In their original version, these parts were produced in glass fibre reinforced resin, 3-4.5 mm thick and containing two brass inserts to fix them to the car body. These components are painted on the body to match the rest of the car. Problems encountered during...
This shift lever connects the shifter and the gear in ZF automotive gearboxes. This part was originally an aluminum cast part but required tapping and other secondary operations to meet the close tolerances. Thanks to the to close collaboration with the customer,...
Key benefits: Outstanding control of each step and parameters involved in the full process i.e. from design to final part to achieve “the perfection” Same surface quality and appearance obtained on all the 6 cast parts of this assembly Fingers print surface free !!...
Die Baugruppe besteht aus einer Anbindung und einem Sockel als Hauptelemente einer elektronischen Lenkungsverriegelung. Dabei handelt es sich um Sicherheitsteile aus dem Automotivebereich, die durch ihre Materialeigenschaften und komplexen Konturen Funktionen...
The lever was originally designed as a steel sand casting with machining operations to size the shaft, pivot hubs and cable connection holes. The final operation was a zinc plating. After a value analysis of an all-metal foot pedal control system, the materials...
Engineers decreased time-to-market by utilising existing gear housing tooling to develop a higher load winch. Superwinch’s 1,500-lb. unit incorporated two 380 Aluminium die cast housings which functioned as rotating and stationary ring gears. By substituting...
This casting part was originally produced in die-cast aluminum. It could be produced only with disproportionate effort and high scrap rates. The parting plane in the casting could never reach the surface quality standards because at that position was a vacuum...
One of the first opportunities to test ACuZinc 5 was in Delphi Interior and Lighting System’s newly-designed heliscrew horizontal actuator for power seats. The die castings replace a powder-metal gear rack and plastic gear housing design. Seat adjustment is...
Due to its realiability it allows the mounting of a precision bearing of an air turbine with a bevel gear. Allows the plastic overcoating Strength with precise shapes and thread with repetion at each production.
Warner Gear’s 4WD locking hub takes advantage of ZA-8’s net shape castability, creep resistance and excellent finishing characteristics to provide a highly functional and aesthetic cover. ZA-8 alloy was chosen because it handles temperatures close to 200...
The rigidity of the part ensures the quality of retro-vision due to the absorption of the vibrations compared to engineering plastics. Note the (omega) shape for the rigidity of the assembly. Rigidity inside the envelope (volume) and reduced width of the assembly,...
This chassis for a motor drive unit for an automatic opening roller door was made from several pressed metal parts prior to being designed as a zinc diecasting. Diecasting in zinc alloy 3 provided the following benefits: 1.) Additional features such as pockets, the...
The seats in luxury cars are moved forwards and backwards by motorised reduction gears which must be solid, reliable, accurate and mechanically strong. Zinc alloys satisfy these requirements and they offer the added benefit of noise reduction due to their...
The original selector tube was designed as a magnesium-steel assembly. It was redesigned as a one-piece ZA-8 alloy die casting. The ZA-8 casting replaced steel without loss of torque strength and net shape casting produces a complex, multifunctional component. The...
