Crafted from premium 40Cr alloy steel, our CAT C7 crankshaft (Part No. 271-5658) delivers outstanding mechanical properties far superior to traditional cast iron alternatives. It boasts a 27.9% increase in tensile strength and a 78.6% improvement in yield strength, ensuring greater resistance under high load conditions.
Each crankshaft undergoes a precision induction hardening treatment, forming a 3–5 mm hardened surface layer with a hardness of HRC 52–58. This process enhances wear resistance by 15% compared to nitrided cast iron crankshafts, making it ideal for long-term use in demanding engine environments.
Designed with both performance and longevity in mind, our crankshafts are trusted by global distributors and aftermarket professionals seeking consistent quality and reliability.
