Die Casting Process and Die Casting Service

Material:ADC12 (Equivalent to A383)

Finish:Red Anodizing

Rollyu Precision manufactures custom aluminum motor bearing housings using high-pressure die-casting and precision CNC machining. Designed for electric motors and drive systems, these housings ensure accurate shaft alignment, reduce vibration, and support high-speed bearing performance.

We work with robust aluminum alloys such as A380 and ADC12, offering excellent strength-to-weight ratio, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance. Our process includes in-house mold design, tooling, and tight-tolerance finishing to meet critical dimensional and mechanical requirements.

Surface treatment options include anodizing, powder coating, and chromate conversion, tailored to fit your application’s functional and aesthetic needs. Each housing is fully inspected using coordinate measuring machines (CMM), thread gauges, and material testing equipment to ensure long-term reliability and assembly readiness.

These die-cast bearing housings are widely used in industrial electric motors, HVAC fans, robotics, automation equipment, EV power systems, and household appliances.

Custom precision aluminum motor bearing housings are manufactured through high-pressure die casting and tailored mold design. The process ensures accurate bearing alignment, thermal conductivity, and structural integrity. After CNC machining critical surfaces, finishes like anodizing or powder coating enhance corrosion resistance. Ideal for electric motors in robotics, automation, and industrial systems, these housings deliver tight tolerances, high strength, and consistent quality in every production run.

 

Design Consultation & Engineering Analysis Requirement Review Client specifications, CAD models, and functional requirements for motor alignment, bearing fit, and heat dissipation are analyzed.
DFM & FEA Simulation Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) are used to optimize wall thickness, bearing seat precision, and stress distribution.
Custom Mold Design Tooling engineers design the die with core-cavity inserts, sliders, and venting features to ensure proper aluminum flow and part ejection.
Precision Tooling Fabrication CNC Mold Machining Core and cavity sections are CNC-machined from H13 tool steel, then EDM-finished for complex geometries like bearing slots and cable passages.

FAQ

Why use aluminum die casting for motor bearing housings?

Aluminum die casting offers tight dimensional accuracyhigh strength-to-weight ratio, and excellent thermal conductivity, making it ideal for motor bearing housings. The process enables high-volume, cost-efficient production with complex geometries, such as internal channels, cooling fins, and mounting features.

What aluminum alloys are commonly used in die-cast bearing housings?

We typically use ADC12, A380, or AlSi9Cu3 alloys for motor housings. These alloys provide a good balance of machinability, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength, suitable for both enclosed and open-environment motor applications.

What tolerances and surface finishes can be achieved in die-cast housings?

Standard die casting can achieve tolerances of ±0.10 mm, and tighter specs can be achieved through secondary CNC machining. Surface finish options include:

  • As-cast (matte texture)
  • Shot blasting or bead blasting
  • CNC machining of precision mating areas
  • Anodizing, chromate conversion, or powder coating for enhanced appearance and protection
What industries commonly use custom aluminum bearing housings?

These housings are widely used in:

  • Electric motorsfor automation, robotics, and HVAC systems
  • Pumps and compressors
  • Power tools and industrial machinery
  • Medical and diagnostic equipment
    Die casting offers the reliability and repeatability required for OEM applications demanding both performance and volume.
