Aluminum CNC Parts – Bicycle Spare Parts
Advantages of Aluminum CNC Parts
Lightweight
- Aluminum has a low density. CNC machining reduces weight and strength without compromising the material.
High Strength & Stiffness
- Grades like 6061T6 and 7075T6 (aerospace aluminum) offer excellent weight to strength ratios..
- Suitable parts are those that have high stresses, like derailleur hangers and crank arms.
Precision Machining
- CNC turning allows for tight tolerances (0.01mm) which allow parts like headset bearing seats or bottom brackets to be perfectly fitted.
Materials of Aluminum CNC Parts
Applications of Aluminum CNC Parts Used for Bicycle Spare Parts
1. Drivetrain Components
- Shimano XTR, reducing weight and maintaining stiffness.
2. Steering & Suspension Parts
- Stems & Handlebars–Topology optimized design to increase strength and decrease weight.
- Headset Components: Precision bearing seats to ensure smooth steering.
3. Braking System
- Caliper brackets made of heat-resistant CNC aluminum (e.g. SRAM Guide brakes can handle temperatures up to 200°C+.
