C-K Technologies serves engine manufacturers for diesel, gas, and natural gas engines, UAV/UAS propulsion developers, automotive and motorsport teams, tier-1 and tier-2 engine component suppliers, and R&D organizations focused on engine performance, durability, and emissions worldwide.
The company offers consulting in piston and cylinder design, engine sealing technology, precision measurement using proprietary tools, custom gage and test fixture design, advanced cylinder kit modeling with the PROMPT system, and research and development support for sealing and tribological systems.
C-K Technologies combines deep expertise in engine sealing systems with proprietary analytical and measurement tools like PROMPT, SEE 3D, and BEE 3D. It integrates modeling, precision measurement, and consulting under one roof and actively participates in SBIR research programs, providing clients with unique data-driven insights and customized hardware solutions.
The PROMPT system evaluates over 40 dimensional variables affecting cylinder kit performance, providing quantitative blowby predictions and qualitative oil consumption assessments. This allows clients to optimize designs virtually, reduce prototype costs, shorten development cycles, and improve engine reliability and emissions compliance.
Yes, C-K Technologies designs and manufactures custom precision gages and bench test fixtures tailored to client needs, including ring side flatness gages, piston ring profile gages, tangential tension gages, and specialized test rigs for wear and friction analysis.
The company's tools, such as the BEE 3D geometry gage, achieve sensor accuracy below 2 microns and high repeatability, enabling precise evaluation of bore roundness, cylindricity, and surface finish critical to engine sealing performance.
C-K Technologies participates in Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) programs as a prime contractor and subcontractor, focusing on advanced sealing systems, novel materials, lubricant systems, and experimental combustion engines, providing clients access to cutting-edge research and experimental data.
The company was founded by Harold E. McCormick, PE, a licensed Professional Engineer with over 27 years of experience in engine sealing solutions. Leadership involvement ensures senior-level attention and adherence to industry standards, reinforced by memberships in ASME and SAE.
Clients can contact C-K Technologies via phone or email, with clickable contact details provided on the website. The company offers free initial consultations and operates by appointment to ensure focused, personalized engagement.
Yes, the company offers technologies such as low-level oil sensors designed for industrial and large stationary engines to monitor oil levels, reduce maintenance costs, and prevent catastrophic failures, enhancing operational safety and reliability.
C-K Technologies is headquartered in Ellisville, Missouri, and serves clients nationally across the United States as well as internationally.
The company addresses issues such as excessive blowby, oil consumption, ring wear, bore distortion, friction losses, and sealing challenges in both spark ignition and compression ignition engines.
Yes, the firm supports automotive, motorsport, and performance engineering teams by optimizing piston and ring pack designs, analyzing cylinder bore finish, and solving oil control challenges under extreme operating conditions.
C-K Technologies uses proprietary tools including the PROMPT Cylinder Kit Model for performance prediction, SEE 3D for surface characteristic analysis, BEE 3D for bore geometry measurement, and patented low-level oil sensing technology.
The company integrates quantitative modeling with high-precision physical measurements and expert interpretation, translating complex data into specific design, material, or process recommendations that clients can implement effectively.
