Deep drawing
What is the maximum deep draw diameter and press capacity?
Answer
Frequently asked questions What is your maximum press tonnage? Press capacity at Balford runs up to 350 t, which covers deep drawn housings and stamped parts where the required forming force is set by the draw ratio, material grade and wall thickness. What is the largest diameter you can deep draw? Maximum deep draw diameter is Ø250 mm.

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.
