Product Announcements: Powder Metal Services

Our service begins by working with you on the design of the actual part, to maximize both its performance and ease of manufacture. There are many options available to the user of powdered metal: alloy selection, machining, heat treat, steam treat, resin impregnation, and plating to name a few. Our engineering services will help you construct a processing plan that economically delivers the ... (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)

An office equipment manufacturer needed to be able to place two bearings in a piece of equipment in close proximity to other parts. The problem was that the bearings were too small to hold enough oil to lubricate the bearings for the entire life of the product. (read more)

The Powder Metal Process gives you the flexibility to produce a gear to your exact design specifications. By choosing the Powder Metal Process a manufacturer of gear drives was able to design a segment gear that reduced the cost of the part by eliminating extra material that would be lost to machining.
