Contact SMEPI for rocker arm ball joint turning

For the machining of precision mechanical elements that meet quality and safety standards, a qualified and experienced manufacturer should be used. In this sense, SMEPI is a partner of choice in rocker arm ball joint turning and the manufacture of various made-to-measure parts dedicated to high-tech industry.

​

Bar turning, a machining process for precision parts

​

The manufacture of precision mechanical parts is a delicate field which requires excellent knowledge of the technical and chemical peculiarities of metals and alloys used to create elements on the one hand, but also a perfect mastery of the various machining methods. Compliance with standards is also essential as well as a fleet of high-performance machines and devices at the cutting edge of technology.

​

Indeed, the sectors in which the pieces created will be used require perfection in terms of form and quality, but also in terms of performance and longevity. Therefore, the turning of the rocker arm ball joint can only be entrusted to a specialized company. Playing the role of valve support and installed inside an internal combustion engine, this equipment is subjected to high temperatures, various mechanical stresses and very high pressure.

​

To adapt to these different conditions, it must be optimally designed having the necessary technical characteristics to be able to fulfill its function correctly.

​

Likewise, efficiency and robustness are essential for the proper functioning of the entire installation. The use of a machining expert is essential for the custom manufacture of this mechanical part.

​

How is bar turning done?

​

Bar turning is a manufacturing process in which the machining of turned parts of revolution such as screws or bolts is carried out by removing material from metal bars or metal wire in a torch using a cutting tool. This technique consists of introducing the raw material into the machining material which is shaped by a series of these cutting tools. The size, complexity and precision of the parts obtained depend on the number, shape and arrangement of these cutting tools.

​

Traditional automatic lathes operate using cam systems, while more modern machines are digitally controlled, which adds to the precision of the result. As for cutting tools, they are usually made of carbide or high speed steel, and are constantly lubricated and cooled by spraying with cutting oil.

​

If you want to acquire bar turning parts such as a rocker arm ball joint , you must call in specialists who have perfect knowledge of this process. At SMEPI, you can benefit from our know-how and our experience in bar turning to have high quality parts.
