Friction Inserts help car manufacturers and their suppliers meet the challenges of future mobility.
Fit for E-mobility, with no compromise in performance
In the future, car manufacturers will be facing more challenges than today. To optimize sourcing and development costs, same part strategies need to be implemented.
Friction Inserts can help meet the future challenges of the automotive industry
Friction Inserts can be used for various car components:Steering gear, Engine carrier, Gearbox, Thrust arm, Differential gearbox, Axle beam, Tailgate hinge…
By increasing the static friction coefficient, Friction Inserts enable car manufacturers and Tier suppliers to increase the performance of their components significantly. Manufacturers can also reduce the number or size of bolts and still be able to transmit the required torques and shear forces.
Because Friction Inserts do not add any additional tolerance to the parts, it is possible to use it as a repair element in emergency cases where existing connections are at their performance limit.
It is also feasible to implement a shared-parts strategy which means the same parts can be used for several different vehicle platforms or car models.
