Past Projects
Deerfield Machine, a specialist in the manufacture of precision machine parts, was asked by one of their many customers in the automotive industry to manufacture steel pivot pins for an air pump. Deerfield Machine’s expertise ranges from CNC custom machining, milling, and turning, through contract manufacturing, so they were more than up to the task. Deerfield Machine’s staff is skilled in the CNC turning of cylindrical components to tight tolerances. Their operators were able to consistently deliver these 8620 steel pivot pins in optimum cycle times on Deerfield’s CNC turning center. Outside diameter grinding to an exacting dimension of 0.3753" was then accomplished on the company’s centerless grinder. The pivot pins were heat treated, case hardening them to 59-63 Rc and enabling them to withstand the types of rugged conditions encountered in this automotive application. Tight tolerances of ±0.0002" were realized throughout the manufacturing process, and the surface finish was held to between three to five microns.
Personalized customer service, complete alignment with customer specifications, and rigorous quality control once again led to a satisfied Deerfield Machine customer. Contact them today to learn more about their precision manufacturing services.
