capricorn AUTOMOTIVE Ltd. offers high-performance wet or dry nickel-ceramic-plated cylinder liners to the motor racing and niche OEM industry

In close co-operation with the customer our engineering team will analyse the application requirements carefully to be able to deliver the best possible solution. Our precision manufacturing and processing techniques ensure the highest level of tolerances are consistently achieved to maintain our position as the choice supplier for high performance cylinder liners.

Our specialist in-house electrolytic Nickel-Ceramic plating facility has strict process controls to consistently maintain the highest level of bore coating quality and bond possible.  Our specialist knowledge and skills in honing this material result in a very high performing, hard wearing and low friction bore surface ideally suited for high performance and race applications.

Innovation needs impulses. Therefore we maintain a close formal partnership over many years with Loughborough University. This has given us a fundamental understanding of in-cylinder frictional losses – arguably the area with the greatest potential for performance enhancement in cylinder liners and piston development. Technical expertises and realizations from which you profit directly as a customer.
