As Machined

After shake-out, trimming, and cleaning, the housing casting is checked for dimensional tolerances and prepared for two finishing operations --

  • Non-Destructive Evaluation - Brinell Hardness testing

  • Machining -- Mill the bottom of the base plate and turn the cylinder ID’s for the bearing pockets.
