Products & Services
HIGH-SPEED END-FORMING– fast tube forming, increasing of wall thickness + reducing/expanding outer diameter + gastight closing of tube for:
Forming of single-piece rotor shaft for EV in approx. 20 – 30 sec.
Or
Closing of tubes gastight within 8 – 12 sec.
Products: rotor shaft for EV, shock absorber tubes, airbag pressure vessels, high pressure gas vessels, conveyor rollers
FORGING HOT + COLD
– hot or cold forming of tube ends.
Products: axles, stabilizers and air suspension pistons
UPSETTING
– hot upsetting to increase the wall thickness, outer diameter or/and inner diameter of tubes.
Products: OCTG drill pipes, truck and car stabilizers, pressure tanks, rebar, rotor shafts
REDUCING / EXPANDING
– cold reducing or expanding of tube ends.
Products: OCTG casing up to 20´´, steering shafts, scaffold rods, airbag pressure vessels
Rotor Shafts formed from single tube. High forming degrees and fast forming operations for a high quality product.
Rotor shaft
GFU use 3 different technologies in combination to produce high perfomance, light weigth rotor shafts for EV, BEV cars.
- Upsetting
- High speed end forming
- Pushpointing
Main advantages for the rotor shaft - made by GFU:
- ligth weight
- very low unbalance
- low cycle time
- no welding seam
- higher dynamics of the motor
- low part variety
- low manufacturing cost
- high performance EV, BEV, e-drive, E-Motion, E-Mobility, Rotor shaft production line
