This is a high-precision sleeve made from nickel electroforming. It is resistant to corrosion, has better wear resistance than phosphor bronze, and is more affordable than zirconia ceramic.
Using a method called nickel electroforming, we create ultra-precise conversion sleeves by thickly electroplating nickel onto a mold and then releasing the mold. We connect the Φ2.5 ferrule and Φ1.25 ferrule, which are important connection components for optical fibers, with high precision (coaxial less than 1 micron). Nickel is resistant to corrosion and has a material hardness of about 550HV to 600HV (approximately three times that of stainless steel), but it also has elastic properties. The connection loss for optical fibers is less than 0.5 dB. We also accept development for other non-standard sizes.

Company information
Our company specializes in electroforming of nickel and copper, and we are currently developing stainless steel electroforming as a new initiative. Electroforming involves thickly depositing nickel onto master molds made of round bars, wires, plastics, etc. (nickel electroforming of 5 to 10,000 microns), and then stripping the mold to create precise pipes and components. Since the mold is transferred at a sub-micron level, it is suitable for applications that require high precision in roundness, inner diameter accuracy, and surface roughness. The hardness of the material is typically around 550 to 600 HV (about three times that of stainless steel), and hardness of around 250 HV is also possible. We also accept plating on plastics and electroformed products of regular gold, silver, rhodium, and platinum for both inner and outer diameters. We can create prototypes starting from a single piece, so please feel free to contact us.
