Steering Pinion Shafts

Fully finished steering pinions machined via helical pinion hobbing & power skiving techniques.

Steering Pinion Manufacturing

Srimukha is a global leader in high-speed steering pinion and pinion shaft manufacturing. We operate a dedicated vertical for power steering pinions, providing direct supply to global automotive OEMs.

Manufacturing Capabilities & Machinery

Our steering pinion lines incorporate state-of-the-art European machining configurations:

  • EMAG Koepfer K-160: We run 11 high-speed, 8-axis CNC gear hobbing machines dedicated to steering pinions, ensuring high-speed repeatability and tight tolerances.
  • Helical Pinion Hobbing & Skiving: Integrated gear hobbing and pinion skiving processes allow us to achieve DIN Class 7 precision before heat treatment.
  • Cold Forged Blanks: Blank shafts are forged in-house on our multi-station parts formers to align the metallurgical grain structures.

Engineering Technical Details

Our steering pinions are case-hardened to withstand high steering stresses and ensure noise-free rack contact:
