📐 Mounting Brackets & L Brackets

Standard bracket materials include 6061-T6 aluminum (light-duty), 1018/1026 steel (general purpose), 304/316 stainless steel (corrosive environments), and 7075-T6 aluminum (high-strength applications). We also machine brackets from Delrin, Nylon, and PEEK for non-metallic or insulating requirements.

We machine brackets from 0.5mm to 100mm material thickness. For thin-gauge brackets (<2mm), we use specialized fixturing and clamping strategies to prevent distortion. For thick brackets, our DMG MORI 5-axis machines can handle material removal up to 500mm × 400mm × 400mm work envelope.

We machine brackets in their final geometry, eliminating the need for secondary bending operations. Complex brackets with multiple planes, bosses, ribs, and mounting pads are machined from solid in a single 5-axis setup. This provides superior strength (no bend lines), tighter tolerances, and faster lead times than formed brackets.

Standard lead time for custom brackets is 2-5 working days for quantities up to 100 pieces. Simple L-brackets with 2-4 holes can be quoted and machined same-day. For production quantities (100-5000+), typical lead time is 2-3 weeks. We offer 24-hour rush service for urgent requirements.

Yes. We can supply brackets with all required hardware: bolts, washers, lock washers, nuts, and thread-locking patches applied to specified threads. Brackets can also be supplied with Heli-Coil threaded inserts, PEM nuts, or studs pressed in. Hardware is sourced from reputable manufacturers with traceability.

We offer black oxide, zinc plating (clear, yellow, or black), electroless nickel, hard anodizing (MIL-A-8625 Type III), powder coating, and e-coating. For outdoor or marine applications, we recommend 316 stainless steel or 6061 aluminum with hard anodizing. Coating thickness and salt spray test reports are available.
