At LSM, we can produce nearly any cam of any size and for any application. We specialize in manufacturing the highest quality camshafts tailored for niche markets, with lot sizes ranging from ten to ten thousand. We have the capability to produce production runs of 10 cams on demand to tens of thousands per year.

Our unwavering commitment to quality, performance, and quick turnaround times sets us apart in any industry, for any application, and at any quantity. Our state-of-the-art machining and inspection capabilities, including advanced CNC cam grinding, Zeiss CMM, and Adcole cam measurement systems, ensure that every camshaft we produce meets your specifications. We employ rigorous statistical process controls to maintain the highest standards of precision and reliability in our manufacturing processes.

CNC Production Start to Finish

Our fully CNC-driven processes offer exceptional flexibility, allowing us to adapt quickly to your demands. We process in small batches but have the capacity to scale up to high quantities, ensuring that we can meet both low volume and high volume production needs efficiently.

Our manufacturing system is ISO 9001:2015 registered, and we are currently pursuing IATF 16949:2016 registration, further demonstrating our commitment to quality and continuous improvement.

Material, Feature, and Process Selections

Let LSM Guide You

With years of camshaft experience we’ve seen virtually every configuration from pushrod and roller finger follower to direct acting and even desmodromic. Are you after the highest performance possible?  Are you looking for weight savings?  Are you looking to minimize investment in tooling so that you can quickly make changes?  What’s the best material?  Should your camshaft be billet or cast?  What are the best coatings?  How should you thrust the camshaft in the engine?  Are you trying to portray a high end product or an economical solution?

These are all questions that LSM can help you answer.  We know what works well in engines and what doesn’t.  We can walk through the tradeoffs with you.  By involving LSM earlier in your process you’ll not only have a partner that can produce prototypes but you’ll have a proven process for production.  Our flexible CNC process will also allow you to make changes as you update your design without incurring large tooling charges.

Quality Process

Trusted Quality With Production Intent Process

LSM’s production camshafts are all manufactured to our quality-controlled processes.  This ensures that the cams that you get for your prototype builds and early test engines will be the same as those for your production engines.  Your first prototypes will match your design requirements and will be inspected to whatever level that you request.  Our process is ISO 9001:2015 registered and we expect to be IATF 16949:2016 registered in early 2025.
