Shiloh Industries Develops Lightweight Aluminum Cast Rear Solid Beam Axle Housing
July 27 2017 - 2:37PM
An industry leader in lightweighting, Shiloh Industries, Inc.
(NASDAQ:SHLO) has reduced the weight of a solid rear beam axle
housing by 11 kilograms or 24 pounds.
Utilizing our proprietary, cutting-edge casting technology,
Shiloh engineers were able to reduce the part weight of a
traditional cast iron rear beam axle housing by over 40%, creating
one of the lightest pickup truck solid beam axle housings in the
industry. This innovative design also reduces secondary
machining operations saving production time and cost, without
compromising strength or performance.
“We believe we are the first in the industry able to produce a
pickup truck rear beam axle housing in aluminum,” said David
Jaeger, senior vice president and managing director, CastLight.
“This exciting new product is another example of Shiloh’s unique
ability to develop innovative lightweighting technologies while
assisting our customers in optimizing the strength, weight and
performance attributes of their vehicles.”
Shiloh customized the chassis component for an OEM to further
reduce weight on the launch of their 2019 model year light duty
pickup trucks.
