Approximately one-third of all screw machine parts produced in the United States are used in automotive applications, and Davenport machines have long been utilized to manufacture high-volume automotive components integrated directly into vehicle systems. Common examples include flow valves for shock absorbers, needle valves for carburetors, tire valve inserts, bleeder screws, hydraulic fluid regulators used in braking systems, windshield wiper pump shafts, diesel engine components, and spark plug parts.
Gates Albert routinely produces automotive components such as barb fittings, lock nuts, threaded inserts, lock bolts, inlet valves, valve housings, cooling nozzles, and precision fluid control components. These parts often require accurate feature control, secure fastening characteristics, and dependable performance under pressure, temperature variation, and vibration, making precision machining and repeatability essential. Our ISO 9001-certified quality management system, IATF-aligned automotive manufacturing practices, extensive PPAP experience, and full-service production support enable Gates Albert to meet the rigorous quality and documentation requirements demanded by automotive customers worldwide.
