Solenoid Valve Components Manufacturer
From deep drawing to precision machining — Balford manufactures valve housings, sleeves, frames, caps and washers for hydraulic and industrial solenoid valve manufacturers worldwide. Production follows ISO 9001:2015 with IATF 16949-aligned quality controls quality management on a 12,000 m² facility with 500+ machines.
Why Balford for Solenoid Valve Components
- Consistent wall thickness for magnetic performance and sealing. Deep drawing maintains dimensional consistency across complex valve geometries — wall thickness, concentricity and repeatability are controlled through tooling design and in-process inspection.
- Material range matched to the application. Low-carbon steel for magnetic circuits, stainless steel (304/305/316) for corrosion resistance, plus brass and aluminium — material grade is reviewed with you before tooling.
- ISO 9001:2015 with IATF 16949-aligned quality controls quality management, with PPAP-aligned documentation, FAI reports and material certifications available on request.
- Secondary operations in-house: machining, surface finishing and assembly support for finished valve components.

FAQ
Commonly stainless steel, low-carbon steel and brass, selected by application (corrosion, magnetic circuit, pressure). Balford reviews the material grade with you before tooling.
Yes — wall thickness, concentricity and dimensional repeatability are controlled through tooling design and in-process inspection on the deep drawing line.
Yes. Prototype and sample tooling is available before committing to production tooling, with a DFM review provided on your drawings.
Yes. Send the drawing, material specification and estimated annual volume — we review the manufacturing details and confirm the next steps.
Have a technical drawing for a solenoid valve component?
Send it to us for a detailed quote with a DFM review. We will review material, tolerances, forming requirements and production volume before quoting.
The component behind most solenoid valve performance problems is the housing — see solenoid valve housing manufacturing.
