Housing Machining FAQ
What materials are best for CNC machined housings?
The choice depends on application. Aluminium 6061-T6 is ideal for lightweight housings with good machinability and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel 316 or 304 is preferred for corrosive or food-contact environments. Steel 4140 provides maximum strength for high-pressure applications. Titanium and PEEK are used for aerospace and medical devices where weight and chemical resistance are critical. We recommend your material based on your application requirements.
What tolerances can you hold on housing bores and faces?
Standard CNC machining on housings achieves ±0.05mm on general features and bore diameters. High-precision work with bore honing achieves ±0.01mm or better. Face parallelism and perpendicularity are typically held to 0.05mm on a 100mm reference. For bearing bores and critical seal surfaces, we can hold H7 or tighter fits as specified on your engineering drawing.
Can you manufacture sealed housings for waterproof applications?
Yes. We design and machine housings with integrated seal grooves, O-ring pockets, and labyrinth seals for IP67 and IP68 rated designs. Material selection (316 stainless for marine, aluminium with anodise for freshwater) and surface finish (passivation, polishing) are matched to your environment. We work with your engineer to ensure proper sealing and can supply housings complete with seal kits if required.
What is the typical lead time for custom housings?
Simple housings with standard materials typically quote and ship within 5–10 business days. Complex geometries with tight tolerances or material certifications may take 10–15 business days. Expedite options are available for urgent requirements. Lead time is confirmed in your formal quote.
Can you machine complex internal features in housings?
Yes. Our 5-axis CNC equipment handles complex internal passages, cavities, and cooling channels. Internal threads, intersecting bores, and complex geometry are all achievable in a single setup. We use advanced CAM simulation to optimise tool paths and verify your design before machining begins.
Do you offer prototyping for housing designs?
Yes. We specialise in prototype housings. Single-off parts are quoted and delivered quickly — typically at the same lead time as production runs due to the speed of CNC machining. Prototype housings can be made in the same material and finish as production, so you can test fit, function, and performance on day one.
