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.

- Deep Drawing vs Press Forming: How to Choose | BalfordBalford runs both routes in house. It is the wrong supplier when the part needs more than 350 t or a draw above Ø250 mm, when US or EU origin is mandatory, or when an IATF 16949 certificate is required rather than alignment. Inter-stage annealing is outsourced and declared. 7. What Balford ca...

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
Need a DFM feasibility assessment for your project?
Send the engineering drawing (STEP or PDF) with the material grade, thickness and annual volume. Balford engineers then check it against the process window - draw ratio, wall thickness, tolerances, blank and tooling route - and come back with what is feasible and what is not. An answer on this page cannot replace that review.
