Seal Rings

sealrings_rechteckdichtringe

LS Kunststofftechnologie puts a special emphasis on slide ring seals. These important components are found in automatic gear boxes, CVTs and double clutch systems. They are a cost effective and functionally improved replace­ment for conventional metal and non-metal rings. Various joint types can be designed to meet individual needs.
Thanks to a fully automated test bench for these slide ring seals we constantly improve the development of the high temperature materials used in the process. During bench tests we evaluate a wide number of parameters and thus can make informed statements about the leakage and friction behaviour or run a pre-develop­ment phase to individual specifications.

Facts:

  • Applications: AT, CVT and DCT, adjustable camshafts, differentials, hydraulic pumps etc.
  • PAI, TPI, PEEK-materials with low frictions, high temperature and wear resistance
  • Power loss reduced design (optimised by thermo-mechanical FEA)
  • Advanced joint geometry with controlled gaps for low leakage
  • In-house test rig for function and endurance tests
  • Design specials for assembly

Thrust Washer

thrust_washer_anlaufscheibe
Our thrust washers are found predominantly in transmissions. Special tribo-compounds of high performance plastics in the high temperature range guarantee an optimal work profile with suitable pressure resistance and less wear even with high sliding speeds, temperatures and loads.

Facts:

  • Wear and friction reduced PAI, TPI, PEEK-materials for dry and lubricated applications
  • Fixing: snap or press fit
  • Shapes: plain or with lubrication pockets

Steering system yokes

An important criterium is the absolute reliability of this safty-related component. With our know how we support your design and material selection, only in this way are succesful production parts developed.

Ball joint liners

ball_joint_liners_kugelschalen Our ball sockets are used mainly in steering systems. As we work with high performance polymers we create considerable safety reserves compared to conventional engineering plastics. The improved heat resistance makes for better performance in often smaller installation spaces. Special tooling technologies allow for an innovative product design.

Stop rings
