Herd Manufacturing

Constructed from C1008-1010 cold rolled steel (CRS) and Grade 80 high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel, this metal base assembly was designed to be used as part of a cordless trim saw. We used CRS that was .085″ thick and HSLA that was .120″ thick. Using our metal stamping and assembly capabilities, we produced four different metal stamped parts and assembled them by welding and riveting the parts into one assembly. We also applied secondary processes such as tapping, projection welding, zinc plating and powder coating in a silver finish. The final assemblies are packaged in egg crate type packaging for protection and delivery to the customer’s facility.

This brake housing assembly was fabricated by stamping several components from C1008-1010 steel and assembling these parts with other machined parts by assembly with a robotic welder. The brake housing assembly had a material thickness of .120″. We finished the housing by zinc plating with yellow trichromate, and then the parts were layer packed and delivered to the customer’s facility in Ohio. Working from customer-supplied drawings, we kept our manufacturing tolerances to ±.010″.

In the manufacture of this brush holder, we maintained stamping tolerances to ±.002″. Close tolerance in the manufacture of this part was important as the brush mechanism is the key to conducting electrical current to the shaft. We are ISO 9001:2015 certified and can handle both progressive and compound stamping. To learn more about the services Herd has to offer, please contact us or see the table below.
