It has a peg boss at the front, a curved lever arm and a pivot boss at the rear that can be machined with a spline to fit the shift shaft. The rider flicks the lever up and down with the toe, so the arm must hold its shape and dimensions under repeated use and accidental impacts.<\/p>\n<p>Al Forge Tech (AFT) closed-die hot forges the peg boss, arm and pivot boss in one operation with grain flow continuous along the curved arm. After heat treatment, the pivot spline or clamp bore and the peg hole are CNC-machined, and the relative position and angle of both ends are verified on CMM. The finish can be anodized or shot-blasted.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Features<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Peg boss, arm and pivot boss forged in one piece<\/li>\n<li>Pivot boss machinable with a spline for the shift shaft<\/li>\n<li>Relative position and angle of both ends measured on CMM<\/li>\n<li>Anodized or shot-blasted finish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Forged Aluminum Gear Shift Pedal Specifications and Manufacturing Capability<\/h2>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table class=\"table table-bordered table-striped\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Item<\/th>\n<th>Details<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Product category<\/td>\n<td>Aluminum Forging Moto Parts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Application<\/td>\n<td>Foot gear shifting on ATVs, powersport vehicles and motorcycles<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Primary process<\/td>\n<td>Closed-die hot forging (hot forging presses 600T\u20138,000T)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Material<\/td>\n<td>Per customer specification; heavy-motorcycle parts produced in grades such as 6061-T6, 2014-T6 and 7075-T6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Heat treatment<\/td>\n<td>In-house T4 solution treatment (8 units) and T6 artificial aging (7 units), set by alloy and strength requirement<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Secondary machining<\/td>\n<td>CNC machining (52 machining centers, 30 lathes), deburring, vibratory finishing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Surface finish<\/td>\n<td>Anodizing (including hard anodizing), shot blasting, e-coating or painting, as required<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Inspection<\/td>\n<td>Zeiss CMM (4 units), hardness testers, spectrometer, fluorescent penetrant inspection line<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dimensions and tolerances<\/td>\n<td>Per customer 2D\/3D drawings<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Quality system<\/td>\n<td>IATF 16949:2016, ISO 14001:2015<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Forged Aluminum Gear Shift Pedal Manufacturing Process<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Drawing review and DFM<\/strong>: we confirm alloy, load direction and critical dimensions, then run QForm simulation to predict metal flow and defect risk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Die design and manufacturing<\/strong>: the number of die sets (for example, blocker and finisher dies) is planned around part complexity, and die contours are checked with a portable 3D scanner.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aft-forge.com\/forging-service\/hot-forging-service\/\">Hot forging<\/a><\/strong>: closed-die forming on 600T\u20138,000T hot forging presses creates a continuous grain flow that follows the part contour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heat treatment<\/strong>: T4 solution treatment and T6 artificial aging are performed in-house, with parameters set by alloy and strength requirement.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aft-forge.com\/forging-service\/aluminum-cnc-machining-services\/\">CNC machining<\/a> and finishing<\/strong>: holes, threads and mating surfaces are machined, followed by deburring, vibratory finishing, shot blasting or anodizing as required.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inspection and shipment<\/strong>: dimensions, hardness and chemical composition are verified with CMM, hardness testers and a spectrometer, with lot traceability kept under IATF 16949.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>How does a shift pedal differ from a rear brake pedal?<\/h3>\n<p>A rear brake pedal is pressed with the ball of the foot and has a large anti-slip pad at the front. A shift pedal is flicked up and down with the toe, usually with a peg boss at the front and a pivot boss that splines onto the shift shaft. Their load directions and operation differ, so the arm bend and section are designed accordingly.<\/p>\n<h3>How is the spline in the shift pedal machined?<\/h3>\n<p>The pivot spline must mate with the shift-shaft spline and is usually broached or CNC-machined. AFT has an in-house broaching machine to cut internal splines after heat treatment and checks the fit with gauges; the angle between spline and peg hole is measured on CMM to ensure correct gear positions.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you assess forging feasibility while the Forged Aluminum Gear Shift Pedal is still in design?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Al Forge Tech works mainly as an OEM supplier, and our engineers can give design-for-manufacturability (DFM) feedback at the concept or drawing stage, such as adjusting thin ribs, abrupt section changes or draft angles to avoid laps and underfill. QForm simulation predicts metal flow early, and the results are cross-checked against our die design experience.<\/p>\n<h3>Is heat treatment for the Forged Aluminum Gear Shift Pedal done in-house?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Al Forge Tech operates 8 T4 solution treatment units and 7 T6 artificial aging units on site, so the Forged Aluminum Gear Shift Pedal can be solution treated, quenched and aged in the same facility before machining and inspection. Keeping heat treatment in-house removes inter-plant transport, reduces lead-time risk and keeps lot traceability within one quality system. Parameters are set according to the alloy grade and your specification.<\/p>\n<h3>Can Al Forge Tech supply the Forged Aluminum Gear Shift Pedal from forging through machining?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Forging, heat treatment, CNC machining, surface finishing and inspection are integrated in one facility: 52 CNC machining centers (40 four-axis and 12 4.5-axis), 30 lathes (14 with robotic loading), plus broaching, burnishing and centerless grinding. The Forged Aluminum Gear Shift Pedal can be delivered as a forged blank, semi-finished or fully machined part.<\/p>\n<h2>Request a Quote for the Forged Aluminum Gear Shift Pedal<\/h2>\n<p>Developing a new Forged Aluminum Gear Shift Pedal or converting an existing part to aluminum forging?
