RFID Access Control options include: RP500 Proximity Card Reader – Based on proven contactless digital radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, the RP 500 readers interface with a wide range of electronic access control systems including both Wiegand and magnetic stripe communication protocols. Compact design ideal for mounting on doors, entrance gates and boom gates. The reader delivers high performance, non-contact read ranges up to 200 mm. Electronics are sealed in epoxy ensuring maximum protection. The RP500 Proximity card reader comes with a lifetime warranty. RPSC1 Clamshell Card – Like the Key Ring Tag and Silicon Wrist Band the RPSC1 Clamshell Cards are passive devices with no battery which eliminates the need for maintenance. Clamshell cards can be ordered to support several proximity reader technologies. The durable ABS plastic card ensures long life and is easily attached to a lanyard or belt clip. The RPSC1 is the most cost-effective proximity card with a large surface area ideally suited for printing additional information such as logos, ID numbers and even photos can be screen printed on the card. Key Ring Tag – The brass eyelet allows it to be attached to a key ring and it is no larger than most keys. While the RPSK-1 has similar characteristics to the clamshell cards, due to its small size its read range is reduced. Silicon Wrist Band – The advantage of these types of tags is that it keeps your hands free and they are especially useful in clean rooms. They fit easily onto your wrist and there is no fumbling trying to find a card to open a door or gate. They are suitable for use in food preparation areas where there are detergents and wet areas.

Bur Extractor Tool is designed to help you remove the smallest of burs from your Vortex F5 Carver. We found very small steel needle nose pliers works best. These heat treated steel needle nose pliers is the perfect tool for removing the small burs like the FG-33½ or FG-¼. These needle nose pliers feature a nonslip comfort grip and a drop forged construction for added durability.
Directions: 1) Twist Vortex F5 cap to the open position. 2) Grip “shaft” of bur with Extractor Tool. 3) Carefully nudge the bur from the spindle. 4) Replace bur by wiping the shaft clean. 5) Seat bur completely into the spindle. 6) Twist Vortex F5 cap to the close position.
Why We Use Ceramic Bearings
Ceramic Bearings are ideal for the Vortex F5. They are superior to common steel bearings in many ways. Ceramic is the ideal material for obtaining higher RPM (faster speed).
Ceramic balls need less lubricant and have a greater hardness than steel balls. This contributes to increased bearing life. Thermal properties of ceramic balls are more superior than steel resulting in less heat generation at higher speeds.
Ceramic bearing assemblies use ceramic balls but they are constructed with steel inner and outer rings. Ceramic balls weigh up to 40% less than steel balls. This reduces centrifugal loading so ceramic bearings can operate up to 50% faster. Also, the outer race groove exerts less force against the ball as the bearing spins, reducing the friction and rolling resistance. The final results, ceramic balls allows the bearing to spin faster and uses less energy to maintain rotational speed.
By not having to insert burs by bear down on a hard surface like other carving tools, radial bearings can be utilized instead of angular bearings. Radial bearings are better suited for carving on their sides. Angular bearings which are primarily used in a vertical position and drilling.
Permanently Lubed for Life Turbine Bearings
Within the nosecone of the Vortex F5, there is a turbine bearing assembly. The bearings are permanently lubed and never need oiling. Warning: using an in-line mist fog oiler or placing drops of oil or cleaner into the hose may cause damage to the carver and void the warranty.
