Product Announcements: Powder Metal Services

A customer that makes ultra low friction pneumatic pistons and cylinder motion dampers needed a mounting cap that would expand at the same rate as the Pyrex cylinder the cap is bonded to. The part also required a thread to be machined on the O.D. of the stand off. Perry Tool and Research suggested using a powdered metal version of Invar 36, which is a nickel steel alloy notable for its... (read more)

Adapting MIM process for your parts in current production or going into production in the near future could result in large cost savings and gain a lot of peace of mind. Hundreds of parts are now designed to take advantage of MIM process right at the drawing board. (read more)

Download the brochure to know more about Metal Injection Molding(MIM) and Easea.

Metal Injection Molding(MIM) is an advanced technology, which allows complex and intricate parts to be produced in high-volume at a low cost. MIM technology integrates the shape making capabilities of plastic injection molding with the material flexibility of powder metallurgy. It's an unique technolo... (read more)

Download the MIM material list from Easea.

MIM applications are ideally suited for components that are relatively complex, very small, and will be produced in large quantities, at the same time requiring high strength, high performance and cost efficiency.
1. Complexity. The components can be created with complex-geometry features such as cross-drilled holes, threads and thi... (read more)

The powder metal compacting process makes the manufacturing of a cluster gear with a straight knurl counter bore simple and very economical.

A customer manufacturing a control mechanism required a metal cluster gear that would combine a power gear with a pinion gear. The gear was designed so that a plastic beariing component could be pressed into the knurled counter bore o... (read more)

As a component of a print head for a 36" engineering printer/scanner/copier used to produce large 36" x 52" documents, this part needed to travel linearly in a traverse motion up to 36 inches with minimal friction. The unique c-shape of the part also required a manufacturing process that would ensure the part retained its shape to tight tolerances. The nature of powder metal compacting m... (read more)

A manufacturer of gaming machines switched from mechanical lever slot machines to new push button electronic slot machines. They didn't realize that people enjoyed the excitement generated by pulling down the lever handle of the slot machine and the sound it made. Orders for the new slot machines were dropping off because people were not using them as much. (read more)

A manufacturer required a new part for a high-speed microwave switch. The part was similar to previous parts that Perry Tool and Research had manufactured for them with very good results. As initially designed, however, this new part would require some very expensive tooling and the reliability would be less than 100%.

To eliminate the need for costly tooling, Perry Tool suggested ... (read more)
