Chrome plated steel deep drawn tube bushings – deep-drawn walls for length, chrome for wear. Bushings like these serve as guides and spacers where the surface, not just the size, does the work.
Function and Design
What makes a tube bushing hard is repeatability – the hundredth piece has to match the first one. The tube bushing is produced to print, with the features that carry function inspected first.
Key Features
- Chrome plating adds a hard, bright, low-friction skin – applied after forming so it follows every contour.
- Volume pricing follows from in-house tooling and the long-run capacity behind it.
- Every batch is sampled against the verified first article.
- Material: carbon steel (SPCC / DC01 or to print), with mill certificate and heat-number traceability supplied with the first article.
- Process: tube drawing, straightening and finish turning in one flow for the tube bushing.
- Finish: hard chrome plating over the base coat – the finish is inspected with the dimensional report on the tube bushing first article.
- Size: To your print; dimensioned sketches can be advised before the tube bushing is quoted.
- Custom: OEM/ODM tube bushing work – first articles verified before production starts.
Applications
Typical applications include medical and food-grade devices, industrial gauge tubing, automotive sensor stems.
Our Production Advantage
Most of the difficulty in a tube bushing is invisible: wall consistency, concentricity, burr control. The tube bushing is checked against the drawing at each stage, not only at final inspection.
