SUBURBAN
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SUBURBAN from 3G Electric.
What materials are SUBURBAN angle plates made from?
SUBURBAN angle plates are available in cast iron and hardened steel. Cast iron plates are machined and typically have flatness and parallelism tolerances of 0.002 in. Hardened steel plates offer tighter tolerances, such as 0.0002 in square and parallel. Both types are designed for use in surface grinding, inspection, and setup applications.
What is the difference between a SUBURBAN standard pole magnetic sine plate and a compound sine plate?
A standard pole magnetic sine plate, like the MSP-126-S2, uses a single pivot axis to set an angle relative to the base. A compound sine plate, such as the SPC-1212-S2, has two pivot axes, allowing simultaneous angular adjustments in two planes. Compound plates are used for complex angular setups in grinding and machining operations.
What tolerances can I expect from SUBURBAN straight edges?
SUBURBAN steel straight edges, such as model SE-12-TS, have a straightness tolerance of 0.0005 in. They are available with metric/SAE graduations and a square edge profile. These straight edges are used for checking flatness and straightness of machine tables, workpieces, and other surfaces.
Are SUBURBAN sine plates available with magnetic holding?
Yes, SUBURBAN offers magnetic sine plates with standard pole construction, such as the MSP-126-S2. These plates use permanent magnets to hold ferromagnetic workpieces during angular setup. They are available in various sizes, including 12 in x 6 in, and are designed for surface grinding applications.
What hole patterns are available on SUBURBAN slotted cast iron angle plates?
SUBURBAN slotted cast iron angle plates feature hole patterns that vary by size. For example, the SAW-120908 has (11) 11/16 in holes, while the SAO-060504 has (7) 9/16 in holes. These slots allow for clamping and mounting of workpieces or fixtures. Hole styles are specified in the product datasheets.
