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 roller bearings or metallic rolled bearings
Vibration damping
No contact corrosion between housing and bearing
Ideally suited in combination with plastic shafts

Application areas

Brake booster

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

Throttle valve

Perfect replacement of 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 bearings iglidur ® H4 or iglidur ® X: no more contact corrosion as with metallic bushings and better damping

Plain bearing in variable-length intake manifold

Shift intake manifold

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

Turbocharger

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