Excellent quality control in the manufacture of engine components


The quality and the make of the engine components ensures that the engines work to their optimal level, without there being any glitches in the working of the engines. Crucial engine components such as a cylinder liner, crankshaft, flywheel, piston is almost indispensable for any engine. Needless to say, the end product must be the ones which reflect precision technology, finesse and technological advancement. Being among the chosen crankshaft manufacturers in India and a leading Engine component manufacturing company the company supplies its products to many Original Engine Manufacturers in India and round the globe, Cooper Corporation sources its raw materials from quality aluminium manufacturers of the country. Integration with advanced technology has led to precision manufacturing.

 The company that began its stint with the manufacturing of engine components five decades back, has diversified its portfolio by including a wide range of engine components. Being one of the largest crankshaft manufacturers in India, Cooper has a wide Indian and international customer base with industrial, marine and agricultural applications.

Cylinder liners and crankshaft manufacturing at Cooper-the scale up

Cylinder liner is a vital component of any automotive engine where the combustion takes place. Cooper make of cylinder liners are manufactured indigenously at their foundry using alloy cast iron that gives a phenomenal wear and corrosion resistant properties. these reflect optimal durability and resistance to scuffing. An estimated 8000 tonnes of cylinder liners are produced every month which makes Cooper among the top three of India’s cylinder liner manufacturing companies in India. All the raw materials are sourced from quality aluminium manufacturers of the country.

Flywheel is a key component for any engine that is used as points of power supply from the motor to machine by storing rotational energy at the time of inertia. In other words, when the engine faces loss of momentum, the energy that is stored in the flywheel are used up by converting into heat energy in the brakes. Typically, cast iron, mild steel, composite material like cast iron and carbon fibre is used in the manufacture of flywheel. This is followed by the use of a composite material that is made by marging steel and E-glass fibre. A flywheel varies in diameter, weight and hence the quality of the product differs too, and hence has to be tailor-made as per the use and application of the end product.

Engine components are often believed to outlive the engine itself, as a result of which the health of the components is important to ensure that the purpose of the engine is served. As one of the largest crankshaft manufacturers in India, Cooper supplies crankshafts to some of the leading OEM’s and automobile companies. Today, the company supplies them to various countries of the world such as Africa, China and Europe as well as the rest of Asia. They are used for a range of purposes with engine capacity of upto 1 MW. High ductile iron is used to suit the purpose and various industrial applications- all of which are sourced from quality iron manufacturers and aluminium manufacturers of the country.

Today Cooper Corporation is among the leading crankshaft manufacturers in India as well as a leading engine and generator manufacturing companies of the country. The company employs over 3,000 employees from the surrounding areas, which is the reason why Cooper has become the hub of all developmental activities in this region. Almost 70% of the components used by the company for generators an engine manufacturing is produced here at Cooper. this explains why quality control precision manufacturing and advancement in technology is well integrated in the manufacturing process right from the initial stages till the penultimate stage of distribution.
