Progressive Stamping of Steel Shift Gates

These progressive stamped internal and external shift gates, displayed to the left, are used as components within automobile steering columns. These parts serve as an example of Ramcel Engineering’s superior progressive stamping capabilities, which allowed our company to build 2,000,000 of these steel shift gates each year with weekly releases.

To begin this project, Ramcel Engineering used a series of 400- to 600-ton Minster presses to build the gates from 1008 and 1010 HRPO steel. These presses were able to run at 50 cycles per minute and meet precision tolerances down to ± .005″.

We also deburred and heat treated all units to create a smooth, hardened finish. The finished components were put into VCI bags (400 pieces per bag) and placed onto 45″ x 48″ pallets, which were then shipped to our client’s facility in the Midwest.

Offering top-notch progressive stamping and manufacturing services, Ramcel Engineering was able to satisfy the high-volume needs of our customer, providing quality, precision products well within their production deadline.
