Materials

Choose Your Keyboard Case Material

The material you choose defines the weight, feel, sound, and durability of your keyboard. 

We machine all of these — so you can pick what fits your vision.

Aluminum

6061-T6 · 6063 · 5052

The most popular choice for premium keyboards. 6063 offers the best surface finish for anodizing. 7075 for extreme rigidity.

  • Lightweight yet rigid
  • Excellent anodizing response
  • Great heat dissipation
  • Best price-to-performance

Stainless Steel

304 · 316L

Heavy, solid, and virtually indestructible. Delivers a unique low-pitch sound signature and unmatched durability.

  • Extreme durability
  • Premium weight (2-3x aluminum)
  • Distinctive sound profile
  • Corrosion-resistant

Brass

C360 · C260

Dense and sonorous. Adds significant weight and delivers a deeper, more resonant typing sound. A favorite for custom builds.

  • Dense — adds 1.5-2kg to a case
  • Deep, satisfying sound
  • Unique gold/patina aesthetic
  • Excellent machinability

Polycarbonate (PC)

translucent

The RGB-friendly choice. Crystal clear or frosted — perfect for showing off underglow and switch lighting.

  • Crystal clear or translucent
  • Lightweight — great for travel
  • Impact-resistant
  • Unique “thocky” sound

Finishing Options for CNC Keyboard Cases

We offer a wide range of decorative finishes tailored for CNC-machined keyboard cases. In addition to our in-house anodizing line, we work with trusted partners specializing in electrophoresis, powder spraying, PVD, clear coating, and laser etching to meet both aesthetic and functional requirements.

Custom Hydraulic Manifold Overview

What Are Custom Hydraulic Manifolds?

Custom hydraulic manifolds are precision-machined components that control and distribute fluid between pumps, valves, actuators, and other parts of a hydraulic system. They combine multiple flow paths into a single compact block, helping to reduce external piping and overall system size.
 
Built from materials such as aluminum or steel, custom hydraulic manifolds can be produced to match specific pressure, flow, port, and mounting requirements. CNC machining allows accurate channels, threads, and sealing surfaces, making these manifolds suitable for industrial equipment, automation systems, mobile machinery, and other demanding hydraulic applications worldwide.

Components of a Custom Hydraulic Manifold

A custom hydraulic manifold combines several functional elements within one machined block:
 
  • Manifold Block: The main body containing internal fluid passages and mounting features.
  • Ports: Connect hoses, pumps, valves, cylinders, and other hydraulic components.
  • Valves: Control fluid direction, pressure, and flow throughout the system.
  • Sealing Surfaces: Help prevent leakage around connected components and fittings.
  • Mounting Features: Include threaded holes, brackets, and connection points for system integration.
 
Materials commonly include aluminum, carbon steel, and stainless steel, selected according to operating pressure, corrosion resistance, weight, and application requirements.

Why Are Custom Hydraulic Manifolds Expensive?

Several factors can increase the cost of a custom hydraulic manifold:
 
  • Material Choice: Aluminum, steel, and stainless steel vary in price and machining difficulty.
  • Complex Internal Passages: Precise drilling and intersecting flow paths require careful CNC machining.
  • Tight Tolerances: Sealing surfaces, ports, and valve cavities must meet strict dimensional requirements.
  • Finishing and Testing: Anodizing, plating, deburring, inspection, and pressure testing add extra production steps.
  • Low Production Volume: Prototypes and small batches usually have higher per-unit costs.
 
The higher price reflects the precision, reliability, and customization required for demanding hydraulic systems.

Common Surface Finishes for Custom Hydraulic Manifolds

Custom hydraulic manifolds often use surface treatments to improve corrosion resistance, durability, and identification:
 
  • Anodizing: Common for aluminum manifolds, adding corrosion resistance and a protective surface layer.
  • Zinc Plating: Helps protect steel manifolds from rust and everyday industrial exposure.
  • Nickel Plating: Provides improved corrosion and wear resistance for demanding environments.
  • Black Oxide: Creates a thin protective finish on steel while maintaining dimensional accuracy.
  • Laser Marking: Adds part numbers, port labels, logos, and other permanent identification.

Key Features of Custom Hydraulic Manifolds

  • Precision Machining: CNC production ensures accurate ports, valve cavities, threads, and sealing surfaces.
  • Custom Flow Paths: Internal passages can be designed around specific pressure, flow, and circuit requirements.
  • Material Options: Aluminum, carbon steel, and stainless steel are available for different operating conditions.
  • Compact Design: Integrated flow channels reduce external hoses, fittings, and overall system size.
  • Reliable Sealing: Tight tolerances help minimize leakage and improve hydraulic performance.
  • Flexible Integration: Manifolds can include custom mounting points, port layouts, valve interfaces, and sensor connections.
  • High Durability: Proper materials and surface treatments support demanding industrial environments.

Popular Brands Specializing in Custom Hydraulic Manifolds

  • HydraForce: Known for custom hydraulic integrated circuits, cartridge valves, and compact manifold solutions.
  • Sun Hydraulics: Offers custom integrated packages and precision-machined manifolds for complex hydraulic circuits.
  • Bosch Rexroth: Provides customized hydraulic systems, manifolds, and integrated control solutions for industrial and mobile equipment.
  • Parker Hannifin: Supplies a broad range of hydraulic and instrumentation manifolds for demanding fluid-control applications.

Conclusion

Custom hydraulic manifolds provide a reliable way to control fluid flow within demanding hydraulic systems. With precise CNC machining and protective finishes, they can be built around specific pressure and performance requirements.

Although custom manifolds may cost more than standard components, they offer better integration and greater design flexibility—making them a practical choice for industrial equipment, automation, mobile machinery, and other specialized hydraulic applications.
