Excellent quality control over the manufacturing of engine components

Engine components define the workability and efficiency in mechanism of automotive parts while also defining the overall health of the engines. Seamless working of the engine is dependent solely on the manner in which its key components such as flywheel, crankshaft, piston, cylinder liners and cylinder sleeves function. Talking about flywheels, they are used to store energy effectively and points of power supply from motor to machine. Flywheel manufacturing companies use flywheels of varied weight and size to enable storage of energy based on acceleration and torque. Crankshafts on the other hand is the main component of the internal combustion engine that converts linear motion to rotational motion. Crankshaft manufacturers use aluminium composites in the manufacturing process as it smoothens the engine revolutions as against the iron crankshafts that are a cheaper alternative. Needless to say, flywheels and crankshafts have been used for many years to ensure smooth rotation of engine.
In manual transmission flywheel is mounted on the engine shaft and is put to use when the driver engages the clutch to shift gears. The friction plate that is placed between the flywheel and pressure plate allows engine shaft to turn on the transmission. While they offer smooth flow of torque to the machine release energy without any change in speed, Flywheel manufacturing companies use aluminium as they are lighter in weight as compared to steel or iron, thereby allowing optimum functionality when engine is running. The use of cast iron, mild steel, other composite materials made by combining steel and glass fibre are also used widely in the manufacture of flywheels. Since flywheels are in a way the repositories of energy, the use of the right material, precision technology and manufacturing expertise are to be followed strictly.
When it comes to crankshaft manufacturers, use of high ductile iron and aluminium are widely used as crankshafts are the main rotating components in the engines. Crankshafts are vital automotive engine components which convert the linear motion to rotary motion through the force created when the pistons move up and down. Cast crankshafts and forged crankshafts are used in automotive industries and by other manufacturing industries. The making of crankshafts is a critical process which involves the use of refined high strength steel which can prove the tenacity of the engine during operation. The use of material, the quality of steel is relative and is based on the industry type and use and applicability. Secondly, the structure, architecture and design of the crankshafts is complex in nature and varies as per depending on the number of cylinders.
Crankshaft manufacturers have to ensure that they bear all these aspects in mind during the process of crankshaft manufacturing. As one of the major players in this industry, Cooper Corporation ensures that the crankshafts are conditioned to optimal quality and are hardened to main and pin diameter of 50~60 HRC. In order to maintain performance efficiency and cost-effectiveness, these engine components are subject to stresses as a test for tenacity. Cooper is among the reputed flywheel manufacturing companies in India, supplying end products to several Original Equipment manufacturers- OEM’s across the globe and several automotive companies.
Cooper uses high ductile iron and aluminium. The overall functioning of the modules of crankshafts such as crankpins, crank webs, supporting bearings etc. are micro-monitored to support large loads of manufacturing. Whether it is about flywheel or crankshafts, they are made to suit the requirements of both diesel/Gas-powered engines. With a manufacturing expertise spanning over five decades, the company understands that quality control measures, timely upgradation of technology, superior raw materials, consistency, legislative compliances are a key to maintain a long-term relationship and trust of the customers. With a strong manufacturing heritage consisting of committed workforce and contemporary technology Cooper has grown on to be one of the largest crankshaft manufacturers and flywheel manufacturing companies in India.
