Commercial vehicles demand the highest levels of reliability and availability. As a result, the use of plastics in this highly stressed sector is often underestimated—especially regarding mechanical strength and thermal resistance. However, plastics offer numerous advantages beyond their common applications. Their low weight, corrosion resistance, and damping properties make them an attractive alternative to metallic materials in many applications.
If you are considering replacing metallic materials or improving the performance of plastic parts, we are happy to assist you with feasibility studies and implementation. With our many years of experience in using high-performance materials, we are well positioned for especially demanding applications and develop customized plastic components tailored to your commercial vehicle requirements.
In the powertrain sector, we supply sealing rings (including inner sealing types) for oil rotary unions, thrust washers for transmissions, as well as plain bearings and other tribologically loaded components made from high-performance plastics.
For light commercial vehicles, we have developed a self-adjusting pressure piece for steering systems that prevents wear on the housing and pressure piece while simultaneously reducing noise.
In addition, we offer the design and manufacturing of tire pressure regulation systems for chassis applications. However, we are not limited to specific products – we are happy to address the individual requirements of your product and provide consulting support with our extensive expertise.
We don’t just focus on the individual part but also consider the assembly or entire system to find and implement the best solution for your application. Early involvement in the development process allows for optimal component design and can help reduce costs.
