Rocker Arm

Rocker arm is an oscillating lever in an engine. It’s one end is raised which is lowered by a rotating lobe of the camshaft while the other end serves to work on a valve stem. We take care of the wear resistance with chilled cast iron along with heat treatment and attain just the perfect surface roughness by controlling metal cutting parameters. In crux this is the way we manufacture rocker arms.

Manufacturing

With backward integration, we are capable of manufacturing rocker arm right from design and development stage to manufacture and supply the finished machined product all under one roof and supply to various customers all over the globe. Our comprehensive PPAP capabilities lend us our edge. Our state-of-the-art full gage room comes with dedicated CMM fixtures, air guages, dial bores, electronic bore gauges, etc. Each job has its own gauge box for quick and organized job launches. We also utilize gauge track as our gauge calibration tracking system. These excellent resources and thorough manufacturing result in superior rocker arm.

Design centre, Tool room and R&D facilities In-house Design centre, tool room and R&D centre Not available with normal chinese factories We have an extra ordinary aptitude in developing customized formulations for steel products. For moulded products, we have in-house tool room with integrated facilities for mould design and mould manufacturing enabling quick lead time to customers
Moulding Automated moulding process Manual Moulding process Automated moulding results in Relatively poor wear under heavy duty conditions and at higher friction levels
Heat Treatment Inhouse Heat treatment process Outsourced in most of the factories Grain alignment to give better raw material strength and to reduce internal stress

Rocker arms manufactured by us is available in one type of finish:

Original Steel

Finishing is an imperative stage of the entire manufacturing process as this controls exhaust scavenging potential, in taking air command and translating camshaft movement into valve actuation.
