Parts and applications

Can you produce battery cases and energy storage housings?

Answer

Temperature Sensor Housings for Coolant and Battery Thermal Management A temperature sensor housing is the metal shell that holds the sensing element and seals it against the medium it measures — engine coolant in a combustion vehicle, or battery coolant in an electric one. Balford draws copper temperature sensor housings in multi-stage progressive dies: blank, draw, redraw, bore and trim run in one continuous tool, so the wall is formed without a longitudinal weld. Where the Same Housing Ends Up: Two Coolant Circuits The part looks similar in both cases, but the application decides the material, wall thickness and sealing method.

What an engineer still needs from you

  • material and material condition (grade, temper)
  • material thickness, plus the key diameter, height and wall thickness
  • tolerances, burr direction and the visual acceptance standard
  • annual volume - it decides whether tooling is single-hit, progressive or transfer
  • surface finish, and any secondary machining, annealing or plating
Next step. Send the drawing for a manufacturability review, or send the part data for a process and cost route.
