Swiss machining’s moving headstock technology minimizes deflection during production, enabling unmatched precision for inserts and bushings.
Key advantages:
Surface Finish: Mirror-polished bushings (Ra ≤0.1μm) reduce friction in hydraulic systems.
Material Versatility: Machined from 316L stainless steel (ASTM A276), titanium (Ti-6Al-4V), and PEEK (FDA-compliant).
Thermal Stability: Inconel 718 inserts withstand 700°C in automotive turbochargers.
Material | Applications | Key Properties |
316L Stainless | Food processing valves, marine hardware | Corrosion resistance, USDA compliance |
Ti-6Al-4V | Orthopedic implants, aerospace actuators | Biocompatible, 40% lighter than steel |
PEEK | Semiconductor tooling, MRI components | Electrically insulating, chemical inert |
Medical:
Implantable Bushings: Ti-6Al-4V with electropolished surfaces (ASTM F136) for joint replacements.
Surgical Robotics: PEEK bushings with ±0.002mm concentricity for robotic arm actuators.
Automotive:
EV Battery Inserts: Inconel 625 bushings for thermal management systems (tested to 1,000+ cycles).
Fuel Injection: 17-4PH stainless steel inserts with honed ID surfaces for high-pressure sealing.

FAQ
Q: What tolerances can you hold for press-fit bushings?
A: ±0.002mm ID/OD tolerances for interference fits in automotive and industrial applications.
Q: Can you machine bushings with internal lubrication channels?
A: Yes. Our Wire EDM creates channels as narrow as 0.08mm with Ra 0.4µm finishes.
Q: Do you provide RoHS-compliant inserts for electronics?
A: Absolutely. Ultem® and Vespel® inserts meet RoHS 3 and REACH standards.
