stainless steel control lever arm castings – These custom stainless steel control lever arms combine a long operating arm, reinforced head, hexagonal shaft interface and smaller locating holes. Investment casting provides a repeatable near-net form before the drive bore and assembly features are machined to the approved equipment drawing.

Product and Interface Review
Lever length, hex-bore size, hole position, arm straightness and the relationship between the drive and locating features determine assembly movement. AODSON reviews section transitions, machining datums and fixture access before tooling. Torque, operating angle and mating shaft details should be provided so the functional interfaces can be prioritized.
Key Manufacturing Features
- Integrated long-arm and reinforced head geometry
- Machined hexagonal drive bore
- Multiple locating and assembly holes
- Custom marking, coating and dimensions
Materials, Manufacturing and Surface Finish
Investment casting forms the arm, head and integrated bosses as one component. CNC machining then controls the hex bore, locating holes and reference faces. Surface finishing can distinguish operating positions or provide additional environmental protection when specified.
The proposed route for this control lever arm casting is Investment casting with CNC bore, hole and locating-feature machining. Final material, tolerances, finish and testing remain subject to the approved drawing and purchase specification.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control linkages
- Valve and damper operators
- Machine adjustment mechanisms
- OEM replacement lever programs
Quality Control and Approval
Inspection can include material verification, lever length, straightness, bore geometry, hole position and surface condition. Functional trial fit is available when the buyer supplies a mating shaft, gauge or approved sample.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this control lever arm casting be customized?
Yes. Geometry, interfaces, material, finish and inspection can be produced from an approved drawing or sample. Feasibility is reviewed before quotation or tooling.
Which material grades are available?
The current range is Stainless steel or mechanical alloy specified for load, wear and corrosion conditions. Final selection should consider corrosion, strength, temperature, wear and applicable customer standards.
What is needed for an accurate quotation?
Please provide geometry, material, quantity, critical tolerances, finish and delivery requirements. Describing the application helps engineering identify risks that may not be visible on the drawing alone.
