Turned parts

What are turned parts?

Turned parts are machined parts formed by a manufacturing process called turning. The characteristic feature of these parts is their cylindrical shape resulting from the kinematics of the turning process, which involves cutting the rotating raw material to obtain the desired shape of the manufactured part.

Due to the great popularity of this manufacturing method, these parts are a very large group of components used in industry. These are all kinds of parts formed based on a rotating solid, such as shafts, bushings, rings, bolts, pins, and many others.

Turned parts manufacturing

The widespread use of turned parts in almost all industries means that their manufacturing process must, above all, be very efficient. For this reason, modern computer-controlled machine tools adapted to the specifics of these components are used to produce parts.

For the production of large-turned parts, machine tools called CNC turning centers are used. These machines are very versatile, allowing the machining of parts with complex geometries. For components of smaller size, automatic lathes prove more useful, allowing efficient manufacturing of small parts in automatic mode.

Turned parts manufacturing

When particularly tight dimensional tolerances are required of parts, standard manufacturing methods do not allow to achieve the desired accuracy while maintaining the dimensional repeatability of all parts in a production batch. In such cases, the following manufacturing methods are used:

  • Precision turning: a CNC turning process dedicated to manufacturing the most demanding parts, requiring tighter tolerances to ensure proper fit with other components
  • Turning on automatic machines: this is a parts manufacturing process characterized by high productivity, used to produce very small, complex parts. It is also essential for manufacturing long and slender components.

Applications

Turned parts are used in many industries where the alignment accuracy, dimensional repeatability, and excellent strength characteristics are required. These parts can be produced efficiently, making them a popular choice for engineers designing modern mechanisms and equipment.

With the development of technology in the construction of modern machine tools and cutting tools, the technical possibilities that are available in the manufacturing process of these parts are expanding. This makes these parts present in almost every field, and the most popular examples are:

Materials

Due to the great flexibility of the CNC turning process, a very wide range of available materials can be used for turned parts manufacturing. Manufacturers of modern cutting tools continue to push the limits of the possibilities in this regard. Now, all kinds of metals and their alloys, plastics, and composite materials can be machined.

In industrial practice, however, most materials used for turned parts manufacturing are metals and their alloys. This is due to the good susceptibility of metals to shaping by machining. Due to their unique material properties, the most common in the industry are:

Turned parts
  • Stainless steel turned parts – these are components used wherever parts need to be resistant to the environment in which they operate. They are crucial, especially in the medical, food, aerospace, and hydraulic sectors.
  • Brass turned parts – are commonly used where good electrical conductivity is important, so all kinds of electronic parts. Brass is also often used in the furniture industry because of its decorative and anti-corrosion properties.
  • Turned parts made of titanium – play a large role in biomedical engineering due to two main special characteristics of titanium: high mechanical strength and biological inertness. This makes it a material widely used for medical parts such as implants and bone screws.
