OEM PISTONS
We are a trusted partner for global OEMs looking to bolster their automotive programmes with performance pistons that have been proven at the very highest levels. Some of the biggest names in the industry have called on us to deliver custom pistons for industry-defining vehicles. Our support covers the full spectrum of services from prototype design, manufacture and development through to production volume supply.
Prototype pistons are produced in a variety of batch sizes, with the smallest quantities often made in a short time frame, typically just a few weeks. We have built our operations on the back of a pedigree in Formula 1, where time is of the essence, but not at the expense of performance or reliability. Our approach to piston manufacturing follows the same ethos, where we can guarantee speed and quality.
These are usually billet pistons which allow for rapid testing of alternative skirt profiles, crown designs and other features. From our in-house facilities, we are able to ensure perfection of engine pistons at every stage of the process. We draw on our fully equipped metrology and laboratory departments for in-process dimensional inspection, as well as destructive and non-destructive testing capability. Designs can be inspected post-test to support the design optimisation process.
Manufacturers come to us because of our one-stop-shop philosophy; our facilities include a variety of dynos and test rigs which add a crucial quality control aspect to our customer service. We can also scale projects up or down depending on production volume of piston parts. In addition to low volumes, we also have the capacity to manufacture large batch sizes of production pistons. We supply a number of specialist roadcar and sportscar manufacturers with all of their piston requirements. Among them are Aston Martin and Gordon Murray Automotive, whose V12 projects are redefining performance figures with our technology at their hearts.
The highest performance road cars in the world will have engines fitted with our pistons, fulfilling envelope-pushing criteria that reinforces our position at the forefront of automotive technology. Pushing the boundaries of performance is what our company is all about, and we deploy the very latest technology to meet ever-evolving customer demands. We have the capability to supply advanced Metal Matrix Composite (MMC pistons) in production quantities to increase performance levels from the engine, while maintaining the exceptional durability for which Cosworth has become known.
