Case Review
The hydraulic spring seat holds a spring inside a hydraulic assembly, so the internal depth must be consistent and the outer/inner R angles must stay small — in some cases nearly square. Balford achieves this with a stamping + drawing sequence, then verifies depth and radius with inspection.
Part & Production Facts
- Application: hydraulic valve/assembly spring seat
- Process: stamping + drawing; internal depth and R-angle controlled
- Small outer and inner R angles, close to square where the drawing requires
- Dimensions produced to the customer drawing
