Data Sheet - clips/pressings
We have production facilities to manufacture a large range of components from
flat and square section material. These facilities include multislide, power
presses, special purpose and standard tooling.
 Clips and pressings can be manufactured from a wide range
of materials to suit their design and functional requirements.
We can manufacture components from:
- Carbon and Stainless Steels
- Beryllium - Copper
- Phosphor - Bronze
- Brass
- Aluminium
- Copper
- Nickel Base Alloys
Annealed carbon steels are relatively easy to form but usually require
hardening and tempering after forming, this may cause distortion of thin or
complex components. Carbon steels may also require corrosive protection i.e:
plating or oiling. Stainless steels avoid the need for corrosion protection and
hardening and tempering. Bi-directional bends in stainless steel are limited due
to grain direction within the material.
Conventional blanking operations may form a burr which can be removed by
mechanical deburring operations. Small or delicate components may not lend
themselves to this type of process, and consideration needs to be given at the
design stage to the effects burrs might have on the function of the
component.
We do have experience in the force testing of flat springs using jigs and
fixtures. Calculations of force is a very lengthy process and in many cases
force requirements can only be verified by prototype production and testing. We
have specialised personnel able to produce small sample batches of components
ready for testing before resorting to the production of expensive tooling for
bulk production.
We suggest that you contact our technical department for advice before
commencing any project that involves the use of clips and pressings.
 Packaging:
Components can be supplied in a variety of packaging or to customers specific
requirements.
