brackets, clips & formed stampings
Built for reliable mounting, retention, alignment, attachment, and positioning.
Gromax manufactures small stamped and formed metal parts for mechanical and electromechanical assemblies.
We review material, thickness, bend geometry, retention features, hole and slot location, finish, tolerances, and assembly conditions to support consistent fit and repeatable production.
part examples
Mounting Brackets
Flat or formed brackets with holes, slots, tabs, or flanges used to secure components to housings, panels, frames, or assemblies.
Retaining Clips
Stamped clips designed to capture, hold, or locate components using formed tabs, hooks, lances, or spring features.
Spring Clips
Formed clips that use elastic deflection to provide retention, clamping force, or controlled engagement with a mating component.
Alignment & Locator Stampings
Formed parts with tabs, shoulders, stops, slots, or locating features that help position components during assembly.
PCB & Component Brackets
Small formed parts used to support, mount, space, or position circuit boards, sensors, connectors, switches, and other electromechanical components.
Attachment & Support Stampings
Formed parts used to connect, brace, support, or secure mating components where stamped geometry can replace separate hardware or machined features.
Not sure where your part fits?
part design essentials
Reliable performance depends on how material properties, bend geometry, retention features, tolerances, and the mating assembly work together.
Bend Geometry & Springback
Bend radius, bend angle, material thickness, grain direction, and temper influence formability, final geometry, and dimensional repeatability.
Material & Thickness
Strength, stiffness, formability, corrosion resistance, conductivity, spring behavior, and cost help determine material and gauge.
Hole, Slot & Feature Location
Mounting holes, slots, tabs, lances, and locating features should be controlled relative to functional datums and finished formed surfaces.
Retention & Clip Features
Hooks, tabs, lances, barbs, embossments, and spring sections must provide the required engagement or holding force without overstressing the material.
Flat-to-Formed Relationships
Features created before forming can move relative to one another as bends are produced, so critical dimensions should be specified from the functional formed condition where practical.
Edges, Burrs & Surface Finish
Burr direction, edge condition, plating, coating, and surface finish should account for assembly handling, mating plastics, wires, sliding contact, corrosion, and appearance requirements.
from DfM to Production
Gromax supports bracket, clip, and formed-stamping programs from drawing review through repeatable production.
Part & DfM Review
Review the drawing, function, material, thickness, bend requirements, retention features, tolerances, finish, assembly method, and production volume.
Progressive Die Design & Build
Develop tooling for the required piercing, blanking, notching, lancing, embossing, coining, bending, forming, and cutoff operations.
Precision Stamping & Forming
Establish a repeatable process around critical hole locations, bend angles, formed heights, clip geometry, retention features, and mounting interfaces.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Incorporate tapping, machining, hardware insertion, deburring, plating, coating, cleaning, or assembly when required.
Production Support
Support ongoing programs with tool maintenance, dimensional review, process monitoring, root-cause analysis, and corrective action.
quality & assembly fit
Inspection should verify the characteristics that determine whether the part mounts, retains, aligns, and functions correctly in the finished assembly.
Overall Geometry
Length, width, thickness, formed height, profile, and overall part condition.
Bends & Formed Features
Bend angles, radii, offsets, tabs, flanges, embossments, lances, and formed relationships.
Hole & Slot Location
Diameter, size, spacing, and position relative to functional datums and mating features.
Retention & Clip Performance
Engagement position, spring travel, holding features, insertion condition, and retention geometry where applicable.
Assembly Fit
Alignment, seating, clearance, hardware access, mating-component position, and installed condition.
Gromax checks critical dimensions using standard measurement, fixtures, custom gaging, or functional inspection methods and reviews your certification, traceability, and inspection documentation needs.
