The product shown here, a steel plunger cap, which was designed for use within an internal combustion engine, in an automotive application. The parts where constructed of C1018 steel, manufacturing required precision cold heading which we performed on our four station nut former.This project required both precision and high speed manufacturing in order to maintain the customer's specifications. The part measured .309" in length, with an outside diameter of .594", and an inside diameter of .135", and featured a natural finish. The customers design specifications required maintaining tolerances of .001", with true positioning of .005", and perpendicularity of .001". Quality was maintained with dimensional testing throughout the 6 million part manufacturing run that we perform annually. For more information on this product, see the table below or contact us directly.

The flat head shoulder rivet shown here was designed for use within an electronics application as an interface switch components. Manufacturing to the customers supplied specifications required the use of our 316" National one die, two blow cold header capabilities. The rivet was composed of 430 stainless steel, and measured .708" in length, with an outside head diameter of .475". We performed dimensional testing throughout the run to maintain the .0005" dimensional tolerances required by the customer. The finished product was then passivated and shipped to our customer in Chicago, Illinois in annual orders of 250, 000.

This pin is used within a plastic wheel which is an integral part of a conveyor system.A customer in the conveyor industry was in need of a pin which was to be an integral part of their conveyor systems. The size of the pin and volume required dictated that cold forming be performed on our " one die, two blow National cold header. The customer supplied drawing called out for the use of 1022 steel and required dimensions of 1.028" in length, with an outside diameter of .1720". Featuring zinc plating, it also required tolerances of .001" for each annual run of 12 million pins. To learn more about this project, or the rest of our cold heading and plating capabilities, see the table below or contact us directly.

At Chase Fasteners, Inc., we have over 60 years of experience manufacturing precision cold formedcold headed parts. Our 6-die, 7-station parts formers can handle production volumes from 10, 000 to over a million pieces. We can also work with you to create prototypes if desired.We apply our cold formingcold heading processes to stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and other materials. Cold formedcold headed parts can be finished in zinc, black oxide, or any of a wide variety of other platings and finishes. We can manufacture parts as small as 0.048 in diameter, up to 1 in diameter and up to 4 in length. Where sealant is required, we rely on Loctite to ensure high quality. We adhere to strict quality control methods, including Statistical Process Control (SPC), and we work to PPAP Level 3, were also a ISO 9001:2008 certified company.At Chase Fasteners, Inc., we provide service to customers in the medical industry, the aerospace industry, and many other fields. We have fabricated everything from valves and weld screws to thread cutting screws and shoulder rivets. Packaging and bar coding services are also available, as well as slotters and rollers, centerless grinding, and many other capabilities.For more information about our precision cold formedcold headed parts fabrication capabilities, or our other services, please contact Chase Fasteners, Inc.

A furniture industry customer in the Southern United States needed a project that required high volume cold heading to create this steel flat head shoulder rivet. Used in a furniture application the customer's specifications called out the use of C1008 steel, with a natural finish.The rivets measured .650" in length, with an outside head diameter of .610", and had to meet tolerances of .001", along with a circular runout of .010".Manufacturing was performed on our 516" National, one die, two blow cold header. This high speed capability allows us to produce such product in orders of 25 million, while maintaining all of the customer's specifications for size and tolerances. To learn more about this project or about the rest of our cold heading capabilities, see the table below or contact us directly.

This steel body blank is used within an internal combustion engine application The project shown here is a body blank which was designed for use within an internal combustion engine. Used in a lawn and garden application, manufacturing required the use of several processes. The body was formed on our five die, six station multi blow progressive cold header. After forming the outside diameter was ground to a diameter of .8438", with a .8 Ra finish.This part is composed of C1018 steel with a finished size of 3.043" in length. All components were within tolerances of +.0000"-.0008", and a straightness requirement of .0003". Other tolerances met were circularity of .0003", and circular runout of .007". All tolerances were maintained through rigorous dimensional testing. This component is produced in volumes of 400, 000 pieces per year for our customer in China.

This steel socket is used within an internal combustion engine applicationThe item shown here was manufactured for an automotive customer in Aguascalientes, Mexico. Designed for use within an internal combustion engine for the automotive industry, they required the manufacturing of 300, 000 of these parts per year. The supplied drawing called out for the use of 1018 steel, with a natural finish. The part was cold formed on our five die, six station multi blow progressive cold header to dimensions of .569" in length, with an outside diameter of .622". A secondary process required the drilling of two holes.All of the parts where subject to rigorous quality control to maintain the tolerances of .001", flatness of .002", circular runout of .002", and circularity of .001".
