Machining Services
Shrink Fitting

Thermal shrink fitting of inserts, bushings, and thermal break polyamide strips. Performed in-house and available on its own, or as part of a full production package.

 
Overview
Fitted In-House

Shrink fitting uses heat to fit inserts, bushings and polyamide thermal break strips into aluminum profiles, creating a tight, secure fit without additional fasteners.

Shrink Fitting is available as a standalone service. Add it to your CANEX extrusion or die casting order, or send us aluminum profiles or parts made by another supplier, and we shrink fit them in-house to your specification.

Because all machining is performed in-house, shrink fitting can be combined with our other machining services and surface finishes, keeping your project under one quality system.
