Modular induction solutions for drive and axle components

The automobile industry continuously roles out more models while simultaneously shortening new model launch intervals. Meanwhile, worldwide car sales are booming, particularly with the emerging demand from China and India. To drive over pot holes and rough roads at speed without damage, and yet give the driver a sensitive road feel would seem to be mutually exclusive goals. Powertrain and suspension components require toughness to handle the worst of everyday driving, and also high-precision mechanical characteristics to accurately transmit road conditions and driving dynamics to the driver. This paradox can be resolved with induction hardened modern automotive components. The manufacturing of these high-performance components is accomplished by a sophisticated induction hardening machine with the flexibility to harden a variety of disparate parts.
