Automotive Parts We Machine

Brassland is a precision brass-component manufacturer in Jamnagar, India, supplying turned and milled parts to automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in 40+ countries. We machine the brass parts that go inside vehicle systems — fuel-system fittings, brake-line unions and connectors, sensor bodies, transmission components, pneumatic-line connectors and EV/HV connector parts — from ELV-compliant alloys (CW617N, CW612N, CW625N, and lead-free CW724R). Every part is turned and milled to your drawing on Swiss-type and CNC machines (no casting) and inspected in-house; we provide PPAP-capable documentation under our ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 systems (IATF 16949-aligned practices — Brassland is not IATF 16949 certified). Choosing the grade? See our automotive alloy guide →

Brassland is a build-to-print machining supplier. You send the drawing and tolerances; we turn and mill the part in the specified alloy and inspect it to your print. We don't design the component or qualify its function — many of the parts we make reach OEM and Tier-1 assembly lines through our customers without us knowing the final application. The part families below are what our CNC and Swiss-turning lines are best suited to. If your part isn't shown, send the drawing and we'll tell you honestly whether it fits our processes.

Where Brass Parts Fit in the Vehicle

A single vehicle carries hundreds of small precision brass parts across its fuel, brake, powertrain, sensing and pneumatic systems. Brassland turns and mills these parts to your drawing — the part families below show where our CNC and Swiss-turning lines fit. Safety-critical components are machined to your approved print; design validation and type approval remain with the vehicle or system manufacturer.

Fuel & Air Systems

Fuel delivery, return and vapour lines plus air and intake connections rely on leak-tight brass fittings.

Parts we machine

Union bodies, banjo bolts and fittings, T-pieces, hose-end and quick-connect bodies, adaptors and reducers.

Key requirements: Fuel and ethanol-blend compatibility, leak-tight sealing faces and consistent thread engagement. Safety-related parts are made to your drawing — validation and approval stay with the buyer.
Brake & Hydraulic Lines

Brake and clutch hydraulic circuits use precision brass union and connector bodies.

Parts we machine

Brake union bodies, bleed screws, connector and junction bodies, line adaptors and tube fittings.

Key requirements: Pressure integrity, precise thread geometry and clean sealing faces. Brake parts are safety-critical — Brassland machines to the approved print; functional qualification and type approval are the buyer's responsibility.
EV Battery & High-Voltage Systems

On-board EV power paths need high-conductivity machined parts.

Parts we machine

Battery-pack terminals, busbars and busbar connectors, HV harness connector bodies and contact carriers.

Key requirements: High electrical conductivity, low contact resistance and dimensional precision. Lead-free C11000 copper and CW614N brass — no ELV exemption required. For charging equipment see EV Charging.
Sensors, Actuators & Valves

Engine, chassis and emissions sensors mount in machined brass housings.

Parts we machine

Sensor and thermistor housings, pressure-transducer bodies, valve and solenoid bodies, ports, bosses and gauge adaptors.

Key requirements: Repeatable sealing faces, tight concentricity and controlled surface finish for reliable sensor mounting and sealing.
Transmission, Pneumatic & Vacuum

Transmission control, pneumatic and vacuum lines use small turned brass connectors.

Parts we machine

Transmission and cooler fittings, pneumatic line connectors, vacuum-line adaptors, push-in fitting bodies and control-valve parts.

Key requirements: Burr-free internal bores, dimensional consistency and high thread repeatability for low-leak connections.
Why precision matters

A single vehicle can contain hundreds of machined brass fittings, and a model line runs to millions of units a year. A leaking fuel union or a loose terminal becomes a field failure — so automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers demand leak-tight sealing surfaces, precise thread geometry, batch-to-batch repeatability and full material traceability. We machine to your drawing and supply EN 10204 3.1 certificates with PPAP-capable documentation; functional validation, safety qualification and type approval of the finished part stay with the vehicle or system manufacturer.

ELV & material compliance
ELV Directive 2000/53/EC Annex II Entry 2(c) compliant leaded brass (CW617N, CW612N, CW625N) and lead-free CW724R. RoHS and REACH materials with IMDS data and EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates on request. Conflict-minerals (CMRT) scope letters available for Tier-1 supply chains.
PPAP-capable documentation
PPAP-capable submissions — dimensional results, material certificates and process capability data — under our ISO 9001 quality system with IATF 16949-aligned working practices. Brassland is not IATF 16949 certified.
Dimensional precision & repeatability
Swiss-type turning typically to ±0.01 mm on critical diameters, sealing faces and threads, with batch-to-batch consistency held across high-volume runs.
Volume & speed
High-volume Swiss and multi-spindle CNC for millions of identical parts without dimensional drift, plus rapid prototyping from your CAD to inspected brass samples.
Local sourcing & manufacturing
Made in Jamnagar — India's brass-parts hub

Brassland machines in the GIDC Dared (Jamnagar) cluster — the heart of India's brass-component industry — on in-house high-precision CNC and Swiss-type turning lines. That means deep alloy availability, competitive high-volume pricing and fast prototyping for automotive OEM and Tier-1 supply chains.

Precision Manufacturing Capabilities

In-house turning, milling and finishing — scaled for prototype runs through high-volume automotive production.

CNC Swiss Turning
Small connector bodies, pins, sensor parts and precision fittings turned complete off the bar — tolerances typically to ±0.01 mm.
Multi-Axis CNC Machining
Complex valve, manifold and housing bodies with cross-holes and milled features, machined from bar and forged blanks.
High-Speed Production Turning
High-volume unions, adaptors, banjo fittings and turned parts produced without dimensional drift.
Secondary Operations
Cross-drilling, slotting, milling, knurling, deburring, thread rolling and assembly to your drawing.

Finishes to OEM spec — natural brass, nickel and electroless-nickel, tin and passivation — for corrosion resistance, conductivity and service life. Brass forging is outsourced to qualified partners; we do not cast.

In-House Optical Sorting — 100% Inspection

For high-volume parts we run automated optical sorting cells that inspect every piece and remove non-conforming parts before packing — backing the dimensional checks our inspection room already performs.

Every part inspected
100% automated optical inspection on selected critical features for high-volume runs — not just sample-based AQL checks.
Multi-camera detection
Multiple cameras capture diameters, lengths, bores, thread presence and surface or cosmetic flaws around the full part.
Automatic rejection
Out-of-tolerance or defective pieces are separated automatically before packing, reducing the risk of mixed or non-conforming parts.
Batch data & traceability
Pass/fail counts and reject rates are recorded per lot and supplied alongside EN 10204 3.1 certificates on request.
Why it matters for automotive

Automotive programs expect consistent, conforming deliveries at scale. Our optical sorting cells inspect 100% of selected features on high-volume parts and remove non-conforming pieces before they are packed — lowering the risk of out-of-tolerance or mixed parts reaching your line. Inspection results are recorded per batch; final functional validation and approval of the finished part remain the responsibility of the vehicle or system manufacturer.
