CNC Turned Milled Wheelchair Parts Aluminum Stainless Steel Nylon High Precision
Common Wheelchair Components and Their Processing Technology
1. Turning
Turning is mainly used for machining rotationally symmetric parts, suitable for cylindrical or disc-shaped parts.
Common Applications:
Wheel Axles: Wheelchairs typically require high-precision turning to ensure compatibility with the wheel hub and bearings.
Bearing Seat: precision turning to ensure the installation accuracy and durability of the bearing.
Foot Pedal Shaft: Turning is used to manufacture the rotating shaft of the foot pedal.
Connecting Rod: Some cylindrical connecting rods require turning processing.
2. Milling
Milling is used for machining flat, groove, hole, and complex shaped components, suitable for non rotationally symmetric parts.
Common Applications:
Frame Connectors: Wheelchair frame connectors typically require CNC milling to ensure installation accuracy and strength.
Seat Bracket: The complex shape and installation holes require milling processing.
Brake Components: such as brake levers and calipers, typically require milling to achieve complex shapes and high precision.
3. Drilling
Drilling is used to process installation holes or connection holes on components.
Common Applications:
Frame Hole Position: The installation holes on the wheelchair frame need to be drilled.
Seat Adjustment Hole: a hole used to adjust the position of the seat.
Armrest Installation Hole: The fixed hole position of the armrest.
4. Boring
Boring is used to machine high-precision inner holes, usually for the installation of bearings or shafts.
Common Applications:
Inner Hole of Wheel Hub: Ensure precise matching between the wheel axle and the wheel hub.
Bearing Installation Holes: High precision bearing seats require boring machining.
5. Grinding
Grinding is used for high-precision and high-quality surface machining of components.
Common Applications:
Wheel Axle Surface: Improve the surface smoothness and accuracy of the wheel axle through grinding.
Brake Disc: Grinding is used to ensure the flatness and braking effect of the brake disc.
