- Turbine shafts, screws, and studs for exhaust systems
- Screws and studs for braking systems
- Screws for suspensions and wheels
- Screws and components for lighting
- Screws for chassis and shape details
Materials
The careful inspection of incoming raw materials is the first and basic task of our production process; for years we have relied on highly qualified sources for the supply of wire or bars in:
- Carbon-alloy steel for high-strength components
- 300 and 400 series stainless steels
- PH series stainless steels
- Nickel alloys
- Titanium
- Aluminum
Applications
Turbochargers
Screws or studs to assemble the turbocharger and its components, resistant to high temperatures
Turbo shafts that assemble the turbocharger wheel.
Camshafts
Screws for tightening the camshaft caps. They must guarantee a specific axial load by having to counteract the forces that are discharged from the tappets onto the camshaft. They must withstand high alternating loads at high frequencies. They usually have a resistance class greater than/equal to 10.9
Braking systems
Screws for brake caliper components, designed for increased temperatures caused by thermal energy during braking and with special surface coatings to operate in corrosive and high temperature environments, while maintaining safety characteristics
Manifold and exhaust system
Screws and studs for exhaust manifolds manufactured after the careful selection of special materials, resistant to high temperatures that maintain the mechanical characteristics unaltered (up to 800 degrees Celsius). A special surface coating with characteristics of well-defined and constant friction coefficients is applied for performance in high temperatures
Suspension and wheels
Wheel studs are used to assemble the wheel to the hub they are characterized by a custom design with resistance in corrosive environments and lightness
Eccentric screw for suspensions, used to adjust the suspension setup
Engine connecting rods
These screws are used to bring together the connecting rod and the crankshaft where high resistance to fatigue and cutting is needed
Special and standard screws
• Special screws designed and developed in collaboration with the customer using advanced finite element calculation systems (FEM). Reverse engineering from turned piece to cold/hot/semi-hot molded piece
• Standard shape screws according to DIN, ISO, EN, ANSI in special materials for high temperature applications, resistant to corrosion and fatigue (EN 10269, ADW 2000, ASME, ASTM, AMS) reduced thread, special threads and reduced weight (titanium.) Screws for the aeronautical sector of the LN, DIN, EN, AN series in A286, titanium, PH series steels, nickel alloys and alloy steels
Engine Cylinder Heads
Screws for engine cylinder heads that ensure the sealing of the gasket. They must exert an axial load that allows the maintenance of a contact pressure on the gasket head as such to guarantee the sealing of the cylinders and therefore avoid pressure losses in the combustion chamber
Flywheel
Screws used to connect the flywheel to the crankshaft. These screws are very compact to fit in small working spaces and deliver the maximum possible load to guarantee the correct transmission of power from the engine to the gearbox.
