Servo Motor Housing Shell Aluminum 5-Axis CNC Machined 0.01mm Fit Grade Part

Custom 5-Axis CNC Aluminum Motor Housing / Servo Motor Shell

This custom CNC machined aluminum motor housing is produced as a complete servo motor shell for OEM drive systems. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum on 4-axis and 5-axis CNC machining centers, the part combines multi-direction internal cavities, several flange mounting ears and two precision bearing bores in a single component. As a China CNC machining factory serving global B2B buyers since 2008, we deliver this housing as a custom machined metal part from prototype to mass production, with dimensional tolerance held to ±0.01mm and a stable, repeatable lead time.

Material & Machining Specifications

Manufacturing Process

1. Material cutting: aluminum bar or block is cut with machining allowance reserved for each face.
2. 5-axis rough machining: the bulk of the stock is removed and the outer profile, internal cavity and flange mounting ears are roughed out.
3. Semi-finishing: mounting faces, side holes and tapped pilot holes are machined with finishing allowance left for the final pass.
4. 5-axis finishing: bearing step bores are fine-bored, sealing faces fine-milled, threads tapped, and the multi-direction irregular cavity is formed. All critical features are completed in one clamping to avoid the position error caused by repeated setups - this is the key process challenge of this part.
5. Deburring and ultrasonic cleaning: tool marks and burrs are removed, and residual aluminum chips and cutting oil are flushed out of the internal cavity.
6. Surface treatment: clear anodizing, hard anodizing or high-gloss polishing as required.
7. Inspection: CMM, micrometer and bore gauge are used to verify coaxiality and dimensional tolerances before packing.
8. Packing: PE bag, pearl wool and export carton, or customer-specified packaging.

Why This Housing Requires 5-Axis Machining

• Multi-directional cavities and flange ears: the staggered cavities and multiple mounting lugs cannot be completed on a 3-axis machine in one setup, so 5-axis simultaneous machining is mandatory.
• Bearing bore coaxiality: the coaxiality of the internal bearing bores directly determines rotation smoothness and noise level of the finished motor.
• Sealing face flatness: the flatness of the cavity sealing plane guarantees assembly tightness and IP protection of the motor.
• Thin-wall deformation control: thin wall sections are machined with controlled cutting parameters and dedicated fixtures to prevent chatter marks and deformation.

Applications

This custom machined metal housing is used for servo motors, robot joint motors, new energy drive motors, industrial automation spindle motors, UAV power motors and medical drive motors. The same 5-axis process is applied to other custom CNC machined parts with complex cavities and tight coaxiality requirements.
