These are some of the powder metal parts that I designed and made the tooling for and were manufactured at Kodak.
Note: that showen in the bottom center is a quarter for size perspective.
These gears are very small 0.136 (3.454mm) tip diameter and 0.180 (4.572mm) thick. The wall thickness between the root of the gear and the cored hole is 0.009 (0.2289mm) making this the smallest gear manufactured by the p/m method at Kodak.
At 0.060 (1.523mm) thick these parts were one of the thinnest to be run at Kodak the end sections are 0.026 (0.6604mm) thick in two places.
This ring was made from a very hard magnetic material, almost as hard as the tooling.
This was an attempt to manufacture a ceramic part with conventional p/m equiptment.
Note:The through slot is only 0.020 (0.508mm) wide.
These parts I redesigned, originally they were made from three separately machined parts.
Parts made for the disk camera. When this part was designed no outside p/m company would quote to make it in the price range required. I was successful and ran a two cavity die to produce two parts every cycle.
These parts were Kodak's only attempt to make two or more p/m parts and sinter them together. The pulleys and flanges are separate p/m parts, they are assembled together in the green state and then sintered for a completed p/m part.
These were the smallest parts run at Kodak. They have a 0.062 (1.5748mm) outside diameter a 0.020 (0.508mm) through hole and are 0.022 (0.5588mm) thick.
