EXAIR Partnering with University of Cincinnati Robotics Team

EXAIR has a long history of community engagement, particularly with the University of Cincinnati. Recently, an opportunity arose to help bring engineering dreams to life through the University of Cincinnati's Combat Robotics Team. By contributing time, product, and financial backing, EXAIR is proud to support and encourage the growth of a younger generation of engineers and continue increasing the visibility of STEAM learning.

UCCR (University of Cincinnati Combat Robotics) is a private club on the college's campus that designs, engineers, and battles robotic creations. The club features a team of about 10 aspiring engineers who, in between their heavy courseloads, create highly technical and impressive robots that compete in different tournaments around the United States. The club itself is highly focused on building sound engineering principles and the ability to marry those principles with creativity to create a formidable machine. The fostering of this creativity and the furthering of engineering as a whole is perfectly aligned with the values of EXAIR. With traveling to events, finding materials for the robots, providing funding for fabrication costs, and other expenses, EXAIR supports these students academically while encouraging them to become the best version of themselves.
Giving back to the community is a core value of EXAIR, and this is just one of many ways EXAIR will continue to honor that tradition. EXAIR.com offers a litany of resources to further educate on compressed air, fluid dynamics, and manufacturing as a whole. Tools like Case Studies, Webinars, White Papers, and a daily blog provide free insight and guidance for aspiring minds. Visit www.exair.com to learn more. https://exair.co/184-uccr

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
