Automotive
We produce deep-drawn and stamped components for automotive OEM and Tier suppliers, where dimensional consistency and material traceability matter as much as unit cost. Parts run under process controls suited to automotive quality expectations, with full material certification on request.
- ABS & wheel-speed sensor housings
- Solenoid valve housings and coil cans
- Motor end caps and claw poles
- Valve-train spring seats, cups & retainers
Solenoid / Valve
Solenoid and valve components live and die on wall-thickness consistency and magnetic-material behavior. Our deep drawing lines hold tight concentricity on thin-wall cans and sleeves, with in-house annealing where the application calls for it.
- Solenoid coil housings & magnetic sleeves
- Valve body caps and end closures
- Thin-wall drawn cans, annealed to spec
- Precision washers & retaining rings
HVAC & Refrigeration
Compressor and refrigerant-circuit parts need leak-tight drawn geometry and corrosion-appropriate material selection. We deep draw and finish components to hold pressure and seal integrity across the part's service life.
- Compressor housings & end shells
- Refrigerant fitting bodies & caps
- Heat exchanger headers and covers
- Sensor & thermostat housings
Hydraulics
Hydraulic components run at pressure, so wall integrity and surface finish carry directly into the customer's own test spec. We draw and machine parts to hold roundness and finish that pass on-line pressure testing without secondary rework.
- Cylinder end caps & closures
- Valve body shells and sleeves
- Fitting bodies for hydraulic lines
- Precision-machined mating faces
Electronics
Electronics parts run small, thin, and in volume. We hold tight tolerance on shallow-draw shielding cans and connector housings, with plating and finishing options matched to EMI and conductivity requirements.
- EMI/RF shielding cans
- Connector & contact housings
- Battery cell caps & enclosures
- Micro-drawn brass & copper parts
Industrial Equipment
Machinery builders need drawn and stamped parts that hold up under repeated mechanical load and don't vary batch to batch. We produce structural housings and brackets sized for both prototype runs and steady OEM production.
- Machine housings & equipment covers
- Structural brackets & mounting plates
- Drawn enclosures for control equipment
- Custom parts to drawing or sample
Robotics & Automation
Robot and automation builders need motor and actuator parts that repeat within tight tolerances. We stamp and deep draw claw poles, motor end caps, thin-wall sleeves and controller base plates with the tooling discipline that keeps long runs consistent.
- Claw poles & claw-pole stators for stepper / PM motors
- DC motor end caps & covers
- Thin-wall rotor & isolation sleeves
- Anti-vibration bushings & actuator frames
UAV & Drones
Weight is the enemy of flight time. Balford deep draws thin-wall aluminum parts down to 0.35 mm walls and stamps precision motor and sensor components for UAV and drone platforms, with DFM review before tooling.
- Thin-wall deep-drawn aluminum tubing & sleeves
- Brushless motor end caps, claw poles & rotor sleeves
- Sensor housings & protective covers
- Fine-blanked washers, shims & brackets
