Gear produced from Zamak

It is an internal component of the shock absorber assembly, produced using hot-chamber injection moulding on a 20-tonne machine.

One of the critical requirements for this part is the dimensional accuracy of its internal diameter. The customer selected Zamak 5 on the basis of its cost, the speed of manufacture and the final tolerances it allows.

For this part, the process is carried out entirely in-house by Gurelan and comprises injection moulding and shot blasting.
