VT machining specialises in CNC Gear Cutting C17200 Beryllium Copper. Because C17200 Beryllium Copper is high-strength, conductive and non-sparking, and its machinability is good; heat-treatable to high strength with good conductivity, we plan each job around the grade to protect accuracy and surface quality.

Published typical values for C17200 (TH04/AT). Other grades in the family differ — the certificate supplied with your order carries the actual heat-lot figures.
Machined in the solution-annealed state and age-hardened afterwards, which shrinks the part by roughly 0.1–0.2%. That shrink is compensated in the program.
Machining C17200 Beryllium Copper with CNC Gear Cutting
C17200 Beryllium Copper behaves predictably under CNC Gear Cutting once parameters are dialled in: machinability is good; heat-treatable to high strength with good conductivity, and we tune the operation accordingly.
We hold reference parameters for this grade, so repeat orders of C17200 Beryllium Copper run consistently from one batch to the next.
Achievable Tolerances for CNC Gear Cutting C17200 Beryllium Copper
| Feature | Standard | Precision |
|---|---|---|

| Tooth surface finish | Ra 1.6 µm | Ra 0.4 µm (ground) |
| Module range | m0.5–m8 | m1–m6 |
Standard is what a normal quotation assumes. Precision is available on nominated features and is priced separately, because it needs extra setups, in-process gauging and CMM verification. Call out only the features that need it — blanket-tightening a drawing is the single most common reason a quote comes back expensive.
CNC Gear Cutting Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every C17200 Beryllium Copper part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Design Tips for CNC Gear Cutting C17200 Beryllium Copper
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Providing complete gear data (module, pressure angle, profile shift, quality class) lets us produce C17200 Beryllium Copper gears right the first time. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Why C17200 Beryllium Copper?
C17200 Beryllium Copper is chosen when a part needs what this grade offers — it is high-strength, conductive and non-sparking. We confirm the grade and any temper or heat-treat condition with you before machining.
CNC Gear Cutting Tolerances & Surface Finish
Gear features are produced to a specified DIN/AGMA accuracy class, with profile and lead controlled for quiet, durable running under load.
Final tolerances are governed by the material's behaviour, wall thickness and overall stiffness. We give honest DFM feedback if a callout would be costly or better achieved another way.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished C17200 Beryllium Copper parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
Applications of CNC Gear Cutting C17200 Beryllium Copper
Customers order CNC Gear Cutting C17200 Beryllium Copper components for everything from instrumentation to structural and functional assemblies. Whether you need a single prototype or recurring production volume, the same process discipline applies.

What We Need to Quote CNC Gear Cutting C17200 Beryllium Copper
- GeometrySTEP or IGES for the 3D model, plus a PDF drawing if you have tolerance callouts. A dimensioned sketch is enough to start.
- MaterialThe exact C17200 Beryllium Copper grade and condition — temper, heat-treat state or hardness. If you are not sure, tell us the function and we will suggest one.
- QuantityPrototype count and the expected annual volume. Both change how the part is made and therefore what it costs.
- TolerancesWhich features are critical. Everything else runs to our standard tolerance, which is what keeps the price sensible.
- FinishSurface treatment, cosmetic requirements, and any faces that must be masked.
- DocumentsWhether you need a material certificate, dimensional report, FAIR or PPAP with the shipment.
