Precision core, Reliable choice: Application of zinc alloy Die-castings in High-end instruments and meters

17 Nov, 2025

 

In today's era of rapid technological advancement, instruments and meters, as the "eyes" and "brain" of industrial control, scientific research and daily measurement, their accuracy, reliability and durability directly affect the success or failure of the entire system. At the core of these precision devices, there is a key component that is quietly playing an irreplaceable role - zinc alloy die-castings.

 

As a professional provider of precision technology solutions, Dongguan Xinshengyang Precision Technology, with its profound accumulation in the field of zinc and aluminum die-casting, delves deeply into how zinc alloy die-casting has become an ideal choice for the manufacturing of high-end instruments and meters.

 

I. Why Choose Zinc Alloy Die Casting?

Compared with plastics, other alloys or machined parts, zinc alloy die-casting has incomparable advantages in the field of instruments and meters:

 

Outstanding dimensional stability and precision

Zinc alloy has a small solidification shrinkage rate during die-casting, enabling the production of parts with complex shapes, thin walls, precise dimensions and extremely small tolerances. This is crucial for the gearboxes, brackets, housings and connectors inside the instrument that require precise coordination, ensuring measurement accuracy over long-term use.

 

High strength and excellent wear resistance

The mechanical properties of zinc alloy are close to those of low-carbon steel, and its tensile strength, impact toughness and hardness are much higher than those of ordinary engineering plastics. This enables zinc alloy die-castings to withstand the vibrations, shocks and wear that the instrument may encounter during transportation, installation and use, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

 

Outstanding electromagnetic shielding performance

In modern electronic instruments, electromagnetic interference is a key factor affecting the accuracy of readings. Zinc alloy has excellent electromagnetic shielding properties, which can effectively protect the sensitive electronic components inside and ensure the purity and stability of signal transmission. It is an ideal shielding cover material for high-end communication test equipment and medical instruments.

 

Exquisite surface treatment and full sealing performance

Zinc alloy substrates have a natural affinity for various surface treatment processes. Whether it is high-gloss electroplating, fashionable spraying, corrosion-resistant chromate treatment, or professional baking varnish, all can achieve a beautiful, durable and environmentally friendly surface effect. In addition, the die-casting process can achieve nearly perfect overall sealing, providing high-level dust and water protection such as IP67 for the instrument.

 

Efficient mass production and cost-effectiveness

Die-casting technology is suitable for large-scale production, with one-time molding, which greatly reduces subsequent mechanical processing procedures, improves production efficiency, and lowers the comprehensive cost of individual parts. For consumer or industrial instruments that need to be mass-marketed, this is the key to achieving economic benefits.

 

Ii. Typical Applications of Zinc Alloy Die-Castings in Instruments and Meters

In our customer practice, zinc alloy die-castings are widely used in the following key parts:

 

Enclosure and structural frame: High-strength enclosures for multimeters, flow meters, and sensors, providing core protection and support.

 

Internal functional structural components: such as precision gears, transmission parts, connector brackets, and coil bobbings, ensure the accuracy of mechanical movement.

 

Shielding covers and covers: In high-end equipment such as spectrum analyzers and oscilloscopes, they serve as electromagnetic shielding covers to ensure signal integrity.

 

Interfaces and connecting components: such as the port covers, joints, and buttons of instruments, require high wear resistance and precise tolerance fits.

 

Heat dissipation component: Utilizing its excellent thermal conductivity, it is used as a heat dissipation base for power devices.
