OEM Metal Stamping Parts
Runkey Parts manufactures precision OEM metal stamping parts designed to meet demanding tolerances, aggressive lead-times, and high-volume production requirements. From delicate terminals and contact springs to rugged brackets and stamped enclosures, our stamping capabilities serve electronics, automotive, telecom, appliance, and industrial OEMs. Whether you need a prototype run or millions of repeat pieces, we deliver consistent quality, competitive pricing, and engineering support to take your design into production.
Why choose Runkey Parts for OEM metal stamping parts
We understand that stamped components are often a small part with a big impact. A poorly specified stamped feature can cause assembly failures, electrical issues, or costly rework. That’s why Runkey Parts focuses on:
- Precision & consistency: typical tolerances of ±0.05 mm for precision features, with capability to hold tighter tolerances where the design allows.
- Full process control: in-house tooling, progressive dies, compound dies, and presses up to the tonnage required for large-forming operations.
- Scalable production: flexible setups for low-volume prototypes through high-volume runs with consistent quality control.
- Secondary operations: plating (Ni, Sn, Zn), passivation, bending/forming, welding, and sub-assembly to deliver ready-to-install components.
Our stamping capabilities & processes
We pair modern equipment with experienced die-makers to handle complex geometries and multi-station progressive die designs. Core processes include:
- Progressive die stamping for high-speed production of complex parts with integrated operations (piercing, bending, forming).
- Compound and transfer stamping for heavy sections and deep-drawn components.
- Fine blanking and secondary forming when superior edge quality or additional forming is required.
- Tooling design & prototyping — we produce tooling in-house to shorten lead times and iterate quickly on part geometry.
Materials, thickness & standard finishes
We work with a wide range of metals commonly requested for OEM stamped parts:
- Stainless steel (SUS304, SUS316) — corrosion resistance and strength for harsh environments.
- Carbon steel & electro-galvanized steel — cost-effective and durable for structural clips and brackets.
- Copper, phosphor bronze & brass — excellent conductivity for electrical contacts and terminals.
- Aluminum — lightweight options for housings and shields.
Typical thickness range: 0.1 mm to 6.0 mm (dependent on geometry and material). Finishes available: bright tin, nickel, zinc plating, passivation, powder coat, and custom coatings as required by your specification.
Common applications & industries
Our OEM metal stamping parts are used across multiple sectors:
- Automotive: clips, fasteners, sensor brackets, grounding straps.
- Electronics & telecom: terminals, connector shields, contact springs, heat sinks.
- Appliances & consumer goods: mounting brackets, housings, decorative covers.
- Industrial equipment: precision shims, wear plates, sensor assemblies.
Each application demands a different balance of material, geometry, and finishing. We help OEMs pick the optimal combination for durability, manufacturability, and cost-efficiency.
Design guidance — reduce cost and improve yield
To ensure your stamped parts achieve best cost and manufacturability, consider these practical tips:
- Design for stamped features: minimize acute internal corners and extremely small radii which increase tool wear; use standard bend radii matched to material thickness.
- Keep consistent material choices across high-volume runs to reduce setup changes and prevent material handling errors.
- Specify tolerances only where critical — looser tolerances on non-functional dimensions save cost without losing performance.
- Consult early with our engineers — early DFM feedback can reduce tooling iterations, cut lead times, and lower per-piece cost.
Quality control & certifications
We maintain strict quality checks throughout production: incoming material inspection, in-process dimensional checks, first article inspection, and full run sampling. On request, we provide material certificates, inspection reports, and custom test plans to meet your audit requirements.
