A canister shell with an integral wick tube, a two-level draw that forms the outer body and inner tube in one die set. Canister shells like this are used in vapor and fuel applications where the wick must stay centered – the drawn construction keeps alignment built-in.
Function and Design
Canister shell work is unforgiving: a few hundredths in the wrong place and the assembly will not go together. That is why the canister shell is inspected between operations, not only at the end.
Design Highlights
- Made to your drawing – this listing shows the family range.
- Batch consistency is built in: first article verified, production sampled to match.
- Material certs and dimensional reports come with the batch on request.
- Material: Material for the canister shell is carbon steel (SPCC / DC01 or to print); the final grade is fixed in writing at drawing review.
- Process: the canister shell is deep drawn, then deburred and finished on the second operation.
- Finish: Surface treatment is chosen for the duty the canister shell sees: plated, coated or natural per print.
- Size: Every dimension on the canister shell comes from your print – the page shows the family only.
- Custom: OEM/ODM to drawing; the canister shell is quoted from your print with material advice included.
Applications
Typical applications include battery and energy-storage components, automotive sensor and motor housings, lighting reflectors and covers.
Factory-Direct Advantage
Die servicing for the canister shell follows stroke count, which protects consistency mid-order. Blank size, lubrication and die condition are logged per run, so when your tenth order matches the first it is not a coincidence.
