Stainless sleeve tubes with reduced-diameter tips – the tip is swaged or drawn down so the sensing point responds faster and inserts easier. The step is smooth and the bore continuous, so the element still seats fully home.
Function and Design
The sleeve tube is judged by the dimension nobody checks until a failure – fit, seal or concentricity. Sleeve tube repeatability is designed in through dedicated tooling and recorded settings.
Key Features
- The reduced tip puts less metal between media and element, which is exactly how response time gets faster without thinning the whole body.
- Stainless construction shrugs off washdown, humidity and process media without plating to chip or scratch through.
- Batch-to-batch consistency comes from the verified first article and sampling.
- Material: Stock stainless steel (304 / 316) is the default for this sleeve tube; other grades are quoted after the drawing review.
- Process: deep drawn sleeve tube body with in-die piercing, sealing faces finished by turning.
- Finish: Natural, plated or coated to drawing – the sleeve tube finish is approved in writing before production.
- Size: To your print; dimensioned sketches can be advised before the sleeve tube is quoted.
- Custom: OEM/ODM to print: the sleeve tube quotation includes material advice and tooling cost.
Applications
Typical applications include industrial process instrumentation, HVAC and refrigeration sensors, household appliance thermometers.
Our Production Advantage
First articles are pressure- and dimension-checked before release. First articles are dimension-checked and pressure-tested, and production is sampled against the approved part.
