About Us

Camshaft Manufacturing is our Strength at LSM

Providing Camshaft Solutions

We offer full-service camshaft manufacturing for a wide array of camshafts from the smallest experimental single lobe cam to high volume heavy-duty cams measuring in excess of 2.5 meters. Our manufacturing know-how results from completing thousands of different camshaft projects for hundreds of customers since the mid 1990’s. We have a deep understanding of a range of camshaft manufacturing processes, and regularly work with a variety of materials.

We also offer machining services for critical components such as cylinder heads, blocks and connecting rods. To learn more about our capabilities, contact us today.

About Our Process

At LSM, our process helps ensure that all your needs are met.

Review your RFQ – Evaluate a camshaft product and offer input for performance and manufacturability
Reverse Engineer – When drawings are not available we can use our metrological capabilities to reverse engineer your camshaft.
Quote – We provide a customized quote in response to your request.
APQP – Advanced Product Quality Plan (APQP) activities to ensure that we are in agreement on all of the requirements
Process Selection – Develop the manufacturing process for your specific camshaft
Manufacture – Manufacture the first run of parts
Inspect – Produce the FAIR (First Article Inspection Report) and PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) to the level that you require
Deliver – Deliver products when promised

Our Delivery

Our goal is to deliver your parts when you need them. We typically can provide a new part within 20-24 weeks and can expedite parts when requested. We consistently maintain on-time-delivery performance of greater than 95% on all orders and 100% on those with promised delivery dates.

About Our Capabilities

At LSM we have all of the capabilities to produce your camshafts. These capabilities include:

Inspection – We have the ability to measure any feature on any cam. We use a Zeiss CMM for surface measurement and an Adcole 911 for lobe and journal inspection.
Gear Hobbing – We regularly cut gears on camshafts.
Induction Hardening – We have CNC controlled hardeners that can get you an ideal case depth on your camshaft.
CNC Cylindrical Grinders – Perfect for grinding journals, thrust faces and mounting faces.
CNC Lobe Grinding – Able to grind nearly any lobe with an acceptable negative radius of curvature (NROC).
Camshaft Polishing – For any application that needs a super smooth finish with the ability to hold surface finish better than 6 microinch.
CNC Machining – We have CNC lathes as well as 4 and 5-axis CNC machining centers.
Swiss Lathe – We can produce nearly any part up to 38mm in diameter on our 9-axis Swiss lathes. This is the perfect solution for lifter bushings, phaser bolts and more.
