HV DRIVE

ADVANTAGES

Morse® HV drives
Morse HV Drives provide the Drive Designer with a new concept in the transmission of power for high speed, high
load applications.  Proven in a wide range of applications from high production automobiles to custom-designed
flood control pumps.  HV Drives offer opportunity for flexibility,  compactness,  weight saving,  and economy.

design advantages
HV Drives offer these design advantages:
• Fewer shafts and bearings than required for gears.
• Lighter loads on shaft bearings.
• Greater degree of elasticity than is available with gears,  which helps to "cushion" the drive.
• Center distance is less critical, and more flexible than with gears.
• Gives long life on fixed centers . . usually eliminates need for adjustment.
• Loading between shafts on drive is compressive permitting the use of smaller bearings
and lighter housing sections and materials.

 HV DRIVE
DESIGN

What is HV?
HV is a proven transmission drive with a design and capability entirely unique from the usual chain drive which
combines the smoothness of a belt drive with the strength,  compactness,  economy, and long service life of
a steel chain.
  The chain assembly is composed of a series of inverted tooth steel links, laced in alternate sections across
the width of the chain. It is assembled with two steel pins having the same cross-section geometry, one called
the pin and the other the rocker, which form the articulating link joint between the link sections.  See page I-8
for chain dimensions.

1 1/2 and 2 inch Pitches

3/8,  1/2,  3/4 and 1 inch Pitches

HV link
The link design in the original HV pitches - 3/4, 1, 1 1 /2 and 2 inch (Fig. 1)
has been tested in practice and proven for many years.  The link crotch is
located slightly above the line of pull and all corners are rounded to minimize
the possibility of stress risers and to help provide maximum performance on
high load industrial application.
  With the introduction of 3/8 and 1/2 inch pitch chains (Fig. 2).  Morse
engineers developed a new link contour for increased speed requirements.
This design for the two smaller pitches locates the link crotch below the line
of pull.  Photo-elastic studies of various link shapes and aperture positions
produced the design with the lowest level of stress concentration.  In Fig. 1 1 1/2 and 2 inch Pitches
addition,  other research studies provided the results for proper metallurgy,
toe length, back height, and pressure angle to achieve maximum load carrying
capacity and high speed performance.
  Carefully controlled shot-peening of the links gives them a uniform, matte
gray finish and results in the highest level of link fatigue resistance. Another
reason for the HV high load performance.

DESIGN

concentric pin and rocker joint

The concentric pin and rocker joint is used in all pitches of HV chain. This
joint (Fig. 3) in combination with the involute sprocket tooth design
reduces chordal action to a minimum. The HV chain joint consists of a pin
and rocker, each with identical cross-sections and concentric radii. In the
process of the chain engaging sprocket teeth, the curved surfaces roll on
one another thus reducing sliding friction and joint galling. Before the chain
engages the sprocket teeth, the contact point of the HV pin and rocker
remains below the pitch line (Fig. 4). Fig. 3
  As the chain engages the sprocket teeth, the contact point moves
upward (Fig. 5) and the pitch of the chain elongates. The actual amount
of pitch elongation is that required for the chain to wrap the sprocket
along the pitch line.

Fig. 4
HV sprockets
The third criteria for the success of HV is the mating sprockets which
complete the drive.
  The involute tooth form differing from the straight sided teeth of
conventional silent chain sprockets is designed for smooth engagement
of the chain with the sprocket teeth. All HV sprockets are top-hobbed and
the teeth heat treated for tough wear resistant surfaces. Unlike the single
tooth engagement of spur gears, many teeth share the load of a HV drive.
This load sharing of the sprocket teeth results in low stresses, less wear, Fig. 5
and long sprocket life.

chordal action
The compatible design of HV links, joints, and sprockets reduces the detrimental effects of chordal action to a minimum,
the chordal action of conventional chain drives is the vibratory motion caused by the rise and fall of the chain as it engages
sprocket teeth. This motion causes vibration and limits high speed load carrying capability. Of all types of chains, HV
operates most efficiently at all speeds because chordal action is reduced to a minimum.
  Figure 6 shows how the HV chain enters approximately tangent to the pitch circle of the sprocket and maintains this
position as it travels around the sprocket. This smooth HV engagement permits high speed capabilities with maximum
efficiency and quietness.

