Perry Tool & Research

read morePerry Tool & Research has over 50 years of expertise in the design and production of quality powder metal parts for OEMs worldwide. We specialize in producing precision gears, pulleys, bearings, cams, sprockets, fasteners, soft magnetic components and complex multi-level, close tolerance mechanical parts. Manufacturing with powder metal minimizes cost by eliminating waste from machining, while maintaining close tolerances, producing superior surface finish and excellent part-to-part reproducibility.

Calibration, calibration procedures, records, storage and handling are in accordance with MIL-STD-45662-A and / or ANSI/ASQC MI-1996 Calibration systems requirements. More detailed information on the above and on Incoming Inspection, New Part Development, Tooling, Customer Engineering Changes, Tool Maintenance, Repair & Internal Engineering Changes, Nonconforming Material, Packaging, Customer Communications and Work Documentation are all found in the Perry Tool & Research, Inc. Quality Assurance Manual.

The engineers at Perry Tool & Research will work with your design teems to ensure that a part meets your exact requirements, is well engineered, and is economical to produce. The P/M process is not shape-sensitive. Parts can be uniquely shaped or designed to combine two single parts into a complex, one-piece PM part. The part combinations are only limited to the design concept.

read moreThere are many advantages in using powder metal parts in your mechanical assemblies. Excellent surface finishes create high wear-resistance parts with longer life cycles, adding value to your product, while very close tolerances and repeatability over millions of parts lessens scrap and adds to the productivity of automated assembly. At Perry Tool & Research, we specialize in producing close tolerance, high volume parts such as cams, sprockets, lavers, fasteners, mounting brackets, and many other uniquely shaped parts that are difficult to manufacture through any other process.

read moreOver the years Perry Tool & Research has partnered with customers to design and manufacture parts that not only meet their specific requirements but are successful both mechanically and economically. Below are a few examples of challenges with unique solutions. The Challenge: A manufacturer of copy machines required a gear assembly that maintained close tolerances and had a specific strength capability. The assembly needed to be produced economically for the anticipated annual production quantities.
