Bearing technology for the engine compartment

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

Whether it's a variable 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, the selection of the right plain bearing is of great importance. We would be happy to assist you in your selection.

Requirements for bearings in engine compartment applications:

Resistance to engine and gear oil
Resistant to heat up to 200°C
Resistant to particle abrasion

Advantages of our bearing technology:

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