Metal Parts for Some Automotive Products
Starter Motors
Car manufacturers continue to find uses for CNC Machined metal. Complex parts such as starter motors, for instance, can be produced using CNC Machining. The precision and complexity of the process allow for the optimization of these parts. Manufacturers can also easily improve them in terms of performance, durability, and reliability.
Cylinder Heads
In the automotive and motorsport industries, CNC Machining for automotive industry also offers several advantages. These benefits come in producing engine blocks and cylinder heads, which cover the cylinder in an internal combustion engine.The technology is particularly useful for limited runs or customized engine models. These components come from a solid block of aluminum, which is an easy metal to machine. Other powertrain components, such as alternator housings, brake system valves, and fuel pump systems, can also be produced using CNC Machining.
Drive Axles
In a car, the drive axle is made up of two half axles, which are each connected to a wheel by a constant velocity joint. The critical part enables the wheel to assemble to move freely vertically and to pivot when the car is turning. CNC machining helps to produce precision auto parts in the drive axle mechanism, such as the hypoid gears and bevel gears.
Gearboxes
The gearbox is the second stage in a vehicle’s transmission system and consists of various shaft and gear components. These parts can be produced with CNC Machining, which offers high precision and good efficiency. Finishing parts of the gearbox that are cast are possible using CNC milling and drilling tools.
