Pertanyaan umum tentang ALDEN dari 3G Electric.
What materials are ALDEN screw extractors designed to work on?
ALDEN screw extractors are typically made from high-speed steel or carbon steel and are heat-treated for hardness. They are designed to extract broken or seized fasteners made from common materials such as steel, stainless steel, brass, and aluminum. The extractor's fluted, tapered geometry bites into the fastener when rotated counterclockwise, allowing removal without damaging the surrounding workpiece. For best results, the fastener should be drilled with a pilot hole if the head is sheared off, and the extractor should be used at low speed with steady pressure.
What is the difference between single-ended and double-ended ALDEN extractor bits?
Single-ended ALDEN extractor bits have one working end with a specific size and capacity, such as size #2 with 5/16 in/M8 capacity. Double-ended bits have two working ends, each with a different size, allowing the user to flip the tool for a different fastener size without changing bits. For example, the ALDEN 4-piece double-ended set (MPN 4507P) includes bits with sizes #1 through #4, covering capacities from #5 to 1/4 in. Double-ended bits are more versatile for field use, while single-ended bits may offer better access in tight spaces.
How do I select the correct ALDEN extractor size for a given fastener?
ALDEN extractors are sized by a number (e.g., #1, #2, #3, #4) and have a specified capacity range in inches or metric. For example, a size #2 extractor (MPN 3127P) has a capacity of 5/16 in/M8. To select the correct size, measure the diameter of the fastener or the pilot hole you can drill. The extractor should be slightly smaller than the fastener's minor diameter to allow it to bite. ALDEN sets like the 4-piece double-ended set (MPN 4507P) cover a range from #5 to 1/4 in, suitable for small to medium fasteners. For larger fasteners, use a single-ended bit like size #4 (MPN 5007P) with 1/2 in/M12 capacity.
Can ALDEN extractor bits be used with a power drill?
Yes, ALDEN extractor bits are designed to be used with standard drill drivers or hand tools. The bits have a hexagonal or round shank that fits into a drill chuck. When using a power drill, set it to low speed and reverse rotation to engage the extractor into the fastener. Apply steady, moderate pressure to avoid snapping the extractor. For stubborn fasteners, applying penetrating oil before extraction can help. Always wear eye protection and ensure the workpiece is securely clamped.
What is the capacity range of the ALDEN 10-piece screw extractor set (MPN 1007P)?
The ALDEN 10-piece screw extractor set (MPN 1007P) includes both double-ended and single-ended extractor bits. The set covers capacities from #5 to 1/4 in for the double-ended bits and 5/16 in to 1/2 in for the single-ended bits. This range makes it suitable for extracting fasteners from small screws up to larger bolts. The set provides a comprehensive selection for maintenance tasks across various equipment, including machinery, automotive components, and industrial fixtures.