SEVEN good reasons to use HV in your design!

When gear trains of two or more meshes are needed to achieve center distance
requirements—HV transfer cases provide weight and cost savings because:

1. FEWER SHAFTS and Bearings are required.

2. LIGHTER LOADS on Shaft Bearings.
3. CHAIN BEARING LOADS are compressive, placing case in
compression.  Gear forces are outward subjecting case to more stress.
4. ELASTICITY OF HV CHAIN accommodates normal thermal
expansion, which helps "cushion" the drive.
5. CENTER DISTANCE IS LESS CRITICAL and
more flexible than required by gear mesh
6. HV CASES ARE LIGHTER and the
7. SIMPLIFIED DESIGN results in a positive cost saving.

Centrifugal Blower Drive

Power from a 125 HP,  3500 RPM electric motor is transmitted through
a HV transfer case with self-contained lubrication system to a centrifugal
blower at 3100 RPM over a 34 inch horizontal center distance.  This drive
operates 24 hours a day to provide smooth,  quiet,  maintenance free
operation in a critical power plant application.

Highway Snow Blower Drive Centrifugal Compressor Drive

Power from an auxiliary 465 HP rear of cab mounted diesel
engine is directed downward through a two stage HV
reduction unit with 4.85 to 1 total ratio to enable a drive shaft
to pass forward under the cab to a snow auger and blower
assembly.  The characteristics of HV drives are particularly
suited to this application because of their ability to transmit
power smoothly in a minimum of space and absorb the heavy
shocks encountered in highway snow removal.
Power from a 1200 RPM natural gas engine is transmitted continuously
thru a HV speed increaser with an integral lubrication system.  The
output of the case drives a centrifugal compressor absorbing 282 HP at
3600 RPM.  A Morse radial coupling connection on the input side of the
case dampens engine torsional vibrations.  The HV drive is quiet,  highly
efficient and allows for convenient layout of engine and compressor.

Fire Truck—Pump Drive Swamp Boat Drive Test Stand Drive

Power from V-8 engine is transmitted
through a pair of HV packaged drives
to provide full torque power take-off at
a 1.24 to 1 reduction ratio for driving
discharge water pumps.
  HV drive was selected because of low
noise level, compact design, and high
efficiency.
The output from a 45 HP air-cooled
gasoline engine is reduced from 4400
RPM to 2750 RPM to drive the propeller of
a low draft swamp boat.  This application
of a HV chain case resulted in increased
propulsive efficiency through the use of a
larger diameter,  slower turning propeller
which also contributed to reduced
operating noise level.
The combined power from two 500 HP
automotive V-8 engines is transmitted
thru a dual ratio HV drive to a single
output shaft which drives a cable winch
propelling full-sized passenger cars into
a fixed barrier for crash evaluation and
testing.  Flexibility of HV case design
provided the specific ratios in the center
distance and space requirements.

Recreational Vehicle Dredge Pump Drive

This HV transfer case drives the wheels of a 7-ton recreational
vehicle.  Power from a 454 cubic inch Chevrolet engine,  thru a torque
converter,  and a 3 speed transmission is transmitted by a Morse HV
transfer case with 370 Ibs.  ft.  max.  torque at 2800 RPM.  This HV drive
was used because it offered the RV industry maximum space utilization
while still satisfying heavy load requirements.
A pair of 1125 HP diesel engines are connected to input shafts of HV
packaged drive.  The dual 2.7 to 1 reduction ratio provides power to
a single output shaft at 460 RPM to rotate a 66 inch diameter pump
impeller.  The HV drive was custom designed to meet limited space
requirements.

HV horsepower rating tables

Preliminary drive selection of chain and sprockets may be
obtained from the tables below.  However,  Morse suggests that all
HV drive Selections be submitted to our Engineering Department
for final confirmation.
  Since more than one pitch will work well in most situations it may
be desirable to make two or three choices and base final selection on
the features most important in the design such as cost,  stock chain
and sprocket availability,  size of drive,  noise level (small pitches are
quieter),  loading (larger pitches carry greater load), and smoothness.

sprockets
Are made for stock and Manufactured to order in accordance with Morse
specifications.  Are Hobbed with a generated involute tooth form.
Have Hardened Teeth for wear resistance on tooth flanks.
BASIC HUB TYPES

materials
Sprockets up to 15 inches diameter are usually made from bar steel with larger
sprockets manufactured from plate steel,  forged slugs,  Meehanite or steel
castings.  The type of material can vary depending upon requirements for
delivery,   quantity,  sprocket design, and price.   For example:   Sprockets over
15 inches diameter can be made from meehanite or steel castings but, require
somewhat longer manufacturing lead times for procurement of castings;   if
made of fabricated steel with welded hubs,   shorter manufacturing lead times
are realized but, the cost may be higher.

