Bearing technology for the engine compartment

Reduce vibration and corrosion on turbochargers, throttle valves, etc.

Whether shift intake manifold, shift fork, belt tensioner, exhaust gas recirculation valve, throttle valve or turbocharger, things get hot in the engine compartment. To reduce friction and wear in the various applications, choosing the right plain bearing is of great importance. We will be happy to help you make the right choice.

Requirements for bearings in engine compartment applications:

Resistance to engine and transmission oil
Heat resistant up to 200°C
Resistant to particle abrasion

Advantages of our bearing technology:

Cost benefits compared to needle bearings or metallic rolled bearings
Vibration dampening
No contact corrosion between housing and bearing
Ideally suited in combination with plastic shafts

Application areas

Brake booster

Wear-resistant, low-friction and with excellent temperature and media resistance: plain bearings iglidur H1 and iglidur H4

Throttle valve

Perfect replacement for needle bearings: media and temperature-resistant plain bearings iglidur H1 and iglidur H4, or for particularly high loads iglidur Z

Shift fork

With temperature-resistant plain bearings iglidur H4 or iglidur X: no more contact corrosion as with metal bushings and better dampening

Plain bearing in variable-length intake manifold

Variable-length intake manifolds

Perfect replacement for needle bearings: media and temperature-resistant plain bearings iglidur H1 and iglidur H4, or for particularly high loads iglidur Z

Turbocharger

igubal coupling joints can be used at high temperatures, depending on the material, and are therefore ideally suited for use in turbochargers. They are also dirt-resistant and corrosion-free.
