High-load bi-metal bearings for gearbox shafts in heavy machinery and power transmission systems.
Thrust washers in hydraulic pumps and motors requiring precise axial load handling and low friction.
Connecting rod and crankshaft bearings for commercial vehicle engines and drivetrain assemblies.
Corrosion-resistant bi-metal bearings for marine diesel engines operating in high-humidity environments.
Bearing inserts for reciprocating and rotary compressors in oil & gas and refrigeration applications.
Durable bushings and thrust washers for tractors, harvesters, and irrigation pump assemblies.
Steel mould preheated and coated with refractory wash to control cooling rate and surface quality.
Molten steel is poured into the rotating mould — centrifugal force eliminates porosity and ensures dense, uniform structure.
Bronze or white metal lining is cast onto the steel shell while still rotating — ensuring full metallurgical bond.
CNC turning and boring to final dimensions. Full dimensional and hardness inspection before despatch.
Tool design is done in-house using Unigraphics CAD software. Delcam is used to generate CNC code directly from 3D data, ensuring precision tooling with minimal lead times.
Casting simulation software evaluates filling and solidification prior to first production, ensuring defect-free castings from the very first pour.
Our Pattern Shop ensures all tooling is maintained and serviced throughout the life of the tool — guaranteeing consistent quality across repeat orders.
JN Metal's in-house inspection room is equipped with highly precise testing instruments for full dimensional and mechanical verification:
Chemical Analysis Guarantee
Full chemical analysis certificate provided with every batch — guaranteed per IS, BS & ASTM standards for all non-ferrous alloys.
