Custom Slotted Pins - DFARS Stainless Steel

 

Custom Slotted Pins - DFARS Stainless Steel
We had these custom slotted pins manufactured domestically for our aerospace customer using DFARS compliant 303 stainless steel material.  The pins measure .094" in diameter and .35" in overall length, with the slot at .020" in width by .115" in depth.  The outside profile tapered from .094" diameter max to .088" at the narrow side.  Full certs were provided with the parts.

Custom Flat Stamped Nuts - M8-1.25 Thread

 

Custom Flat Stamped Nuts - M8-1.25 Thread
We had slightly over 10,000 pieces of the custom flat stamped nuts manufactured using mild steel material with zinc clear finish.  Outside dimensions measured 22.86mm X 16mm with thickness set to 6mm.  M8-1.25 6h thread was tapped with its center approximately 5.6mm from the edge of the nut.  6mm is probably the maximum thickness to allow stamping for this size nut without exhibiting too much variation in thickness along the profile.

Custom Precision Cam Nuts - Mild Steel With Zinc Plating

 

Custom Precision Cam Nuts - Mild Steel With Zinc Plating
We had 12,000 pieces of these large custom precision cam nuts manufactured in mild steel for our construction component manufacturer.  Overall length measured 91.7MM and max OD at the base was set to 23.88MM.  M8 X 1.25 6g thread was incorporated on both sides and M12 X 1.75 6h thread was tapped in the center of the base.  Both shoulders were tuned to a 13.37-13.48MM diameter.  Material certs and certificate of conformance was provided with the parts.

Custom Bent Steel Zinc Washers - Mild Steel With Zinc Plating

 

Custom Bent Steel Zinc Washers - Mild Steel With Zinc Plating
These custom bent steel zinc washers were manufactured for our specialty OEM manufacturer using mild steel ranging in thickness from 1.8-2.0MM - the edges of the bent washer are actually used to clamp down the assembly so the thickness had to be just right to allow the application of the needed force without flattening out.  The top level dimensions of the rectangular shape are 23.7 X 44.8MM with a +/-.5MM tolerance and the inside drilled hole measures 8.5MM in diameter.  The outside height of the component is set to 7.34MM.  A simple part but it took us 3 sets of samples and tooling variations to get it to perform exactly as required.

Custom 12 Point Flange Bolts With Internal 3/8-16 Thread

 

Custom 12 Point Flange Bolts With Internal 3/8-16 Thread
We supplied these custom 12 point flange bolts to our automotive customer at 5,000 pieces per size, with size ranging from 12.6MM shoulder diameter X 1.70" to 12.6MM shoulder diameter X 3.2".  4140 alloy steel material was used for the production with heat treatment to reach 39-45HRC hardness.  Black oxide finish was the last step in the production process.  3/8-16 internal thread was tapped on all size configurations to reach a minimum of 18MM in full thread depth.

Custom Aluminum Diecast Fittings - ADC12 Aluminum Alloy

 

Custom Aluminum Diecast Fittings
These custom trim aluminum diecast fittings for our lighting fixture customer were manufactured using ADC12 Aluminum Alloy material with plain finish.  Overall diameter measured 5.75" and the inside opening diameter measured 2.55".  2,500 pieces were produced in the first production run and a small partial was provided prior to the full balance.  Annual blanket purchase agreements are ideal for this type of part due to the space and cash output required to bring in the full amount in one shipment - we would instead spread out the annual usage over 12 months and invoice as parts are shipped out.

Custom 17-4PH Precision Dowel Pins With Spherical Points

 

Custom 17-4PH Precision Dowel Pins With Spherical Points
We supplied our customer that manufactures fire pump equipment with these custom 17-4ph precision dowel pins using 100% domestic production with DFARS compliant raw material and full certs - material certs, heat treat certs, and a certificate of conformance.  The pins were produced to a diameter of .1249-.1251" and overall length of .670-.675" with equal spherical radii on both sides.  Parts went through heat treatment to achieve the Rc36 hardness minimum requirement.
