Defining the very workability of engines with fine engine components

With engine components defining the very health of the engines and the workability

of any automotive units, they should be the ones that have integrated themselves

with the latest technology and precision manufacturing. Some of the vital

components manufactured by the aluminium manufacturers include flywheels,

pistons, cylinder liner, crankshafts etc. As one of the renowned engines and engine

components like piston manufacturers in India, Cooper has always been among

the top manufacturing companies that have integrated themselves with

contemporary technology. Almost 70% of the components used by the company in

the manufacture of engines and gensets (which form a sizeable part of the Cooper

portfolio) are manufactured at the company foundry at Satara. This ensures that the

quality check and control is in place right from the stage of procurement and

manufacturing to the stage of distribution. Read on, to know more about them.

Defines the workability of an engine

Some of the key engine components for the efficient working of any engine

includes its crankshafts, cylinder liners, cylinder sleeves, pistons and flywheels. All of

these have to be manufactured using technological advancement, while the use of

raw materials has to be sourced from quality aluminium manufacturers of the

country. Cylinder liner being a vital part is where the internal combustion takes

place. These liners are manufactured indigenously by Cooper sing alloy cast iron

that gives a good wear and tear for the products due to their high resistance

properties. Ditto to this, as one of the leading piston manufacturers of the country,

Cooper makes pistons as per the needs and necessities of clients used for varied

engines such as reciprocating engines, gas compressors, reciprocating pumps etc.

Cooper is one of the largest manufacturers of cylinder liners in the country with an

annual production pegged at 8000 tonnes. These are used by the renowned

automotive companies or Original Engine Manufacturers round the globe.

Companies like Jaguar, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Ford, Cummins have long been the

clients of Cooper.

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.

Key engine components

As one of the largest producers of key engine components or a leading piston

manufacturer of the country, Cooper makes sure that these products are in line with

technological requirements of the world over. This simply means that the quality check

and product efficiency is in place when it comes to the engine components

manufacturing. The state of the art R&D facility situated within the foundry gives an

opportunity to explore the possibilities of product improvement and product

innovation. The company today are among the leading aluminium manufacturers

and suppliers of engine components to companies within India and across the world

to countries such as Japan, Africa, South America, Europe etc.

Engine components-precision technology and dynamic designs

The Indian auto-components industry has been showing a steady growth in the recent years and amounts for 2.3 per cent of India’s GDP. With such robust growth forecast, opportunities have also multiplied resulting in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows into this segment especially in the past two decades. The vital engine components such as the pistons, crankshafts, flywheel, and cylinder liners etc., contribute to what is known as the organized business which largely supplies to Original Equipment Manufacturers.  Satara-based Cooper Corporation is India’s renowned auto components industry and original Aluminium parts manufacturers that supply their products to the automobile industry and OEM’s across the world including Jaguar, Kawasaki, GE, Maruti Suzuki, Cummins etc. Besides, the 70% of components used in the Cooper engines and generators are manufactured by the company itself. This being their USP, there’s better quality control in the production and manufacturing process. 

Engine components-precision technology and dynamic designs

Cooper Corporation is one of the key Aluminium parts manufacturers for engine components, largely catering to the agricultural, automotive sectors, infrastructure and marine segments within and across the globe. Over the years, the company has consistently been investing in the state-of-the-art-technology at its manufacturing plants in Satara with active assistance and industrial collaboration from consultants across the world. Today, they are among the largest flywheel manufacturing companies, crankshafts, cylinder heads/blocks and piston manufacturers. Pistons are the key engine parts that are made to fit into the cylinder liners with the help of piston rings. The material chosen in the manufacture of pistons have to be in accordance to the material chosen for the cylinder liners and that of the piston rings. Piston manufacturers have to provide a high quality, cost-effective and perfectly engineered finished product that can fit into that cylinder liners. As one of the piston manufacturers in India they manufacture pistons for large bore liners using materials such as cast iron tin plating or in aluminium in order to improve the wear resistance even at high temperatures.

The use of precision technology, efficient labour and manufacturing finesse is seen in all of the Cooper engine components especially critical automotive parts such as flywheels. As one of the preferred flywheel manufacturing companies to OEM’s and other automotive companies, Cooper ensures that various parameters such as the material used, designing of flywheels, overall weight, diameter etc., are as per the exact brief. Flywheels are in a way the reservoir of energy that calls for fine engineering and manufacturing expertise. Flywheel manufacturing companies have to therefore ensure that the right material is used so as to sustain high levels of stress and to prevent breaking apart of flywheels. High quality materials including cast iron, composite materials like carbon merged with cast iron, e-glass fibre composite are used in the making of flywheels.

Flywheels make for a better option than rechargeable batteries in terms of energy sustenance, design, compactness and also occupy lesser volume. They are also used to store electricity produced by solar panels and supply stored electricity to drive generators and illumination. Several considerations for effective use of flywheels include the planning and design of flywheels, effective use of flywheels and optimization of parametric factors for better energy storage in the flywheels. The cost-effectiveness and engine sustenance- in comparison to the rechargeable batteries make then a better option as compared to rechargeable batteries. As a pioneer among flywheel manufacturing companies in India, as well as a renowned engine component manufacturer Cooper Corporation is known for compact and dynamic design, yet excellent energy storage capacity owing to the use of composite materials and carbon fibres. They are known for their wear-free technology and long lasting flywheels that are designed for better capacity irrespective or charging cycles. With constant innovation and dedicated workforce, the company