Type A dimensions
Flush with face of sprocket Nominal pitch and outside diameters—Pages I-15 and I-16.
Maximum bores and hub diameters for sprocket sizes from 21 through 33
teeth. Face width dimensions.

tolerances
Bore diameters,  keyseats and concentricity.  Tolerances closer than shown can
be furnished if required.  The need for closer tolerances should be carefully
considered in light of increased costs.

Type B
Hub one side
performance information
For maximum drive performance it is recommended that a minimum of
25 teeth be used in the small sprocket.   However,  it is permissible to use a
minimum of 19 teeth in the small sprocket with reduced performance.   Where
drive design is under 25 teeth—consult Morse.
For most drives,  an odd number of teeth in one of the sprockets is
recommended.   The use of idler sprockets is not recommended in HV drives.
Drives employing more than two sprockets per chain should be referred to
Morse for review.

HV sprocket ordering information

Specify number of teeth, pitch,  chain width or sprocket face,  hub, type (if
required).  Unless specified,   the length thru bore (LTB),   hub diameter (HD),
keyway,  setscrew and tolerances will be to Morse standard specifications.
Material of sprockets and tooth hardness will be to Morse standard
specifications.
Type C
Hub located centrally with projection both
sides or hub can be the same length as
sprocket face or offset as required.

HV installation information
HV chain and sprocket Installation — When cases for HV drives are not purchased from Morse and the design and
manufacture is performed by others, certain basic guide lines must be followed to ensure proper drive performance.  Morse
HV drive recommendations, ratings, and selection procedures in this catalog are premised on installation in a proper
housing with alignment and installation as outlined in this section and lubrication as recommended on pages I-19 and I-20.
A.  Case Structures
Morse® HV drives are normally employed on applications where high speed
and/or high horsepower transmission is the requirement.  The HV drive
should be installed in rigid housings of welded steel or cast construction
complete with shafts, bearings, seals, and a proper lubrication system in
order to realize the full performance capability of the drive (Fig. 1). The
connection or interface to driver and driven equipment is accomplished
by flexible couplings, universal joints, or direct flanges. Morse offers the
service of design and manufacture of such cases.
B.  Shaft Parallelism
Shafts must be parallel in two planes within .005 inch/foot of bearing
'mounting distance (Fig. 2). Special attention must be given to drives
with non-horizontal shafts due to the tendency for chain to ride on the
guide links.  Applications with shafts other than the horizontal should be
referred to Morse.
HV DRIVES
INSTALLATION
C.  Sprocket Offset
Offset from the machined face of one sprocket to the corresponding face
of the second sprocket (Fig. 3) should ideally be held to zero with the
maximum permissible offset limited to the value "K" inches in table below.
Excessive offset will cause wear on inside of guide links or possible chain
failure if the chain guides climb the sprocket teeth.
chain pitch
3/8 1/2 3/4 1 1 1/2 2
inches
K .022 .025 .031 .036 .044 .051
D.  Sprocket Mounting
Sprockets should have a light interference fit on shafts.  Preferred fits can
be obtained from the latest ANSI Standard B4.1 for Interference Locational
Fits, Class LN3.
  Sprockets may be installed by heating the sprocket in 180°F oil, shrinking
the shaft with dry ice or press-fitting with a hydraulic press.  A positive
mechanical connection is necessary for torque transmittal regardless of the
type of sprocket fit to shaft.  Sprockets with tapered bores or keyseats are
satisfactory, however,  Morse does not recommend the use of split-tapered
bushings in mounting HV sprockets to shafts.
  It is recommended that each sprocket be located positively against a
shoulder or step on the shaft for accurate positioning.  With this style
mounting, the use of type "A" (hubs flush) sprocket will provide the
simplest design.
E.  HV Chain Installation
HV chains can be furnished in the number of required pitches endless or
open for connection of the ends with a standard pin set.
  In some case designs, bearing carriers are large enough to install
sprockets and endless chain through the openings.  Other designs employ
housings which are split at the shaft center to facilitate installation.
  If chain must be installed open refer to Figs. 1 thru 5 on page I-18.

