DFM (Design for Manufacturing)

  • Lead-In Chamfers: Ideally 15-30 degrees to assist in press-fitting without shearing the housing.
  • Wall Thickness: Keep > 0.060″ (1.5mm) to prevent distortion during machining and installation.
  • Undercuts: Avoid internal undercuts unless necessary; they require specialized tooling and increase cost.
  • Press Fit Allowance: Account for ID closure (shrinkage) after press-fitting into the housing (approx 80-100% of interference).

Quality Assurance Protocol

  • Material Traceability: Mill Test Reports (MTR) provided for every heat lot to verify chemical composition (Cu, Sn, Pb, Zn).
  • Dimensional Verification: Air gaging used for critical bore tolerances (+/- 0.0002″) to ensure correct clearance.
  • Surface Integrity: Visual inspection for casting porosity, inclusions, or machining chatter marks.
