Custom Aluminum Hex Flanged Step Bushing With Flat Face

Product Description:

We offering Custom Aluminum Hex Flanged Step Bushing With Flat Face is a cold heading machine products from Qimao Metal Manufacturer, that does two things: it spaces components and it provides a locating reference. The hex shape is the first thing you’ll notice. We put that in specifically because round bushings can be a pain to tighten or remove, especially when you’re working in a tight spot and can’t get a good grip. The flange at the bottom serves as a stop during installation, and it spreads the load across the mounting surface rather than concentrating it around the bore. The flat face is something we pay attention to. If it’s not square to the bore, the bushing will sit at an angle and throw off your alignment. We use 6061 aluminum for these. It’s not the hardest material out there, but it strikes a good balance between strength and weight for most industrial applications. The step section is where we do most of the customization—we change the reduced diameter and the step length to match whatever you’re working with.

A few more specifics on what we control during production. The Custom Aluminum Hex Flanged Step Bushing With Flat Face across is cut to standard wrench sizes, so our customer can grab a standard wrench and get to work. The flange thickness and step geometry are adjustable. If you need a thicker flange for heavier loads, we can do that. If you need a longer step to reach through a thicker mounting plate, that’s also doable. On the bore, we hold about ±0.01 mm. That’s tight enough to give you a consistent fit without being so tight that you have to force the pin in. We check face flatness with a dial indicator during the run. If there’s any wobble, we catch it. We also offer anodizing—clear or black—if you need extra corrosion protection. That said, a lot of our customers just run them raw, and we haven’t heard complaints about rust since aluminum doesn’t really have that problem

Product Feature:

• Custom Aluminum Hex Flanged Step Bushing With Flat Face profile cold heading machined to standard wrench flats. This lets you tighten and remove the bushing without it spinning, which is a common frustration with round parts。

• Integral flange that acts as a positive stop. No need for separate washers or spacers. It also spreads axial loads over a larger area, so you don’t get localized stress on your mounting plate.

• Flat face cold heading machined square to the bore. This ensures full surface contact when seated, so the bushing doesn’t rock under load.

• Step geometry is where we usually do the most customization. Step diameter, step length, flange thickness, overall length—we can tweak any of these to fit your fixture or machine design.

Product Application:

• Jig and fixture building – The Custom Aluminum Hex Flanged Step Bushing With Flat Face mainly as locating stops or support posts. Anywhere you need a part to stay put while other operations happen.

• Assembly line tooling – the hex profile is a big plus here. Operators can wrench it on and off without fighting a spinning bushing. Saves time on changeovers.

• Machine maintenance and equipment building – used as spacers or standoffs, where you need a consistent gap between components. More reliable than stacking washers, according to one maintenance supervisor we work with.