INSTALLATION

HV installation information (continued)

Bring ends of chain together ,on top of larger sprocket in mesh with
sprocket teeth.
Center distance tables should be used or contact Morse for this value.
HV center distances are modified to compensate for chain and sprocket
tolerances.  This modified center distance is obtained by adding .008 inch
per foot of center distance to the nominal or theoretical flat pitch center
distance.  Center distance tolerance should be on the plus side.

G.  HV Case Clearances

Radial Clearance — Where the chain fully wraps the sprockets, the
desirable radial clearance beyond the pitch circle is 2 times the chain pitch.
Minimum clearance sufficient to clear the chain in process of jumping a
sprocket tooth is 1 1/8 times the pitch.
On pre-loaded, fixed center distance a hook-up tool similar to that shown
may be used to bring the ends together.

When connecting the open ends with a pin set, it is very important that
the longer pin of the set must seat nearest to the outside flank of the
guide plate.
  For rivet type connectors:  washers are used on both sides in chain
pitches of 1 1/2 and 2 inches.  Washers are not used in chain pitches of Sag Clearance — The case must be designed for clearance between the
3/8, 1/2, 3/8 and 1 inches. slack strand of chain and the inside of the case.  For this clearance, use
the formula below with value of "A" determined from graph (Fig. 6).  For
reversing drives, design with sag clearance both top and bottom.

F.  Center Distance

On large drive ratios (over 3:1) it is desirable to have at least 120 degrees
wrap on the small sprocket.  On drives without center distance adjustment 10
the center distance should be kept to a minimum.  Minimum center
distance is limited to half the sum of the pitch diameters.  It is desirable
to keep the center distance under 30 pitches.  Drives with long center
distances may require center distance adjustment to attain adequate
wear life.  Adjustable center distances should be limited to a maximum
of 60 pitches of chain, and if a longer center distance is required a double 0

 HV DRIVES
LUBRICATION

HV chain lubrication
A.  Pressure Lube Systems
Experience has shown that for chain speeds above 2500 FPM a pressure
lubrication system is required.  Proper lubrication is necessary to help
provide satisfactory performance, chain wear life and to also lubricate
the surfaces of chain and sprocket contact.  The lubricant must penetrate
the chain joints to dissipate frictional heat and flush out foreign particles.
A replaceable element full flow oil filter with built in relief valve should be
installed between the oil pump and spray pipe.  The filter element should
be capable of removing particles larger than 25 microns.  A pressure gauge
or a low oil pressure switch with a warning device or light is recommended
to protect the chain drive in the event of a malfunction in the lube system.
Additional components should include an oil sump strainer for the oil pump
suction line, and oil fill/breather, magnetic drain plug and an oil level sight
gauge. Shaft bearings can be lubricated from the oil spray within the case
or in some instances, separate lube lines may be required.

B.  Bath Lubrication

At chain speeds below 2500 FPM bath lubrication may be satisfactory.
With bath lubrication, the dynamic oil level should be maintained at the
lowest point of the pitch line, and for this purpose an oil level sight gauge
is desirable.  Too low an oil level is ineffective and too high a level will cause
detrimental churning and heating of the oil.  In some instances it may be
necessary to provide baffles and troughs to direct oil into the chain.  In
some cases bearings may require separate lubrication.

Fig. 1  Pressure (Pump) Lubrication

The lubrication system should supply filtered oil under pressure to the spray
pipes at the total rate of 1 GPM per inch of chain width.  The lubricating
pump with integral pressure relief valve can be driven directly from one
of the case shafts or by means of a separate motor, or an existing supply
of lubricating oil under pressure may be utilized.
  When utilizing a case driven oil pump, the oil reservoir or sump should
have a minimum capacity of three minutes of oil flow.  Spray pipes having
3/8" I.D. with one .093 inch diameter orifice per inch of chain width are
adequate for most installations.  Long center distances or reversing drives
may require an additional spray pipe.  (A single .093 inch diameter orifice
flows approximately .8 GPM of SAE 20W oil at 20 PSI.)  The spray pipe is
Fig. 3  Bath Lubrication
located so as to spray oil into and thru the chain as the slack strand enteres
the sprocket (Fig. 2).

