Stainless steel connecting sleeves/joints for automotive precision parts are core parts for precise connection and stable support of components in automotive power transmission, steering and braking systems. They are made of high-quality stainless steel materials such as 304 and 316L, and are manufactured through precision machining on CNC lathes, cold extrusion molding and polishing processes. Most of them are hollow tubular or stepped shafts, with an inner hole that has an interference fit with shaft parts, and external structures such as threads, slots, and sealing grooves, which are suitable for drive shafts, steering knuckles, brake calipers and other components of different specifications.
Core advantages | Technical highlights | Application value |
Super corrosion resistance | 316L austenitic stainless steel is selected, with a molybdenum content of ≥2%, and no rust after more than 2000 hours of salt spray test | Applicable to coastal and high humidity areas and automobile chassis and brake systems that are exposed to rain, snow, and cleaning agents for a long time, extending the service life of components |
High load-bearing and low wear | Tensile strength ≥520MPa, surface nitrided, hardness up to HV700, with precision ground inner hole (roughness Ra≤0.4μm) | Stable transmission of high torque power of engines and gearboxes, reducing friction loss between shafts and sleeves, and reducing maintenance costs |
High precision adaptability | Dimensional tolerance is controlled at ±0.008mm, cylindrical error ≤0.003mm, and customized interface design is supported | Accurately match the installation requirements of different models and different components to ensure zero gap assembly and improve system transmission efficiency |
Excellent high and low temperature performance | Working temperature range - 50℃ to 180℃, dimensional stability error <0.01% in extreme environments | Adapt to extremely cold and high temperature climates to ensure stable performance of automobiles in scenes such as northern snow and high temperature in deserts |
Lightweight and high strength | Thin-wall design is adopted, which reduces weight by 25% compared with traditional carbon steel sleeves while maintaining the same strength | Help to make automobiles lighter, reduce fuel consumption, and improve control flexibility |
