Metal Housing for Hydraulic Cartridge Valve
By controlling the negative clearance between the die and punch, we force the raw material to thin predictably, holding both the outer and inner diameters within spec. This also gives you a clean, consistent surface finish on the OD—no secondary machining needed.




Case Review
Balford builds precision valve and pump components using progressive die stamping and deep draw tooling. A large share of our parts are made for high-pressure, zero-leak systems, and we run them in stainless steel and other alloys. We're always adding new part numbers, so if you've got a specific application, send it our way.
Applications:
- Housings for electromagnetically actuated hydraulic cartridge valves used in electrohydraulic control systems.
Features:
- Custom housings available on request.
- Stamping options for both switching and proportional valve models.
- Tooling is typically tailored to your print and performance requirements.
