ELIJAH ELT-EZD-M12XM18-1 ZipBushing Precision Threaded Locator Bushing

INTRODUCTION

The ZipBushing™ Precision Threaded Locator Bushing from Elijah Tooling, Inc. (ELT) is a patented product developed as a combination replacement of bushing and threaded insert which together make up a multi-purpose-hole (MPH). The multi-purpose hole is used in modular fixturing to provide location and holding capability by multiple means. Typically a bushing is co-axially aligned with a threaded insert to facilitate the use of dowel pins, XZertz™ retractable dowel pins or shoulder screws for locating purposes, and screws, bolts, and similar for holding purposes. (In some situations, it is desirable to hold and locate at the same time, made possible via precision dowel screws – shoulders screws). The advantage of the ZipBushing ™ Precision Threaded Locator Bushing is that all of the holding and locating capability is supplied via one product, not two. Not only does it consist of one unified product, but it is easily installed, by turning; or removed, by turning, using the EZE- DRIVE™ feature (10 point star driver). The installation and removal of regular bushing and insert combinations is significantly more difficult. Thus, the “ZipBushing” quickly facilitates the initial installation or repair and replacement of damaged holes. When plates require skimming the face to eliminate marring and scarring, this product will make it possible to enhance that investment by allowing for multiple depth passes on the plate.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the receiving plate in the following manner:

• Drill a 16.27mm diameter to a depth of at least 31mm. It is preferable to produce a through hole, but not necessary. If self-tapping option is desired, and depending upon method used & torque applied, a larger hole may be necessary. Up to 17.5mm will work.
• Counter Bore M12.015/M12.033 to a depth of at least 12.2mm.
• Countersink 19.8mm x 90 degrees
• Tap or Thread M18x1.5 to a minimum depth of 28.7mm.
  (Optional if self-tapping option is desired.)

Install ZipBushing™ Precision Threaded Locator Bushing

• Apply medium duty thread locker to the outside threads.
• Place “ZipBushing” into prepared hole.
• Insert ELT-EZD-DRIVER-3 drive mechanism into the drive element (10 star pattern) of the bushing.
• Using PRO-1 torque limiting pneumatic wrench (or equivalent), at the # 2 torque setting, applying approximately 35 ft.lbs. force, to screw bushing clockwise until it bottoms in the hole.

Remove ZipBushing™ Precision Threaded Locator Bushing

• Insert ELT-EZD-DRIVER-3 into the drive element of the product.
• Using PRO-1 torque limiting pneumatic wrench (or equivalent), at the # 4 torque setting, apply approximately 65 ft.lbs. force, screwing counter-clockwise until the product is out.
