Aunov Tech supplies the Stainless steel 316 sensor probe with hex surface screw as a stainless steel component manufactured entirely in house. On the product, the sensor housing protects the electronics from vibration, fluid and electromagnetic noise. Forming, machining and inspection share one floor, and a design change is re-sampled in one place on one production route.
Product overview
This stainless steel sensor is defined by, wall thickness control, flange geometry and the sealing surface, each measured at first article and gauged on production batches.
Tooling and finishing for this stainless steel sensor run under one roof, so a drawing change is absorbed in one step, with process data archived for repeat orders.
How it is manufactured
Every stainless steel sensor follows the same routed path: Coil is blanked and then drawn down in successive stages; after drawing, critical faces are machined and the part is degreased and gauged.
Production batches of the stepped probe tube are gauged back to the signed first article, not to a memory of it. First article, drawing revision and material cert travel with each stepped probe tube batch.
Materials and finishing
Materials kept on the floor cover cold-rolled steel (SPCC / DC01), 304 / 316 stainless, aluminium, brass, copper and bronze with 304 / 316 stainless steel specified on the drawing for this stainless steel sensor.
Cleanliness drives the finish here: plating, anodising, powder coating, electrophoresis and passivation. It is written into the drawing for this stainless steel sensor, so it cannot drift between batches.
Production batches of the stepped probe tube are gauged back to the signed first article, not to a memory of it. The signed stepped probe tube sample remains the reference and is kept with the job file.
Quality control
An ISO 9001 certified system governs production: stock arrivals are checked against mill certificates, first articles are measured on a CMM, and run inspections follow an agreed sampling plan. Thread class and sealing faces of the stepped probe tube are verified on every run. Tests for torque, leakage or pressure can be arranged when the service demands them, and the inspection report ships with each batch.
Where the part is used
The stainless steel sensor is fitted into sensor and thermostat assemblies in volume programmes as well as aftermarket supply.
One part number for this stainless steel sensor frequently serves several assemblies, so a single grade and coating can cover each application, and approvals carry across programmes.
Customization and options
Common variation points across this stepped probe tube family
What customers usually vary on this stainless steel sensor: wall thickness bands, flange geometry, thread call-outs and the surface finish, with orders run as prototypes, pilot lots or scheduled call-offs.
Each quote for this stainless steel sensor states which variations are already tooled, so the boundary between free and chargeable changes is explicit. Every stepped probe tube reorder repeats the same cost split.
Specifications
| Item | Stainless steel 316 sensor probe with hex surface screw |
|---|---|
| Brand | AUNOV |
| Designing | Send drawings, or send a sample to be measured – DFM notes are returned before any tooling is cut; the same drawing is used for every repeat order. |
| Tooling | Tooling is built and held under your part number, so die cost stays transparent, and the die remains dedicated to your part. |
| Samples | First-article samples ship with a dimensional report and material certificate. |
| Materials | Materials held include carbon steel, 304 / 316 stainless, aluminium and brass; material substitutes are proposed only with your written approval. |
| Surface finish | Natural, plated or coated – the print decides, and the agreed finish is logged; finish thickness and adhesion checked on the first article. |
| Processing | Deep drawing followed by CNC finishing on critical faces; first articles verify the whole flow before the run is released. |
| Equipment | Hydraulic presses for drawing, with CNC turning for finishing; secondary ops run on CNC turning centres, inspection on the CMM. |
| Tolerance | +/-0.02 mm on machined seats, sealing faces flat to drawing; finer bands confirmed from capability data before quoting. |
| Delivery terms | CIF or DDP, with FOB available, T/T or L/C, with D/P accepted on repeat business; each volume tier carries its own quoted price. |
Packaging and delivery
For this stainless steel sensor, protection starts at the surface: interleaving, bagging or tray packing is matched to the surface, then cartons are sealed and palletised, with marks and documents as you specify.
