Automotive Shift Level
This shift lever connects the shifter and the gear in ZF automotive gearboxes. This part was originally cast in aluminum but required tapping and other secondary operations in order to meet the close tolerances. Thanks to close collaboration with the customer, the...
Caster Housing
This part was cast with Zincopor(R) technology, which resulted in a weight reduction of 25%. With an annual production rate of 235,000 part/year, this represents a 10-ton reduction of zinc alloy.
Central Console
Utilizing zinc alloys to create this part allowed for outstanding control of each step and parameter involved in the full process, from design to final part to achieve, to achieve the perfect design. With die casting, the same surface quality and appearance could be...
Electronic Connector
The key benefits to this product’s design was a close cooperation between die caster and customer through a clipping system. It utilizes modern assembling technology, and because it does not involve a screw, creep is not a risk.
Gear Knob AMG (Mercedes)
This casting part was originally produced in die cast aluminum. It could be produced only with disproportionate effort and high scrap rates. The parting plane in the casting could never reach the surface quality standards because at that position was a vacuum...
High Tension Cage
This part is a device component warranting the operators security during intervention on high-tension lines. The reasons behind choosing zinc alloy include the product’s complex tool design, the combination of thin wall casting and rigidity, and the dimensional...
Jeweller’s perfume
The famous Parisian jeweler Boucheron has created a perfume with a particularly outstanding design of bottle – an enlargement of a ring. The blue cap symbolizes a cut stone, while the bottle itself is supported in a fine gold-plated ring. This part – die cast in zinc...
Motor Chassis
This chassis for a motor drive unit for an automatic opening roller door was made from several pressed metal parts prior to being designed as a zinc die casting. Die casting in zinc alloy 3 provided numerous benefits: 1.) Additional features such as pockets, the...
Perfume Vaporizer for Hand Bags
This set of six parts, four of which are made of Zamak, makes up a rechargeable perfume vaporizer. There are several notable characteristics of the final product that illustrate the versatility of the zinc alloy pressure die casting process: complexity of the assembly...
Remote car release key, design elements
People carry this cast part with them in many variations: a design element of the car key. The demand for a high-quality look, an appealing, cool feel and the requirements for a robust, largely scratch-resistant surface led to the decision to use zinc as a material....
Shielded connector for electrical engineering
Plug connections in electrical engineering are highly complex components that have to be delicate yet stable due to the space available. Added to this is the shielding function of different conductors in the housing. The award-winning shield housing is a true...
Shift paddles on a Porsche steering wheel
A zinc die-casting application in the absolute premium range: This award-winning cast part is tangible on the steering wheel of a Porsche sports car and makes acceleration an experience. The paddles are attached to both sides of the back of the steering wheel and are...
Subframe and Carriage
The three parts of this design form a subassembly that measures the thickness of ophthalmic lenses before edging. The frame ensures the palpate lever guidance in the ophthalmic glass machine tool. Then, the glass is machined with the contour note during the palpate...
Toothed Wheel
This toothed wheel consists of two parts which are assembled with cast-in spigots and bolts in special steel. The parts are made in zinc alloy ZA-27, and apart from trimming, receive no machining or other finishing operations. The part is produced in two sizes, the...
