· Product Overview

This precision-engineered threaded cylindrical sleeve is crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy—a lightweight, high-rigidity material ideal for protective enclosures, optical component housings, and industrial connection adapters. Its external multi-groove thread design enables secure, tool-free assembly, while the hollow cylindrical body provides internal space for component integration. CNC-machined to ultra-tight tolerances and finished with a natural anodized coating, this sleeve delivers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and dimensional accuracy, making it suitable for optical systems, sensor installations, and custom machinery applications.

· Core Specifications

Material Performance

  • 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy
    • Density: 2.7g/cm³ (lightweight for unobtrusive integration)
    • Tensile Strength: ≥290 MPa (rigid enough for structural load support and vibration resistance)
    • Thermal Conductivity: 167 W/m·K (excellent for heat dissipation from electronics or optical components)
    • Corrosion Resistance: Enhanced via natural anodization (scratch-proof, fade-resistant, and chemical-resistant)

Manufacturing Standards

  • Certification: ISO 9001-Certified
  • Key Processes: CNC Turning (cylindrical profile) → Precision Threading (external multi-groove threads) → Deburring → Natural Anodization → CMM Inspection
  • Standard Parameters:
    • Outer Diameter: 50–80mm (customizable 30–100mm)
    • Overall Height: 40–60mm (customizable 25–80mm)
    • Thread Pitch: 1.5–2.0mm (optimized for secure locking)
    • Internal Bore Diameter: 45–75mm (matched to outer diameter for consistent wall thickness)
    • Dimensional Tolerance: ±0.01mm (ensures precise mating with threaded caps or components)
    • Surface Finish: Natural anodized (30–50μm thickness; low-friction and corrosion-resistant)

· Application Scenarios

This threaded cylindrical sleeve excels in enclosure, housing, and connection use cases:
  • Optical & Imaging Equipment: Camera lens extension sleeves, filter adapter housings, and laser component enclosures.
  • Sensor & Electronics: Proximity sensor protective sleeves, LED driver housings, and industrial control module enclosures.
  • Industrial Automation: Hydraulic/pneumatic system adapters, conveyor component housings, and tool changer connection sleeves.
  • DIY & Hobby Projects: Custom flashlight bodies, drone camera lens adapters, and workshop jig component housings.
  • Medical & Laboratory Devices: Diagnostic instrument component sleeves, sample storage enclosures, and calibration tool housings.

· Production Process Introduction

  1. Raw Material Preparation: Cut 6061-T6 aluminum bars into cylindrical blanks matching the sleeve’s overall diameter and height.
  2. CNC Turning: Use high-precision CNC lathes to machine the hollow cylindrical profile and external thread base in a single setup for maximum concentricity.
  3. Precision Threading: Create the multi-groove external threads with high accuracy to ensure secure, tool-free assembly.
  4. Deburring & Finishing: Remove sharp edges from threads and bore surfaces to prevent component damage and ensure safe handling.
  5. Natural Anodization: Submerge the sleeve in electrolytic baths to apply a durable, corrosion-resistant natural coating that enhances surface hardness.
  6. Quality Inspection: Perform CMM dimensional scanning, thread fit testing, and surface finish analysis to verify compliance with design specifications.

· Packaging and Shipping Methods

  • Packaging:
    • Individual Units: Sealed in anti-scratch plastic bags and labeled with thread specifications to prevent damage and ensure traceability.
    • Bulk Orders: Packed in foam-lined partitioned boxes (prevents sleeve deformation, thread damage, and mixing of sizes).
  • Shipping Options:
    • Express Delivery (DHL/FedEx): 3–5 business days for prototype or small-quantity orders.
    • Air Freight: 7–10 business days for medium-batch production runs.
    • Sea Freight: 20–25 business days for large-volume bulk orders.All shipments include full tracking and damage insurance.

· Process

· Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity): 500 pieces for standard configurations; 200 pieces for custom designs (with valid technical drawings).
  • Lead Time: Standard lead time is 7–10 working days (includes CNC machining, anodization, and inspection); expedited production (5–7 working days) is available for urgent orders (additional fees apply).
  • Customization Capability: Full customization is supported—adjust diameter, height, thread pitch, wall thickness, or switch to black anodization for enhanced aesthetics. We also offer internal bore modifications and laser-etched logos. Our engineering team validates designs for structural rigidity and thread fit.
