Aluminum Extrusion For Swingarm

Aluminum Extrusion For Swingarm

DIMOX is specialized in producing aluminum extrusion tube for swingarm. Swingarms are made from 6061-T6 specially extruded aluminum due to its compromise of strength and low weight. An extended swingarm is primarily a performance part for sportbike drag racing. It extends the motorcycle’s overall footprint for better off-the-line traction and stability. What it really does is reduce the chances that a high-horsepower motorcycle will wheelie.

How to make "Swingarms"

The process of building aswingarm begins by cutting and machining our exclusive bridged, extruded 6061-T6 rectangular tubing.

Select pieces are cut to size and then CNC machined to ensure precision sizing and fitment.

All billet components, including swingarm ends, front pivot tubes, shock mounts and adjusters are manufactured "in house" on our vertical CNC milling machines.

Completed billet components are cleaned and ready for welding.

Due to the thickness of the material, the billet swingarm ends are pre-heated to over 450 degrees before welding. This process insures a deep penetrating weld for ultimate strength and years of service.

Completed swingarm sides are then machined to fit the specific tube size of the front section of each specific bike model.

Once the sides are completed, it's time to start the construction process. The individual components are placed in a jig fixture and set to precise measurements.

We use only the highest quality welding equipment. The ability to control positive amperage, negative amperage, AC wave shape, and frequency gives us bragging rights to the highest quality and best looking welds in the industry! 

Once all main components are placed in the fixture, the welding process can begin. Precise welding is a trademark. 

After we remove the arm from the fixture, all required mounts and accessories are welded in place.

Once completed, the arm is cooled and checked for proper measurements, bearing fit and overall condition. 

Once the arm passes inspection, it is cleaned and prepped for either bare, chrome, powdercoat or show polished finish.

Here it is, the final product! When we receive an arm back from outside processing, it's time for final prepping and the assembly process. Chain sliders, adjuster bolts, and axle components are set in place and the arm is cleared for shipping!
