Operating in an environment with relative humidity as high as 80%, this precision-machined clevis was designed with material expansion firmly in mind. Increased moisture levels can cause the material to expand, reducing the bore size for press-fit bearings and introducing unwanted stress on the alignment shaft.
Leveraging Tungsten Engineering’s expertise in Design for Manufacture and assembly, we identified these risks early and applied additional machining allowances to ensure correct fitment under real operating conditions. The result is smooth assembly, maintained alignment, and reduced stress on critical components.
By preventing premature bearing and shaft wear, this approach extends equipment service life and delivers long-term cost savings for our clients.
