316 Stainless Steel Metering Valve Stem

Ostec Industries has built a strong reputation for delivering high quality products, on time and well priced. Our capacity to machine small, intricate, and precise parts makes us a favored supplier for customers in the medical industry. We fabricated the metering stem shown here for use in an oxygen regulator component.

CNC Swiss machining was the ideal choice for machining this part - the fine details and intricate features could be achieved with a single setup. Working with 316 stainless steel, we machined this precision machined component, deburred to remove any stray particulate, then ground it to a smooth 16 RMS finish. Our computer-controlled equipment and expert technicians enabled us to machine this part, which featured dimensions of Ø 0.190 and 5.505" in length, to within precise Ø 0.0485/0.0475 tolerances. At each step of the process, dimensional, visual, and gage inspections verified part geometry was within the customers drawing specifications.

Manufactured in a quantity of 150,000, we shipped the parts according to our customer’s just-in-time delivery requirements. The outstanding quality would ensure reliable operation in the critical medical device. For more information about this project or our precision CNC Swiss turning services, contact us today.