C.  Lubrication Oil Specifications

Satisfactory HV chain case performance depends upon the use of well
refined, high quality oil.
  As a guide to lubrication products, oils are designated by the letters
SA, SB, and SC on the containers.  These letters are service classifications
established by the American Petroleum Institute (API).  The designations
are in addition to the SAE grades established by the Society of Automotive
Engineers which indicate the viscosity of the oil recommended

engineering design
The following information should be considered to design long
life,  quiet,  trouble free Silent Chain Drives:
• For long life,   a minimum of 17 teeth and an odd number of teeth on
one sprocket where possible.
• For maximum quietness,  use sprockets with 23 teeth or more.
• For trouble free drives,  apply service factor for design load.
points to consider in selection
There are certain primary conditions which affect the design of efficient
silent chain drives.  Those most commonly encountered are:
1. The selection of wider chain than the minimum sizes recommended
will give more than a corresponding return in service rendered.  This
is particularly true in drives where overloads are proportionately high.
2. Quieter drives result from designs employing a larger number of
teeth in the drive sprocket.  For quieter drives use a minimum of 23
teeth in the driver sprocket.
3. Larger pitches permit longer center distance.
4. Center adjustment is always desirable.  It is necessary with vertical
centers.
selection of silent chain drives
1. Determine the R.P.M. and diameter of the high speed shaft.
2. Determine the total horsepower to be transmitted.
3. Determine proper service factor from table.
4. Establish Design Horsepower by multiplying total horsepower to
be transmitted by the proper service factor.
5. Select the chain pitch and width and number of teeth in the small
sprocket from the Horsepower Rating Tables.
a.  Be sure the small sprocket will accommodate the high speed
shaft diameter.
b.  If the high speed shaft diameter exceeds the maximum bore
in the selected small sprocket it will be necessary either to
increase the number of teeth in the sprocket or select the next
larger pitch chain.
SILENT CHAIN DRIVES
SELECTION
• On long or fixed center drives,  use a sprocket or shoe idler,  placed
where greatest amount of slack accumulates.
• Do not reduce wrap on small sprockets with idler.
• Engineering is available to you for review of your chain drive design.
5. Fully enclosed drives with adequate lubrications are desirable for
maximum service life and least maintenance.
6. An even number of pitches in the length of chain is desirable because
offset link is eliminated.
7. With horizontal or inclined shaft centers,  the tight or pulling strand
may be either on the top or bottom when the center distance is equal
or less than the sum of the sprocket diameters.  For longer centers
the tight strand should be on top.
8. Chain drives should be chosen on the basis of Horsepower rating
rather than ultimate tensile strength.
9. Chain cases serve as guards for safety and protection.  They confine
lubrication to the area of the chain proper.
6. Determine the required ratio:
RPM high speed shaft  
= Ratio
RPM slow speed shaft
7. Multiply the number of teeth in the small sprocket by the ratio to
obtain the number of teeth in the large sprocket.
8. Turn to page I-23 to calculate chain length.

CHAIN LENGTH CALCULATION

calculation of chain length

The following method of calculating approximate chain length may be used for both standard
roller chain,  silent,  and HV drives.

1. Divide center distance in inches by pitch of chain,  obtaining  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . C

2. Add teeth in small sprocket to teeth in large sprocket,  obtaining  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . S
3. Subtract teeth in small sprocket from teeth in large sprocket, 
obtaining Value D.  From table obtain the corresponding value of  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . K

4. Chain length in pitches  =  2C + S + K

2 C
5. Multiply length by pitch of chain to find chain length in inches.

Example Solution:
Given:
  (1) C = 24" ÷ 1/2 = 48
  Teeth in driving sprocket..................................................21T
  (2) S = (21 + 60) = 81
  Teeth in driven sprocket...................................................60T
  (3)  D = (60 - 21) = 39
  Pitch of chain...................................................................1/2"
   corresponding K = 38.53
  Center distance................................................................24"
Required:
  (4)  Chain length in pitches   =  (2 X 48)  81 38.53
  Necessary length of chain + + = 137.30
2 48
    The next higher whole number is 138 pitches.
  (5)  138 X 1/2  =  69".

