Drawn shells and sensor cups in assorted diameters – the shallow, precise shells that hold sensor elements. Sensor cups need clean internal surfaces and no stray burrs, so every shell is deburred and inspected before it ships.
Function and Design
Shell work is unforgiving: a few hundredths in the wrong place and the assembly will not go together. Any drift in the shell process is corrected at the machine, not sorted out at inspection.
Key Features
- The variants come from matched tooling, so dimensions stay consistent across the set.
- Volume pricing follows from in-house tooling and the long-run capacity behind it.
- First-article verified, then sampled in production – batches match.
- Material: Grade set by the print; for shell work we regularly run carbon steel, 304/316 stainless, aluminium and brass.
- Process: the shell is drawn in house on maintained presses, wall thickness held to the print.
- Finish: Surface treatment for the shell is picked for its working environment, not from a catalogue.
- Size: Size per customer drawing, family covers the standard size range.
- Custom: Custom production of the shell to print, MOQ set by the drawing rather than a catalogue.
Applications
It earns its place in appliance and HVAC assemblies, automotive sensor and motor housings, electrical enclosures and junction boxes.
Our Production Advantage
Drawing and annealing windows are set from the drawing, not from habit. Dimensional reports and material certs are issued with the first article.
Send the shell drawing or a sample and we return a quotation with material advice and lead time.
