What wall thickness should a deep drawn sensor housing use?
Answer
What is a metal sensor housing? A sensor housing is the drawn or stamped metal shell that protects the sensing element and holds the press-fit, weld or threaded interface to the assembly. Balford produces deep drawn and stamped sensor housings with controlled wall thickness, burr, surface and concentricity. Which materials do you use for oxygen, NOx and exhaust temperature sensor housings?

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.
