This robust mounting bracket is engineered for heavy-duty machinery applications. Manufactured from high-grade Stainless Steel 304, it is designed to withstand vibration, environmental stress, and high loads. This part exemplifies our sheet metal stamping capabilities, offering consistent quality for high-volume orders.
| Material | Stainless Steel 304 |
| Thickness | 2.0 mm |
| Process | Progressive Die Stamping / Bending |
| Tolerance | ±0.1mm |
| Finish | Brushed / Deburred |
For high efficiency, we utilize a progressive die setup. The steel strip is fed through multiple stations where cutting, punching, and bending occur sequentially with each press stroke.
The U-shape geometry is formed with controlled spring-back compensation to ensure the dimensions remain within tolerance after release.
All stamped parts undergo a tumbling process to remove sharp edges, ensuring safety during handling and installation.
Stamping ensures that the 10,000th part is identical to the first, perfect for automated assembly lines.
SS304 material provides excellent rust protection, suitable for outdoor or harsh industrial environments.
Once the tooling is made, the unit price drops significantly compared to laser cutting or machining.
The surface features a brushed finish that hides scratches and looks professional.
QQ1: What if I only need a few prototypes before opening a mold?
A1: We can use Laser Cutting and CNC Bending to produce prototypes without expensive tooling costs.
QQ2: What represents the biggest cost in stamping?
A: The initial tooling (mold) cost. However, this is a one-time investment that pays off in low unit costs for volume production.
QQ3: What is the max thickness you can stamp?
A3: We can stamp stainless steel up to 6mm thick, depending on the part geometry and press tonnage required.
QWhat materials can be used for custom mounting brackets besides Stainless Steel 304?
In addition to SS304, we commonly work with SS316, mild steel, galvanized steel, aluminum alloys, and copper. Material selection depends on your application environment, load requirements, and budget.
QWhat is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for stamped mounting brackets?
MOQ varies depending on part complexity and tooling requirements. For progressive die stamping, typical MOQ starts at 1,000 pieces per run. Please contact us with your specific project details for a tailored recommendation.
QHow long does it take to produce a new stamping mold (tooling)?
Standard tooling lead time is approximately 2–4 weeks depending on part complexity. After mold approval, mass production can begin within days. We recommend submitting your DFM review early to avoid delays.
QCan you achieve a tolerance tighter than ±0.1mm for critical dimensions?
Yes, for certain critical features, tolerances as tight as ±0.05mm can be achieved through fine blanking or secondary CNC machining operations. This will be evaluated during the DFM review stage.
QWhat surface finish options are available for the mounting bracket?
Standard options include brushed finish and deburring. We can also accommodate electropolishing, passivation, powder coating, zinc plating, and anodizing depending on your corrosion and aesthetic requirements.
QDo you provide quality inspection reports with each shipment?
Yes. We provide full dimensional inspection reports, material certifications (mill certs), and, upon request, third-party inspection or PPAP documentation to ensure every batch meets your specifications.
