Overview
Automotive & Auto Components
Every vehicle carries hundreds of knurled, threaded and geared parts: steering column shafts, starter and wiper motor armatures, gear shift knobs, engine studs and transmission gears. Auto-component makers run these parts in high volumes on CNC lathes, thread rollers and hobbing machines, where tool life and repeatability decide cost per part.
Rapid knurling tools, Malkar thread rolling dies, hob cutters and gears, and Apex leadscrews support these lines, as standard catalogue items or made to your drawing.
Advantages
Why auto-component makers choose us
Repeatable in volume
Consistent knurl and thread form part after part on production lines.
Stronger parts
Rolled threads and form knurls cold-form the material instead of cutting it.
Made in India, fast support
Shorter lead times and local engineering help.
Standard or custom
Catalogue sizes or profiles made to your drawing.
Three processes, one supplier
Knurling, thread rolling and gear cutting tools from one source.

Applications in Automotive & Auto Components
Press-fit knurling on motor and pump shafts
A straight knurl on the shaft locks rotor cores, commutators, impellers and couplings in place without keys, adhesives or splines.
Knurled inserts for plastic moulding
Diamond and straight knurls on brass inserts lock them into moulded plastic against pull-out and torque.
Thread rolling of bolts, studs and screws
Thread rolling dies form threads without removing material, giving stronger, smoother threads at high production rates.
Gear hobbing
Hob cutters generate spur and helical gears for gearboxes, pumps, machinery and vehicles.
Grip knurling on knobs, handles and thumb screws
Straight and diamond knurls give a secure, comfortable grip on control knobs, tool handles, adjusters and hand-tightened screws.
Press-in studs and wheel studs
A straight knurl under the head bites into the hole so the stud cannot turn when the nut is tightened.
