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

application areas

Brake boosters

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 very high loads iglidur Z

Shift fork

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

Plain bearing in variable-length intake manifold

Variable intake manifold

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

Turbocharger

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