Types of con rods

Many of the world’s leading producers use connecting rods from capricorn – as prototypes, for test series and small batch series as well as for motor sport.

TITANIUM CONNECTING RODS set the benchmark on racetracks around the world. Thanks to their low weight, they are particularly suitable for high speed Motorsports engines.

STEEL CONNECTING RODS are suitable for a multiplicity of applications. A special shot peening process increases the material density on the component surface, resulting in excellent strength and durability of the final product. Our engineers determine the correct steel grate on the basis of your needs – from OEM product to high-end race engines.  

CRACKED CONNECTING RODS
Generally, capricorn fabricates cracked (or split) connecting rods as prototypes, predominantly for high-volume manufacturers who use these connecting rods for testing. The connecting rod is first fabricated as a single piece, etched with a break or scoreline and then precisely fracture split into two pieces.
