubber sheet material, you normally would attach it to one end the fixed part the other to the extreme end of the moving part, in the picture and using rubber sheet it could simply concertina up when the slide is fully retracted.
This is the way many small knee mills cover the ways.

Thanks for the reply
As shown in Picture 456, I understand that you are saying to glue one side of way cover to Part A ( which is stationery ) & the other to the moving Part B.
Am I right ?
Also does the rubber has a linear sort of (as shown in picture 130 in green colour ) which needs to be attached {WITH HELP OF GLUE} between the sideways (Part C & D...see picture 909)

The material I have used in this manner for short spread areas is from a local rubber sheet supplier and is just plain flat 1/8" material sold in about 48" widths, I am not sure of the exact composition.
I usually attach it with a simple 3/4" wide metal strip using #10-32 screws drilled and tapped at the attachment points each end.
