Engineering and DFM Guidance for Motion-Control Parts
We collaborate early to stabilize performance and cost while protecting critical function.
Datum Strategy and Stack-Up
- Define functional datums tied to the assembly path (e.g., bearing-seat axis to mounting face)
- Minimize datum transfers by grouping related features into single setups
Tolerance Allocation
- Reserve tight tolerances for functional surfaces (bearing bores, rail lands, dowel interfaces)
- Apply GD&T (position, runout, parallelism, perpendicularity, flatness) to control function, not non-critical profiles
Fits and Finishes
- Bearing seats: specify class of fit and roundness/cylindricity; we typically grind or finish-bore to final size
- Sliding ways: call out flatness/parallelism and Ra; confirm orientation of lay
- Sealing surfaces: define flatness and surface finish; avoid unnecessary surface treatments that affect seal friction
Feature Design
- Add thread reliefs and undercuts for full-thread engagement on hard alloys
- Use generous corner radii (≥ R0.5 where function allows); minimum internal corner radius R0.3 mm
- For thin walls (≥ 0.5 mm), add ribs or machining allowances for stress relief
Materials and Treatments
- 17-4 PH: specify condition (e.g., H1025) and dimensional strategy across heat treat and finish-grind stages
- Duplex/316L: consider passivation and galling mitigation for threads/fits
- Titanium/Nickel alloys: plan for lower MRR, stable fixturing, and potential post-machining stress relief
Cleanliness, Burr Control and Repeatability
- Specify critical edges to break vs. protect; define deburr/cleaning level for cleanroom or vacuum use
- Approve a stable process route via FAI; document special processes and gage strategy for repeat production
