Brass Turned Components from Bar Stock
DEK turns C360, CZ121 and 260 brass bar stock into valves, connectors, bushings and sensor housings on CNC lathes and Swiss-type lathes. There is no minimum order quantity.
A single prototype and a full production run follow the same process: an engineer reviews your drawing and quotes it directly, not an automated calculator. Work runs under ISO 9001, AS9100D and ISO 13485 certification, with full alloy data on our brass machining page.
Why Source Brass Turned Parts from DEK
Certified quality, proven delivery and engineer-led quoting for brass turned components, from one prototype to repeat runs.
Engineer-Reviewed Quotes
Every drawing is read by an engineer, not a fixed calculator. Ambiguous callouts are flagged before quoting, and DZR or lead-free requests are confirmed as achievable before we price them.
Brass Turned Parts Capabilities
Alloys, tolerances, machines and finishes for turned brass, from sub-10 mm micro features to large turned components.
Brass Turned Parts vs. Other Turned Metals
Choose brass for corrosion-resistant fittings and connectors; move to carbon steel or aluminum turning for other metal needs, or grind when turning alone cannot hold the OD.
| Criteria | This ProcessBrass turned parts | Carbon steel turning | Aluminum turning | Centerless grinding |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Fittings, valves, connectors | Same part in steel | Lighter parts | Tighter OD after turning |
| Corrosion focus | Corrosion-critical parts | Different metal need | Non-corrosion-critical | Follows base metal |
| Process role | Primary turning | Primary turning | Primary turning | Secondary, after machining |
| Choose when | Machinability, cycle time | Steel is specified | Weight matters | OD beyond turning limits |
Industries Using Turned Brass
Brass turned parts serve aerospace, medical and fluid-handling applications under AS9100D and ISO 13485 quality systems.
Turned Brass Parts We Manufacture
From brass fittings to sensor housings, these are the turned components we produce most, matched to the right alloy.
-
Valves and Valve Bodies
Typically produced in C360 for its corrosion resistance and machinability, with threads cut to your print.
-
Brass Fittings
Compression and pipe fittings in C360, the default grade for high-volume runs where cycle time matters. See fittings.
-
Bushings and Bearings
Turned brass bushings, with custom bushings ground after turning when the OD must be tighter.
-
Electrical Connectors
Electrical and fluid connectors, often in 260 when extra ductility is needed for crimping or staking.
-
Sensor Housings
Sensor housings needing secondary forming usually run in 260, with fit-critical bores held to ±0.005 mm.
-
Turned Brass Nozzles
Turned brass nozzles with coaxial bores, run on CNC or Swiss-type lathes depending on length and diameter.
Common Challenges We Handle
-
Lead-Free Requirements
C360, CZ121 and 260 are all leaded. Flag potable water or DZR needs on the RFQ and we confirm feasibility before quoting.
-
Slender Turned Features
High-aspect-ratio features run on Swiss-type lathes to hold geometry on slender brass parts.
-
Sub-10 mm Micro Features
Micro-turned features under 10 mm hold down to ±0.003 mm; see our micro machining capability.
-
Post-Turning Forming
Parts that are cold-formed, staked or crimped after turning run in 260 for its lower lead and higher ductility.
Certified Quality on Every Part
Brass turned parts are made under ISO 9001, AS9100D and ISO 13485, certified through TUV.
