ABSTRACT:
A modular fuser assembly having a lightweight plastic structural housing. The lightweight housing is made possible by utilizing heavy steel endplates which are designed so that the net moment on each end plate pair is minimized. This is accomplished by having the load points on opposite sides of the endplate and aligned such that the moments tend to negate each other. The design of the endplates allows the use of relatively lightweight cross members thus enabling the lightweight thermoplastic housing.
