The auto component industry is poised at the threshold of a quantum leap. The group plans to capitalise on this potential be setting foot into the auto component market through strategic alliances and acqusitions.
Raymond has made a foray into Automotive Components by acquiring a controlling stake in a company manufacturing Flywheel Starter Gears and Integral Shaft Bearings for Water Pumps- Ring Plus Aqua Ltd.
Ring Plus Aqua manufactures its automotive components at two separate locations in integrated factories at Sinnar near Nasik. The Company has been accredited with the BVQI ISO/TS 16949 certificate and has earned the goodwill of global giants like GM, FORD, CATERPILLAR, CUMMINS, ARROW ENGINE COMPANY etc.
Starter Ring Gears:
Ring Plus Aqua specializes in the manufacture of Starter Rings for petrol and diesel engines covering a range from 150 mm to 1250 mm in diameter.
High Precision, automated and computer-controlled machineries are engaged in the production line, turning out Starter Gears of the highest quality.
Flexplate Flywheel Assembly
The manufacturing process consists of making Discs and Ring Gears in varying geometry and sizes and putting them together.
The discs are made out of best quality steel sheets, through blanking piercing and forming / drawing operations on heavy-duty presses.
The formed discs are welded onto the Ring Gear on a fully automated MIG welding machine.
Subsequently 100% Flexplate Assemblies are perfectly balanced on a balancing machine with DRO.
Current Range comprises of 72 different types of applications.
Profile Sheet Formed Metal Pulleys
A 1000 sq. meter plant has a capacity to produce half a million pulleys per annum.
The profile forming division manufactures Ply-‘V’ Pulleys from 3 Groove to 10 Groove for Alternators, Power Steering Pumps, Fan Pulleys, Sensor Wheels and Water Pump Applications.
The profile forming division uses a CAD/CAM facility for technical developments, product designs and simulations.
Integral Shaft Water Pump Bearings
Offers exhaustive range of Shaft bearings in the world, from 20mm to 60mm outer sleeve diameter.
The products are chamfered for easy fitment into pumps, the hardening and tempering process add to a longer life span and ensure the required degree of toughness.
Manufactures integral Shaft Bearings in Ball/Ball and Ball/Roller configuration for automotive applications.
The plant is spread over 3000 sq. meters and has a capacity to produce 3 million shaft bearings per annum
