Cylinder Liners.
capricorn Automotive nickel-ceramic coated cylinder liners are at the forefront of high-performance engine technology, offering unmatched durability and efficiency for the most demanding applications.
Whether used in Formula 1 engines, aerospace propulsion systems or high-end performance applications, our nickel-ceramic coated cylinder liners are engineered to withstand the most demanding environments.
At capricorn Automotive, we ensure that every cylinder liner we produce meets the highest standards of precision, quality, and durability, helping our clients push the limits of engine performance.
Capabilities.
Our in-house proprietary nickel-ceramic coating process enhances the performance and longevity of cylinder liners by providing superior resistance to friction, wear, and thermal stress. This makes them ideal for high-performance engines used in motorsport, niche automotive, and aerospace applications, where engine reliability and longevity are critical. The coating also improves heat dissipation, reduces friction, and enhances the overall efficiency of the engine, resulting in better performance under extreme conditions.
Advanced Materials & Coatings.
We utilise the latest in material technologies including differing grades of aluminium, high strength steels and MMC.
Advancement in coating technologies also allows us to offer zinc phosphate, nickel PTFE, and xylan coating to the outside dimensions of the cylinder liners to prevent micro-welding, corrosion, and galling.
Innovation.
Whether it's a stand-alone dry liner or wet liner or as part of a cylinder block liner conversion we have the knowledge and expertise to find the right solution.
Our constant desire to push the boundaries for innovation is one of the main reasons for our continued long-term success along with the will to improve current products and to strive for perfection makes us what we are.
Our longstanding partnership with Loughborough University helps us to reinforce this vision keeping us very much at the cutting edge of engine technology.