A chain cannot contain the fractional part of a pitch;  therefore,   in case
the figure for the number of pitches for the chain length obtained from
the use of the above formula contains a fractional part of a pitch,  use the
next higher whole number of pitches.
  Whenever possible,  use an even number of pitches in the chain
length.  An odd number of pitches requires the use of an offset link which
is not generally desirable.
  The above formula for calculating chain length cannot be used to
calculate center distance dimensions.

Horsepower Rating table indicates the various lubrication ranges for
types of lubrication. A good grade of mineral oil of medium consistency is
recommended. A number of applications have been successful with the use
of colloidal graphite where normal lubrication cannot be employed. Consult
your Morse Sales Engineer for assistance in very special applications.

All sales are made on our STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE in effect at the time a customer’s order is accepted. The current Terms and Conditions are set forth below:
STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE (September 2, 2009)
These Terms and Conditions, the attendant quotation or acknowledgment and all documents incorporated by specific reference therein, will be the complete and exclusive statement of the
terms of the agreement governing the sale of goods (“Goods”) by Emerson Power Transmission Corporation and its divisions and subsidiaries (“Seller”) to Customer (“Buyer”). Buyer’s ac-
ceptance of the Goods will manifest Buyer’s assent to these Terms and Conditions. If these Terms and Conditions differ in any way from the terms and conditions of Buyer’s order, or other
documentation, this document will be construed as a counteroffer and will not be deemed an acceptance of Buyer’s terms and conditions which conflict herewith.
1.  PRICES: Unless otherwise specified in writing by Seller, Seller’s price for the goods shall
remain in effect for thirty (30) days after the date of Seller’s quotation or acknowledgment
of Buyer’s order for the Goods, whichever occurs first, provided an unconditional, complete
authorization for the immediate shipment of the Goods is received and accepted by Seller
within such time period. If such authorization is not received by Seller within such thirty (30)
day period, Seller shall have the right to change the price for the Good to Seller’s price for the
Goods at the time of shipment.
2.  TAXES: Any tax or governmental charge or increase in same hereafter becoming effec-
tive increasing the cost to Seller of producing, selling or delivering the Goods or of procuring
material used therein, and any tax now in effect or increase in same payable by the Seller
because of the manufacture, sale or delivery of the Goods, may at Seller’s option, be added
to the price.
3.  TERMS OF PAYMENT: Subject to the approval of Seller’s Credit Department, terms are
net thirty (30) days from date of Seller’s invoice in U.S. currency. If any payment owed to
Seller is not paid when due, it shall bear interest, at a rate to be determined by Seller, which
shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, from the date on which it is due until it is
paid. Seller shall have the right, among other remedies, either to terminate the Agreement or
to suspend further performance under this and/or other agreements with Buyer in the event
Buyer fails to make any payment when due. Buyer shall be liable for all expenses, including
attorneys’ fees, relating to the collection of past due amounts.
4.  SHIPMENT AND DELIVERY: Shipments are made F.O.B. Seller’s shipping point. Any
claims for shortages or damages suffered in transit shall be submitted by the Buyer directly
to the carrier. While Seller will use all reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the delivery
date acknowledged or quoted by Seller, all shipping dates are approximate. Seller reserves
the right to make partial shipments and to segregate “specials” and made-to-order Goods
from normal stock Goods. Seller shall not be bound to tender delivery of any Goods for which
Buyer has not provided shipping instructions.
5.  QUANTITY: Buyer agrees to accept overruns of up to ten percent (10%) of the order on
“made-to-order” Goods, including parts. Any such additional items shall be priced at the price
per item charged for the specific quantity ordered.
6.  LIMITED WARRANTY: Subject to the limitations of Section 7, Seller warrants that the
Goods will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use, service and
maintenance for a period of one year (unless otherwise specified by Seller in writing) from
the date of shipment of the Goods by Seller. THIS IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE WAR-
RANTY GIVEN BY SELLER WITH RESPECT TO THE GOODS AND IS IN LIEU OF AND
EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY OPERA-
TION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, MERCHANTABIL-
ITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOS WHETHER OR NOT THE PURPOSE
OR USE HAS BEEN DISCLOSED TO SELLER IN SPECIFICATIONS, DRAWINGS OR
OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT SELLER’S PRODUCTS ARE SPECIFICALLY
DESIGNED AND/OR MANUFACTURED BY SELLER FOR BUYER’S USE OR PURPOSE.
This warranty does not extend to any losses or damages due to misuse, accident, abuse, ne-
glect, normal wear and tear, unauthorized modification or alteration, use beyond rated capac-
ity, or improper installation, maintenance or application. To the extent that Buyer or its agents
has supplied specifications, information, representation of operating conditions or other data
to Seller in the selection or design of the Goods and the preparation of Seller’s quotation, and
in the event that actual operating conditions or other conditions differ from those represented
by Buyer, any warranties or other provisions contained herein which are affected by such
conditions shall be null and void. If within thirty (30) days after Buyer’s discovery of any war-
ranty defects within the warranty period, Buyer notifies Seller thereof in writing, Seller shall,
at its option, repair or replace F.O.B. point of manufacture, or refund the purchase price for,
that portion of the goods found by Seller to be defective. Failure by Buyer to give such writ-
ten notice within the applicable time period shall be deemed an absolute and unconditional
waiver of Buyer’s claim for such defects. Goods repaired or replaced during the warranty
period shall be covered by the foregoing warranty for the remainder of the original warranty
period or ninety (90) days, whichever is longer. Buyer assumes all other responsibility for any
loss, damage, or injury to persons or property arising out of, connected with, or resulting from
the use of Goods, either alone or in combination with other products/components.
SECTIONS 6 AND 7 APPLY TO ANY ENTITY OR PERSON WHO MAY BUY, ACQUIRE
OR USE SELLER’S GOODS, INCLUDING ANY ENTITY OR PERSON WHO BUYS THE
GOODS FROM SELLER’S DISTRIBUTOR AND SUCH ENTITY OR PERSON SHALL BE
BOUND BY THE LIMITATIONS THEREIN.
7.  LIMITATION OF REMEDY AND LIABILITY: THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR
BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY HEREUNDER (OTHER THAN THE WARRANTY PRO-
VIDED UNDER SECTION 13) SHALL BE LIMITED TO REPAIR, REPLACEMENT OR
REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE UNDER SECTION 6. SELLER SHALL NOT BE LI-
ABLE FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY DELAY IN PERFORMANCE AND IN NO EVENT, RE-
GARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER BASED
IN CONTRACT, INFRINGEMENT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OTHER TORT OR
OTHERWISE), SHALL SELLER’S LIABILITY TO BUYER AND/OR ITS CUSTOMERS
EXCEED THE PRICE TO BUYER OF THE SPECIFIC GOODS PROVIDED BY SELLER
GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION. BUYER AGREES THAT IN NO
EVENT SHALL SELLER’S LIABILITY TO BUYER AND/OR ITS CUSTOMERS EXTEND
TO INCLUDE INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. THE TERM
“CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES” SHALL INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, LOSS OF
ANTICIPATED PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF REVENUE, COST OF CAPITAL AND
DAMAGE OR LOSS OF OTHER PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT.
It is expressly understood that any technical advice furnished by Seller with respect to the
use of the Goods is given without charge, and Seller assumes no obligation or liability for the
advice given, or results obtained, all such advice being given and accepted at Buyer’s risk.
GOODS AND/OR SERVICES SOLD HEREUNDER ARE NOT FOR USE IN ANY NUCLEAR
AND RELATED APPLICATIONS. Buyer accepts goods and/or services with the foregoing
understanding, agrees to communicate the same in writing to any subsequent purchaser or
users and to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any claims, losses, suits, judg-
ments and damages, including incidental and consequential damages, arising from such use,
whether the cause of action be based in tort, contract or otherwise, including allegations that
the Seller's liability is based on negligence or strict liability.
8.  EXCUSE OF PERFORMANCE: Seller shall not be liable for delays in performance or for
non-performance due to acts of God, acts of Buyer, war, riot, fire, flood, other severe weather,
sabotage, or epidemics; strikes or labor disturbances; governmental requests, restrictions,
laws, regulations, orders or actions; unavailability of or delays in transportation; default of
suppliers; or unforeseen circumstances or any events or causes beyond Seller’s reason-
able control. Deliveries may be suspended for an appropriate period of time as a result of
the foregoing. If Seller determines that its ability to supply the total demand for the Goods,
or to obtain material used directly or indirectly in the manufacture of the Goods, is hindered,
limited or made impracticable due to causes addressed in this Section 8, Seller may allocate
its available supply of the Goods or such material (without obligation to acquire other sup-
