A passion for precision forging creates new horizons in metal technology.

Nakatsuji Limited Precision Forging Division

Precision Cold/Warm Forging

Cold/Warm forging realizes higher precision, greater strength, and improved wear resistance. Cold/Warm forging makes for a high production rate through material savings and requiring very little or no finishing work, and results in a significant reduction in cost. In the cold forging process, the workpiece is compressed in a mold at room temperature. In the case of warm forging, the workpiece is compressed in a mold below the recrystallization temperature, and has the advantage of forming a more complicated shape than in the cold forging process. We have achieved greater precision in the mass production of auto parts such as CV joints (produced by enclosed die forging), as well as products having a longitudinal bore spline configuration, gears for hydraulic machinery, and various industrial instruments.

Advantage of Nakatsuji Limited

Our unique Integrated Production System can meet customer requirements for the accuracy and function of individual parts.

We achieve the accuracy and functions required by customers for individual parts. We design everything in the production process, from the selection of raw materials and the proper production process, to the finished product. We have worked hard to meet the needs of individual customers by streamlining processes and raising quality by the fully enclosed die forging of cold/warm forged auto parts and drivetrain component parts, which require higher intensity and wear resistance.
At Nakatsuji Limited our goal is realizing the best match of forging and machining, in addition to perfecting forging technologies. The result is enhanced precision and reduction in cost.

Our unique Integrated Production System achieves the accuracy and functions required by customers for individual parts.

Unified control of production, sales, inventory, and purchasing, through bar codes.

At Nakatsuji Limited, unified control of production, sales, inventory, and purchasing, by utilizing bar codes, has made for a speedy and precise production and sales control system. By this unique system, we have established quick and accurate traceability resulting in shorter lead times and enhanced quality.

    Constant velocity joints allow a drive shaft to transmit power at a variable angle and at a constant rotational speed, without an appreciable increase in friction or play.

    Door Closers

    A door closer should provide a smooth, controlled closing action to the door after the door has been opened and released. A modern rack and pinion door closer provides this function through a regulated hydraulic circuit within the closer.
