Engineering competence in materials technology and machine building.
Sintered metal – precision manufactured for the world's most demanding markets
Schunk Sinter Metals develops and manufactures high-precision sintered metal & MIM components for industries that accept no compromises. From the traction motor in an electric vehicle to the engine component in an aircraft, from the actuator to the functional part in a wristwatch – Schunk's powder metallurgy solutions are used wherever tight tolerances, economical series production, and long-term reliability are required at the same time.
Materials expertise as the common foundation
What connects all our industry solutions is the depth of our materials expertise. Over 100 years of experience in powder metallurgy, an accredited testing laboratory, and three complementary manufacturing processes – axial pressing, MIM, and additive manufacturing – allow us to develop the technically and economically optimal component for every requirement. We get involved early in our customers' product development and support the project from the first material idea to qualified series delivery.
The markets we develop and manufacture for
Sintered metal & MIM components for powertrain, comfort systems, brakes, and body applications – in million-unit volumes, ready-to-install, IATF 16949 certified.
Valve train components, camshaft phasers, turbocharger parts, and pump components – for the highest thermal and mechanical loads.
Soft magnetic SMC components, sintered bearings for electric motors, actuators, and coolant pumps – for more efficient, more reliable electric vehicles.
Sintered components for seat adjustment, power steering, mirror adjustment, and safety-critical systems such as ABS and electric parking brakes.
ABS armatures, eccentric rings, output gears for parking brakes, and actuators – 100% tested, qualified for safety-critical applications.
MIM precision parts for watches, wearables, power tools, locks, and household appliances – excellent surface finishes, medium to high production volumes
MIM engine components, guide vanes, actuators, and structural parts – aerospace-certified, for both conventional and new air mobility concepts.
Biocompatible MIM components for surgical instruments, endoscopy, and medical robotics.
MIM components for defense applications – manufactured entirely in Europe, for the highest qualification requirements.
Gears, bearings, hydraulic components, actuators, and SMC parts for mechanical engineering, robotics, pumps, and power engineering.
Your development partner – from idea to series
Schunk Sinter Metals does not see itself as a contract manufacturer. We are a development partner – with our own materials research, our own tool making, and an accredited testing laboratory that supports the entire process. Simultaneous engineering, sinter-friendly design consulting, and IATF 16949-certified production based on a zero-defect philosophy form the foundation for partnerships that often last for decades.