plies of any such Goods or material) among itself and its purchasers on such basis as Seller
determines to be equitable without liability for any failure of performance which may result
therefrom. Deliveries suspended or not made by reason of this section may be canceled by
Seller upon notice to Buyer without liability, but the balance of the agreement shall otherwise
remain unaffected.
9.  CANCELLATIONS AND DELAYS: The Buyer may cancel orders only upon written notice
and upon payment to Seller of cancellation charges which include, among other things, all
costs and expenses incurred and commitments made by the Seller and a reasonable profit
thereon. Any request by Buyer to extend the delivery schedule must be agreed to in writing
by the Seller. If agreement cannot be reached, Seller may deliver product to the last known
ship to address and invoice the Buyer upon completion of the product or prior delivery date,
whichever is later.
10.  CHANGES: Buyer may request changes or additions to the Goods consistent with Sell-
er’s specifications and criteria. In the event such changes or additions are accepted by Seller,
Seller may revise the price and delivery schedule. Seller reserves the right to change designs
and specifications for the Goods without prior notice to Buyer, except with respect to Goods
being made-to-order for Buyer.
11.  TOOLING: Tool, die, and pattern charges, if any, are in addition to the price of the Goods
and are due and payable upon completion of the tooling. All such tools, dies and patterns
shall be and remain the property of Seller. Charges for tools, dies, and patterns do not convey
to Buyer, title, ownership interests in, or rights to possession or removal, nor prevent their use
by Seller for other purchasers, except as otherwise expressly provided by Seller and Buyer
in writing with reference to this provision.
12. ASSIGNMENT: Buyer shall not assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder or any
interest therein or any rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Seller, and any
such assignment, without such consent, shall be void.
13.  PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS: Subject to Section 7, Seller warrants that the Goods
sold, except as are made specifically for Buyer according to Buyer’s specifications, do not
infringe any valid U.S. patent or copyright in existence as of the date of delivery. This war-
ranty is given upon the condition that Buyer promptly notify Seller of any claim or suit involv-
ing Buyer in which such infringement is alleged, and, that Buyer cooperate fully with Seller
and permit Seller to control completely the defense or compromise of any such allegation
of infringement. Seller’s warranty as to use only applies to infringements arising solely out
of the inherent operation (i) of such Goods, or (ii) of any combination of Goods in a system
designed by Seller. In the event such Goods, singularly or in combination, are held to infringe
a U.S. patent or copyright in such suit, and the use of such Goods is enjoined, or in the case
of a compromise by Seller, Seller shall have the right, at its option and expense, to procure
for Buyer the right to continue using such Goods, or replace them with non-infringing Goods;
or modify same to become non-infringing; or grant Buyer a credit for the depreciated value of
such Goods and accept return of them.
14.  MISCELLANEOUS: These terms and conditions set forth the entire understanding and
agreement between Seller and Buyer, and supersede all other communications, negotiations
and prior oral or written statements regarding the subject matter of these terms and condi-
tions. No change, modification, rescission, discharge, abandonment, or waiver of these terms
and conditions of Sale shall be binding upon the Seller unless made in writing and signed
on its behalf by an officer of the Seller. No conditions, usage or trade, course of dealing or
performance, understanding or agreement purporting to modify, vary, explain, or supplement
these Terms and Conditions shall be binding unless hereafter made in writing and signed by
the party to be bound, and no modification shall be affected by the acceptance of purchase
orders or shipping instruction forms containing terms at variance with or in addition to those
set forth herein. Any such modifications or additional terms are specifically rejected by Seller.
No waiver by Seller with respect to any breach or default or any right or remedy and no
course of dealing, shall be deemed to constitute a continuing waiver of any other breach or
default or of any other right or remedy, unless such waiver be expressed in writing and signed
by the party to be bound. Seller is not responsible for typographical or clerical errors made
in any quotation, orders or publications. All such errors are subject to correction. The validity,
performance, and all other matters relating to the interpretation and effect of this contract
shall be governed by the law of the state of New York. The United Nations Convention on the
International Sale of Goods shall not apply to
any transaction hereunder.
