INSERTED AND SOLID-BODY MANDREL ASSEMBLIES AND COMPONENTS FOR ROTARY-DRAW TUBE BENDING

We can supply you with both our standard-setting inserted mandrel assembly and the traditional "aircraft-quality" solid-body alternative. Almost any job a solid-body can do, the inserted one can also with all the advantages noted above. However, if you have a tube-bend application that must be done under high direct pressure, you may find a solid-body mandrel will work better. (Call us for our recommendation.)

Our mandrel tooling line features the following:

Standard tooling available for round, square, and rectangular tubing. (Call us regarding other shapes.)
Standard tooling available for tube diameters from .875" to 5.563" (22mm to 140mm).
Plugs available for smaller diameters; custom ball-mandrels for larger diameters.)
1-"D" bending capacity.
Large nose radius for most jobs and sharp nose radius for stainless steel, titanium, tight-radius, and high-pressure tube-bending.
Regular-pitch, close-pitch, and extra close-pitch balls.
Heavy-duty, single-piece, snap-together poppet-style links in all sizes. [TECH ARTICLE ON POPPET LINKS.]
Vented mandrel body for "through the mandrel" automated lubrication.
Wide wrench flats for easier attachment to the machine.
Dozens of mandrel thread specifications (both inch and metric) are standard at no extra cost.
Nickel-aluminum-bronze* or hard-chromed alloy steel mandrel balls and nose inserts.
Sold as complete assemblies, sub-assemblies, and individual replacement components. [INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO ON ASSEMBLY OF POPPET-LINK MANDRELS.]

* For mandrels smaller than 3" (76mm) in diameter. For larger mandrels, non-nickel aluminum-bronze is available.
