Overview of other connection solutions
In addition to cold-formed parts, OEB supplies a broad spectrum of fasteners – from machined turned parts to threaded studs and screws according to drawings. The right solution for every assembly task.
Cold-formed parts individually tailored to your requirements
Do you need a molded part that can be economically manufactured in high quantities – with complex geometry, high dimensional accuracy and precise function? OEB develops and produces cold-formed parts exactly according to your specifications. Whether as a ready-to-use component or as a blank for subsequent machining: We combine cold forming and precision technology for maximum economic efficiency. Typical individualizations:
- Geometries according to drawing or sample
- Material selection: steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, aluminum
- Thread forms: metric, imperial or special threads
- End machining as desired (shoulder, shaft slot, pin, etc.)
- Surface: galvanized, chromated, coated, documented according to VDA or PPAP
Materials & Standards
