What is the Concentricity

What is the Concentricity of Products: The Precision Mystery from CNC Machining to Injection Molding
In the field of precision manufacturing, concentricity (symbol: ◎) is one of the core indicators for measuring product quality. It refers to the degree of coincidence between the geometric centers of two or more circular features (such as holes, shafts, cavities) and the theoretical axis, directly affecting the assembly accuracy, service life, and performance stability of products. Whether it is the metal parts created by CNC turning services or the plastic components produced by medical injection molding, the control of concentricity is the key to ensuring product reliability

​1. Definition and Measurement of Concentricity
Concentricity is essentially a special form of coaxiality. When the measured element is the center of a circle or the axis of a thin workpiece, its coaxiality with the reference axis is concentricity. For example, the crankshaft journals of automotive engines and the inner cavities of medical device catheters require extremely high concentricity to ensure smooth operation and fluid tightness. Methods for measuring concentricity include coordinate measuring machines and laser micrometers, with an accuracy up to the micrometer level. The symbol for concentricity is ◎. In drawing annotations, it is usually presented in the form of ◎ followed by a specific tolerance value, clearly reflecting the accuracy requirements for concentricity.​

2. Concentricity Control in CNC Machining

2.1 CNC Turning Services: The “Heart” of Precision Parts
In CNC turning services, concentricity directly determines the dynamic balance of rotating parts. For example, mechanical turned parts for the medical sector in the medical field need to withstand high-frequency vibrations. If the concentricity deviation exceeds 0.002mm, it may lead to equipment failure or implant failure. Through the precision machining of five-axis linkage CNC machine tools, combined with high-precision cutting tools and a constant-temperature workshop environment, JSJM can control the concentricity of stainless steel parts within 0.001mm, meeting the stringent requirements of the aerospace and medical industries.
3. Concentricity Challenges in Injection Molding
3.1 Medical Injection Molding: Life Support with Micron-Level Precision
In medical injection molding, concentricity is the key to ensuring the tightness of catheters, syringes, and other medical devices. For example, if the concentricity of the electrode catheter of a pacemaker is insufficient, it may lead to abnormal current conduction and endanger the patient's life. JSJM optimizes the mold design (such as conformal cooling channels and multi-point gating systems) and process parameters (such as injection pressure of 60 - 80MPa and holding pressure time of 10 - 30 seconds), controlling the concentricity deviation of medical device plastic molding within ±0.003mm.
3.2 Plastic Parts Manufacturing: Full-Chain Control from Materials to Processes
Concentricity problems in plastic parts manufacturing often stem from uneven material shrinkage or mold wear. For example, nylon materials are highly hygroscopic and need to be dried at 80 - 100°C for 4 - 6 hours before injection molding. Otherwise, water evaporation may cause part deformation. JSJM uses medical-grade polycarbonate and glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene, combined with mold temperature control (60 - 80°C) and real-time detection (such as laser micrometers), to ensure the concentricity stability of custom plastic parts.
4. The Impact of Concentricity on Industries and Technological Trends
In the automotive industry, if the concentricity of the differential gears in auto cnc machining is insufficient, it will cause abnormal noise and increased energy consumption. In the semiconductor field, the concentricity deviation of Component test fixtures for semiconductor industry may cause signal interference. With the development of miniaturization technology, the requirements for concentricity in medical implants and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have been increased to the nanometer level, driving the continuous breakthrough of precision machining technology.
